Everyone online makes Bali look like a dream: coconuts, pool villas, working two hours a day from a laptop. I lived it for 2.5 years — and while parts of it were incredible, the reality is way more complicated.
In this episode, I break down what life as a digital nomad in Bali is really like. The freedom, the hidden costs, the loneliness, the constant pressure to “live the dream”… and why it didn’t fully click for me. If you’ve ever thought about moving overseas, this one’s for you.Chapters:
