Come to Bali, they said it’ll be sunny they said.Hello, everyone talking for the first time.Oh, wow.How is it out there baby you’re scared?how’s that coconut baby?Very delicious.Bye baby.Have a safe flight.And then for the last two weeks or so I actually, got a villa with some other vloggers so yeah, I’m really excited guys because this is the start of the Indonesia series it’s not gonna be as large of a series as some of the other ones that I’ve made but it’s going to be a fun one.We’re gonna do a lot of stuff with many different people but guys more specifically in today’s video I want to give you the proper introduction to what life is like here in Indonesia.Where I’m staying kind of like how things are right now and so I better tell you guys where I’m at I am on the beach just a little bit south of Berawa beach and basically, over here as you can see there are you know nicer beaches it’s more of a brown sand beach.We’ve got beach clubs on the right side.
The Best Beaches in Canggu for Relaxing
We’ve got a bunch of different places over here to hang out.Unfortunately, you can see that the sea has brought up a little bit of trash but yeah, it’s a really nice spot.It’s one of the better beaches to hang out here in the Canggu area.So, it’s quite nice and relaxing I actually, haven’t even in the month I’ve been here.Well, three of the weeks I was here in Canggu I haven’t even walked this far down.So, I just decided to start walking and see where we end up but like along the beaches here guys in Canggu you can find so many spots to literally just relax here.We’ve got like all these little local surf shops.We’ve got places to get coconuts places to hang out and of course, later in the evening you can actually catch the sunset here too.The beaches in Canggu guys are actually known for being a great place to surf.
Bali’s white sand beaches: Not as beautiful as Uluw
So, they’re not gonna be your most beautiful white sand beaches that you’ll find in other parts of Bali like we’ll show you in an upcoming video when we go to Uluwatu but it is really nice.It is refreshing.Oh, let me tell you that going in the water right now.That feels good.So yeah, it’s just a nice place to walk through for your mind and enjoy yourself a nice coconut right over here as well.So yeah, guys just wanted to show you a little bit of the beach now we’re gonna walk back over to the scooter show you what I’m paying for this scooter, for a monthly rental, and then we’ll take a little cruise, I’ll show you my neighborhood where I’m staying kind of like the convenience, share with you guys a little bit of what the villa looks like, how much it costs and kind of the process of finding a villa out here, and that’ll be a good time.So, we’ll see you back at the scooter.
Bali’s Most Popular Beach Club: Finns Beach Club
So, guys we’re just about back up to the scooter we’re gonna be showing you well one of the places that most people want to see when they go up here is to or when they come to Bali is Finns beach club.So, there’s not too much going on right now it is midday over here and so honestly coming to Finns beach club you’ll want to do it but you’ll want to wait till around the sunset time and you’re gonna have a lot of fun.It’s a good time it is expensive it shows you the expensive side of Bali you’ll be paying quite a few dollars per drink but worth it to have an amazing sunset.So, guys here we are right over here so guys this is the scooter that I rented for the month here.It’s like I wanna say 150cc and I paid roughly 1.8 million which comes to about like 3.50 per day came with two helmets with it.
How to Rent a Motorcycle in Bali
No insurance it wasn’t even an option to get it but you just got to drive safe when you’re here in these Asian countries but- but yeah, basically you can get this one and you’ll pay a little bit more obviously, it’s a much larger scooter it’s good because you can pop this down toss someone else on the back on it so you can probably get three people on there.If you’ve seen like my Pakistan or India series a bike this big we could get like four or five people on and then Luke, they got Luke and Harry they got a little bit of a smaller bike.Harry got a bike like this a smaller Honda you’ll see it once we get back to the place and then Luke got like a scoopy and I think he’s paying maybe like two dollars per day so really good price.I wanted something a bit bigger because like I said the first couple weeks I was here I was with my girlfriend and you know having a bigger bike when we’re doing road trips around the island just made it that much more comfortable.
