Good morning, good afternoon or good evening wherever you are in the world!

This week I have spoken with people from Holland, Australia, Canada, Singapore, UK and South Africa.

After a call with me, people feel excited and at ease knowing their relocation to Bali is very possible.

Some of the topics we can chat about in a Zoom call together:

Short-term and long-term housing
Furnished and unfurnished villas
Preschools, schools and different educational opportunities
Best location to live and information about the neighbourhood
Safety
Expat communities
Visas (great agent too)
Bringing a baby and young children
Practical financial advice
Hiring staff and salaries
Health insurance and medical information
Driving options and getting around
Cultural information to assist with fitting into local life
General cost of living and what to budget
Everyday practicalities
Pre-departure planning
Settling in
Pet relocation and so much more!

Send me a DM if you wish to book a free Zoom call.

I look forward to hearing from you!

We leave Bali and head over to the gorgeous Gill i

We leave Bali and head over to the gorgeous Gill islands where we meet this dutch family @indotravelvibes raising baby Nalu on Gilli Trawangan.

For the past year they have been building their own two deluxe guest rooms that they have started to rent out @nalu.house.gili

Charissa's advice when it comes to moving with kids....

"Some people think it is not possible to travel or live abroad with kids. If you have kids and this is still a wish, I would say just do it. For example, when it comes to schooling, there are so many possibilities. You can also think about unschooling or homeschooling. My opinion is that there is so much to learn in the world and not only between the walls of a class room. And the best thing to do is to follow your heart!"

Interview in BIO and always in the family expat collection on the website.

Thanks Shae and family from @expatroasters for sha

Thanks Shae and family from @expatroasters for sharing your Bali journey with us (full interview in the expat family collection on the website).

Great advice...everyone can live their best Bali life but always make sure you come with an open mind.

From a super luxury lifestyle, outdoor nature adventures and budget accomodation and food, Bali can provide it all.

Bali and its beautiful rice fields. No matter where you decide to live you will come across Bali's famous rice fields. These photos are taken from Seminyak, Kerobokan and Sideman.

It has been another great week chatting with people from around Australia, Canada & USA and the UK. These future Bali expats are looking to move to Bali for 3-6 months, 5 years and indefinite!

This August is also a popular time to get to Bali so families are ready for the start of the new school year.

So many great schools to choose from and I love giving advise and making introductions.

Feel free to sign up to the mailing list and I look forward to chatting with you soon too!

Family of six from Utah, USA @therunawayfamily sol

Family of six from Utah, USA @therunawayfamily sold everything and have been traveling full time since 2019.

They were ready for a home base after a few years of travel, and Bali checked all the boxes!

According to mum Malinda, Bali is "Gorgeous, off the charts adventure opportunities, some of the kindest people, awesome eats, and super affordable to boot!"

Living in Canggu and homeschooling their four children, they have committed for a year, but they will stay as long as it feels right for their family.

What a great way to end the week with this message

What a great way to end the week with this message. Lots of families are getting excited for their upcoming move to Bali for August and the start of the new school year. Some moving to Ubud and some are moving to Canggu. I give them the confidence to make the plan become a reality and I am there to assist along the way and point them in right direction.

Before you relocate to Bali make sure you research

Before you relocate to Bali make sure you research this amazing culture, its traditions and lifestyle.

Across the island you will see endless ancient temples, magnificent old architecture, and exotic landscapes.

Apart from daily rituals, there are so many other traditional ceremonies and events that come from Bali Hinduism. Learn about their beliefs and how it all relates to appeasing their ancestors, honoring their Gods and praying to the spirit world.

Even though Indonesia has the world’s largest Muslim nation (231 million), the unique Balinese culture remains.
