OUR YEAR IN BALI FAMILIES

Experienced expats relocating to Bali for a work contract.

“Simone has been an absolutely invaluable resource throughout our move to Bali.

Having moved from country to country many times over the years, we are so grateful to have had Simone’s resources, experience and support on our side from the start.

This has included her advice and resources regarding shipping, moving pets, banking, finding housing, finding domestic help, hiring transportation, and even helpful tips with basic local language!

If you have children needing a school, I know she’s well versed in the different options in that area as well.

Her guidebook is still very much our “Go To” whenever we have a question about our new home.

We are extremely glad we have that at our fingertips.

I think our final thought on Simone’s contribution to our seamless move to Bali would have to be robust and sincere, Thank you, Simone, and thank you, Our Year in Bali!”

Aye and Perry, Hong Kong

Selling up in Australia to purchase a home and retire in Nusa Lembongan.

“My husband and I have been thinking about retiring to Bali for a couple of years.

It was overwhelming to read all the different information we received on what we could and couldn’t do.

I found Simone via social media and she offered a free phone call. We found her to be very knowledgeable so we signed up for her package.

Wow!

The support and the team Simone works with are amazing!

We are selling our house at the moment and and have purchased a house in Nusa Lembongan using Simone’s contacts and it’s been so smooth from the purchase to our retirement visas.

I would highly recommend her to navigate you through moving to Bali – we are hoping to living there by the end of the year!”

Helen, Australia

Looking forward to a great family gap year and attending the Green School.

“I was totally overwhelmed with the list of things to do before our Bali adventure. Moving OS can test anyone’s nerves, then a friend mentioned “Our year in Bali” and our journey with Simone began.

Her connections and resources made our move so much easier.

Her service is gold class and her care and commitment is next level.

Thanks Simone we think you are fabulous.”

“We’re so pleased we got Simone on board to help us turn our dream of moving to Bali for a year into reality.

From the moment we had our first zoom chat, I realised “this is really going to happen, there’s no turning back!”

Since then, we have been busy digesting all the amazing info Simone provided, so comprehensive and thorough.

I am glad we enlisted her help early as there’s loads to get through and it’s given us the reassurance that we’re not going to overlook something important.

Thanks again for everything Simone, your service really IS awesome! I wouldn’t do it any other way!”

Bec & Roman, Australia

Selling up everything in Australia and retiring in Seminyak.

“Whilst I had become very familiar with Bali over the years, moving there to live is a completely different kettle of fish.

I bought Simone’s Gold package to get my head around all the details of taking up a long term lease, bills, a school for my son, etc. have made some fantastic contacts through Simone and some are now good friends.

It’s not long now until our move and I am completely organised thanks to Simone’s info and referrals.

I can highly recommend Simone’s Services.”