This is a Professional Short Headline for the Article “This is a
So, let’s go ahead get this thing started up.It’s actually an electric starter moped.So, you just toss that on pull the– Put the kickstand up.Gotta get that helmet on though guys.There are a lot of deaths unfortunately in southeast Asia from moped accidents.So, wear that helmet I highly recommend it.Yeah, so there we go this is the moped we got the gas down there we’ve got seat opener, fuel, and it’s a pretty new moped we’ve got about 6,000 kilometers on it.So, let’s go ahead and back this thing out and all you gotta do is start it up.Hold the brake down, hit the electric start and she starts right up.So, guys that is a small little tour for you guys at the beach I wanted to show you kind of I guess you could call this my neighborhood close to Finns beach club.close to this beach right here like all through this neighborhood you’re gonna find plenty of areas to walk around– Hello!We’ve got shops here lots of clothing stores really like modern- modern restaurants here.
Bali’s traffic congestion is a downside to its popularity
Oh, gotta watch out for the car shouldn’t be vlogging and driving.And yeah like the nice part is here in Canggu you can find anything you need very close.We’ve got laundry, we’ve got scooter rentals.All of these places are available those little bottles right there that’s actually, where you get gas from, you’ll see it on the right side there as well.So, guys as you can see like the the nice part is when you’re in Canggu the thing that I like the most about it so far is the convenience of getting everything you need very easily.What I don’t like is and maybe I’ll overlay a little clip here is how much traffic there is.So with Bali just kind of reopening up recently and letting a lot of tourists in.
Bali is a paradise for tourists
It is really starting to fill up so let’s put it this way something that might normally take you 15 minutes will take you 45 minutes even and so you know the wait times to go from one side of the city can take you a while but that’s kind of part of the fun and so yeah on the way back to the villa here guys.A little bit more to show you I believe that’s a temple right there and obviously, we’re in Bali you got a lot of tattoo shops another one there to the right and lots of different places to purchase things so really just such a nice place as you can kind of feel here like everyone’s on mopeds.Everyone’s just kind of enjoying life and that’s one of the things that really attracted me to Bali is just the quality of life.The fun getting around by a scooter type of you know day-to-day lifestyle and delicious- delicious food everywhere we go which we’ll hopefully be sharing with you guys in a bunch more upcoming videos as we’re here in Bali for about two more weeks.

The Villas of Bali – A Lovely Place to Call Home
To be honest like had I gone back or like let’s say I wasn’t with my girlfriend the first two weeks I probably would have just gotten the smaller one it’s cheaper it’s easier to park and when you have to back it out of crazy places it’s let’s put it this way much easier.You gotta be pretty strong to move this big bike.So, anyways guys here is going to be the villa tour.So, we’re entering in and this is kind of like the front yard the pool hangout spot.As you can see here, we have been living here a bit we’ve got a few stains there on the cement but a really nice place so as you can see like when you walk in it’s really got its Bali feel here.We’ve got the kind of plants basically bringing out the excitement of just like having a wall right there and a lot of the like buildings right around us also have some nice vibrant flowers you just get that comfortable feel.
A Swingin’ Pool and Shower Nearby Makes This Villa Feel
I will tell you like straight away the downside with this villa is there’s not that much time when the sun directly comes down on it.it’s not the end of the world but it’s definitely you know like in terms of long-term preferences something I’d want more is a little bit more space in the backyard/front yard but you know coming around the side of this place here we’ve got a swinging chair here.So, let’s put it this way if this doesn’t scream Bali I don’t know what screams Bali a swinging chair over a pool next to your villa and then back over on this side we’ve got a shower a little outdoor shower so for example I was just down at the beach and get the footsies cleaned off and there we go so we got that conveniently located and you guys are probably wondering what the pool feels like right now well let’s just tell you three, two, one.Oh, Very nice the dank we got Luke over there.Hello sire, I need a chicken thigh.Hello, good morning Bali.Good morning.It’s been a while.

Luke Damant and he is– Welcome home.Thank you sire as you can see it is so good to be home and love never fails so we got some interesting quotes there.We got him grinding away but let’s go ahead and get started with this villa tour here guys I am standing right now in kind of the mix between the living room and the dining room and the kitchen so you get a bit of all of it.Place is a little messy at the moment because as you can see it is grind city here we’ve got the laptops out we’ve got many different books being read and we have a lighter for candles right there.Yeah, or cigars yeah, some good cigars but it’s a really good working space.You better show the cigars.Where do we got them hidden?Oh yeah, there they are right here.So, these are Bali customs called Robusto and we don’t recommend smoking as you can see on the advertisement right there it is bad for you I’m not sure how we get these things open have I lost it.The front.Oh, there we go pop them open and Oh yeah.

Bali: The Island of Delicious Food Delivery
It is actually being cooked at the moment actually, it’s in the process.Exactly delivery food is literally all we’ve had for the multiple weeks that we’ve already been in this place.And so, yeah, the kitchen’s more for looks I guess you could say but yeah, that is that’s pretty much it if you are gonna be someone that’s cooking here you got a bit of everything.We’ve got glasses, we’ve got plates, we’ve got silverware, and pretty much everything.You need to chef up a delicious meal I know some people in Bali they like to hire a chef because it’s pretty low cost if you’re coming with like a western budget to have someone come and cook your food we just go for the usual go jack or grab delivery and have it come right to the doorstep.
Laundry Facilities in Bali
So yeah, guys coming over here like I said the laundry machine in a lot of countries, it’s pretty normal not to have a dryer so we just have the washing machine and then you probably saw when you’re outside there’s a drying rack if you need and on the first floor we actually have a bathroom.
Bali’s Upgraded Shower Allows Guests to Chill and Breathe
The shower here is just used to store our old water jugs to be refilled and the nice part is we just have the convenience of a toilet and a sink right down here so we don’t have to run all the way up to the rooms when we need to use the bathroom but yeah, it’s a really nice and modern layout as you can see one of the things that I love about this place specifically is how high the ceilings are because when you have high ceilings it like totally makes the place feel that much larger and you know just that much more breathing room to chill and it’s funny like I’m testing out some of this furniture I’ve never actually, even sat on this couch and we’ve been in here for two weeks already but let’s try it out.Oh, yeah that is nice.Oh, lost me there.
Delightful Air-conditioned Home in Bali
But yeah, it’s a comfy set of furniture it honestly feels like we’re the first people to move in here that is not verified or anything I’m just guessing but it’s really nice you know everything’s modern everything’s in good condition we’ve got even views of the rice paddies let’s put it this way they’re not in their prime state yet to go out there and get those beautiful Instagram photos but they will be probably in a couple weeks or months however long it takes and yeah, so that’s kind of like the kitchen slash dining room and then a little bit of the living room that you haven’t seen here is the couch here so I just recently realized this is the best seat in town which makes sense why Luke’s always sleeping in it but yeah, it’s the place to vibe out read a book turn on the tv which we did for the first time in two weeks and yeah, it’s a really nice overall area I didn’t show you even over here but basically like if it wasn’t so hot you could open all of the windows or actually, all of the doors here and just get that cross breeze.We’ve got one, two, and three doors right there.
Bali’s Natural Hot Weather: Enjoy the AC while it lasts
So, you know if you want that kind of outdoor living then you got that option for us we’re loving the ac, it is hot here every day.It’s like 30- 35 Celsius maybe that’s a bit of a jump but it’s hot enough where the AC is running all day.Explain the the towels outside.Oh, good point, good point.So, out of all the places I’ve been I’ve stayed on a fair amount of villas houses all around the world but I’ve never heard of this and what this is is I’m gonna come outside here– Oh, unlock first.I’m gonna come right outside here guys and show you we’re looking at a power box exciting right.But actually this power box has the amount of power we have available.
Home Away From Home in Bali: Luxurious Villa with Pre Paid
So, at the gas station when we passed on the way down before we turned down the street you can go up there and purchase power so basically, it’s prepaid right like you only ever imagine a cell phone plan to be prepaid or maybe other things like that but like here in a lot of the villas you prepay for the power and then you basically get a number you type it in here enter and then it’ll refill your power and I believe at ATMs some ATMs a lot of like gas stations not gas stations but like small shops convenience stores grocery stores all these different types of places that’s where you can go and refill your power in different volumes and quantities.Alright, we got that thing locked and that’s pretty much the first floor here it’s good nice furniture overall like I was showing you guys here I think I missed these chairs everything’s very comfortable so you can tell they put in a lot of thought into designing this place making it feel sleek not overloaded with too much just like stuff everywhere but enough to really give you that homey feel.

