Now, my Bali tip. Right now I'm not in Bali, I'm actually in Europe. However, I go to Bali pretty frequently. It's been like every year now, um, for a second. Bali is, yeah, one of those places that you just never know how long you want to stay. Now, the last time I went there, I flew from Honolulu, South Korea straight to Denpasar, Indonesia. That's the airport where they of Bali, basically. I had to buy a return ticket before leaving, so I just bought the cheapest plane ticket. I was in Honolulu Airport and I just bought the cheapest plane ticket I saw when I was at the airport, and it was a flight to Singapore. I was like, whatever, I don't know if I'm gonna take the flight from Bali to Singapore, but I'll just buy the ticket and, uh, we'll see. But yeah, Bali is one of those places like It's— there's a lot of expats living there. If you do want to live there, don't like overstay your visa, don't do any of that legal kind of stuff. There are agencies that you can hire there, which people introduced me to, that take care of all that visa stuff for you if you want to be a digital nomad in Bali and change to a visa that allows you to stay there longer. Um, so yeah, I definitely recommend going to Bali and just like expect the unexpected, that you might want to stay there longer than anticipated. So you still may be required to buy a return ticket like I did. Just buy it to a cheap place nearby like Singapore, and then you can choose to take the flight or not. This time I chose to take the flight. Had some influencing to do in Singapore, so I took the flight to Singapore. Bali is magical. It's not overrated. It is a super cool place to go.