Dehumidifier and a mirror what up and then each room also has a private bathroom so come in here it’s a modern bathroom this is like the only windows I get so I still get some natural light in here but like I don’t get any in the bedroom so that’s definitely a con for me in terms of like things I like things I don’t like about this place but in any event at least I have some light if I had no light coming in it’d be so hard to wake up but yeah guys it’s a nice- nice bathroom overall we’ve got multiple types of shower heads you can use we’ve got the rain down and yeah it’s got hot water I’ve never really had any issues there western toilet we got the bun gum we’ve got a laundry hamper and yeah, so like I said the only really downside of this room is there’s just not really any storage furniture and if there was let’s put it this way that would be a big plus and if there’s another window but other than that, it’s a great place gets the job done.We’ve got overhead lighting in here as well.

Bali Villa Rentals: What to Expect & How Much it Costs
He’s got a good amount of storage space on this side a safe and it looks like he’s got the largest bathroom so there’s a reason why they call this one the master plenty of counter space and garbage a little bit of everything you need.So, yeah guys pretty sweet overall layout to this place it was interesting how they made the rooms because like honestly as you saw in those rooms like each one is so different from the other and so there wasn’t really any consistency made in the villa but yeah, it’s an amazing place nonetheless and so, let’s head downstairs we’re going to go take a seat and I’ll share with you some more details of the cost of this villa and maybe some other helpful information if you guys are thinking about coming to Bali.
Bali Villa for Sale – 45 Million Rupiah Cash Required
So, I figured to talk about the price that we’re paying for this place the perfect spot would be right here the reason why I’m pointing right here I’m going to overlay a video right here yes, what you’re looking at right here is 45 million rupiah.All in cash.So, it was pretty funny when we got the villa we had to withdraw so much cash that was pretty much the only option I’m sure, like other villas if you’re staying for a longer period of time maybe you don’t have to pay in cash I don’t know but for us we had to show up with 45 mil.
How to save money on your vacation in bali: look for pre
So, you can imagine it was a lot to count we looked like we were running a drug deal so pretty funny to have that much cash but what is 45 mil right 45 mills for three people to have this villa for one month which is about three thousand and one hundred and fifty dollars I wanna say the total was one thousand and fifty-six dollars roughly per person for a month here now you’re probably thinking like holy [ __ ] that’s a lot of money and yeah, it is pretty expensive the thing is is as I told you earlier in the video Canggu is starting to get very busy Bali’s starting to get busy tourism is opening up keep in mind this place has been shut down losing money for two years.So these landlords want to get some of that money back supply and demand is a real thing so obviously with this influx of so many tourists coming in from all over the world prices are gonna go up options are going to be less let me just tell you this one Luke and I we’re looking at places maybe three four weeks before there were so many options at I don’t want to say a huge fraction but a smaller fraction of what we actually paid for this place.
Looking for a place to stay in Bali? Consider booking as far
We had more land options in terms of like a backyard, a bigger pool, larger rooms, a bit more space overall but if you didn’t jump on it early on you’re not going to get it and so if you’re thinking about coming to Bali I just want to share with you that look into it as far in advance as you can and get that place booked lock in that great price because the last couple days before we found this place I didn’t I was doing some traveling previously before and so the other guys were doing all the research and they went to quite a few different places and did not have that much luck in terms of like finding exactly what we were looking for while also finding it at the price we wanted.So yeah, I mean we still got lucky that we got this place but let’s put it this way if we would have booked this place like a month in advance I bet we would have gotten it for maybe 20- 30 percent cheaper had it been available.
Finding the perfect villa in Bali: Costs and considerations
But that just gives you an idea of what a place in Bali is going to cost you I’ve heard you know some friends during the pandemic they had like a loft one bedroom place and they were paying like 1300 dollars per month, it had a pool a little bit larger of a yard than we’ve got over here and I don’t know if it included any utilities but you know that gives you an idea of what it would cost if you can plan far enough in advance to you know find that ideal villa you want.Places you can find the villas I’ll mention you can go on Airbnb obviously, you’re going to pay probably the most on Airbnb just simply because Airbnb charges their fees there’s a lot of short-term rentals basically, that are competition to longer-term rentals but the longer you book a place as always, the cheaper you’re usually going to be able to find it for.
How to find a villa in Bali, Indonesia
