The Real Reason We Came To Bali...

Right, so we had a nice little layover in Abu Dhabi. Now we are about to hop on our plane to Kuala Lumpur, and then, then I think we finally reach Bali. I'm like delirious right now, but I'm still kind of buzzing to get there. All right, last leg of the journey. We're on a Malaysian Airlines flight, so, uh, if the plane goes missing, just recover this footage and make a sick vlog out of it. That's all I ask. Right, next stop, Bali. So Rob made it to Bali. Finally, I need sleep, unpack, freshen up, and then I'll be right as rain. Okay, what is up everyone? So that was the longest journey ever, and to top it all off, me, I brought us to the wrong hotel first. Guilty, I'm sorry everyone. But, uh, so we got a huge sleep in, like we honestly went to sleep at like 7 PM, and now it is— what time is it? It's just gone past 7 AM. So we recharged the batteries, got into our rooms, unpacked, and now We've got coffee and breakfast in front of us, so our moods are just so much better. Do you want to show us what we've got going on here? So I went for the salmon omelette, you got this delicious pesto egg sandwich thing. Sarah's already gone to town on hers. The woman couldn't wait 2 minutes. But, uh, so the plan is today we are going to have a look around, bring you, bud. We want to find a sick waterfall, um, just to take pictures at, to record and get just like some cool footage. I want to hit the gym. I've looked up this really cool ghetto kind of gym that's like 10 minutes away from here, and we also want to hit the supermarket to kind of get adapters, uh, charge all our— for our camera equipment and stuff. So catch up with you in a bit. Oh, okay, that was essential. Now I feel fully ready to go. Dip in the pool, savage. Okay, let's fire this up. Ah, but even like the garden looks good here. Yeah. All right, look at that. Whoa, the color grading is like really good on it. Alright guys, so I decided we just prop up the camera and do a little bit of talking and tell you guys the real reason we're in Bali. So yeah, we're here on holiday and to unwind, relax. You know, I had a kind of hectic December and start of the new year just getting my book ready, getting it up and putting it on store, editing it, so on so forth, just getting everything organized. And so yeah, we are here to relax and have a good time. But we are also kind of here on work, hence why we brought Ben. So, you know, social media influencer marketing is something that I'm really interested in. And with the fitness industry, you know, I've, uh, I've broken into that industry and, you know, that's all going great. But some— another industry that I want to get into is kind of the travel industry. So we are collaborating with a couple hotels here This one is Suwarti Boutique Villas. I'll give you a house tour later, but we absolutely love it. But travel is something that I love. I just love going to new places, and then I also love combining fitness with that. So finding a new gym, you know, seeing any good— finding some good restaurants, places to eat in the local vicinity. So that's something that I— that's somewhere that I want to go with this channel. So do a bit of like fitness travel lifestyle. Um, another reason is that we want to create so much content. Like, I want to have, like, you know, content for the rest of the year. Like, you know, be able to just post cool pictures if I'm ever, like, stuck for an Instagram, make some really cool edits. If all goes to plan, even make a sick viral video. Um, you know, those, like, couple viral videos or something. So yeah, and I just wanted to try my hand at something new, which is, you know, travel vlogging. So that's the real reason why we're here. Yes, we're here on holiday, but we are also here to try out new things and new ventures. So, oh, whoa, it looks way better now. Yeah, this road looks pretty good. This is crazy. It's like rural, then lovely resort, but this is still kind of nice. Yeah, I was told to rent a moped as well. Brett Gibbs, if you're watching this, shout out to you for the idea. He's my favorite powerlifter ever. Yeah, see that picture top left? That's like every girl on Instagram's current go. Okay, so we just got back from the village there. We're getting like some essentials— water, suntan lotion, adapters, stuff like that. So I decided it'd now be a good time to give you a little house tour. So first off, we got these cool-ass doors that we walk into. Then it's all jungle vibes everywhere. Then this is kind of like the little seating area hallway. It's very chill, I like it. And then that's Ben's villa room on the right there, and then me and Sarah's here. Excuse all the kind of bags laid out everywhere, but it's like a really big bed. It's like got a cabin fever— cabin fever— it's got a cabin vibe to it. And then in here is the bathroom, which is also really nice. It's got like just a massive mirror. Then we go outside to the pool. Again, like, when you come outside to the pool, just everything looks so cool with all the plants and trees everywhere. It's absolutely roasting as well. And then when you stand here and you look up at the two villas, it just looks like really cool, the two cabins. So yeah, that's the place, Suwarti Boutique Villas. Uh, the staff here also so nice, food here is really good. So far it's two thumbs up. All right, so update We are on the way to one of those epic waterfalls that we've been wanting to go to for ages. Um, when in Ubud— Ubud is the kind of like jungly place, it's not by the coast, so apparently this is the best place for the kind of waterfalls and the sights and everything. So we're going into the jungle to check out this, this place. I don't know what it's going to be like, but it's going to be really cool. Okay, so we're here at the spot, the waterfall place. That is where we want to go. Okay, so we made it to the waterfall, and just looking at the bottom of it, it looks like so powerful. So I want to get underneath there, to be honest. But first things first— hey, there you go! What's up? First things first, We want to go over here so we can safely fly the drone. I don't know how this is gonna go. This is definitely the scariest place I've ever flown drone. Yeah, we've walked across that. Oh God, yeah, if we fall into that, it's game over. Goodbye, YouTube. I do not like this. I do miss the monkeys. We're just saying, like, if you're a social media influencer, how much easier would it just be to be an Instagrammer? Like, some of the things I do for YouTube— still not complaining, I love sharing my life with the world. That was, that was totally first world problems. So Rob, successful trip? Yes, big time! But I did not know how much that would tire us out. Like, we're all so wrecked. It's so humid as well. Yeah, but like, I feel like I got some good exercise in, got some really good shots and some really good content. So overall, productive day. Now time for dinner. Yeah, now time for food. Yeah, we worked up a hunger. Aww. Cut the camera! Okay, let's set up base camp for here. We'll continue the summit in the morning. This definitely substitutes our workout for to that. Yeah, send it down. Just to— whoa, are you— no, you're— thanks, thanks for spilling my coconut. I was really looking forward to this. But, uh, so yeah, just to complete the whole occasion, we even ordered a coconut. Bali experience. Yeah, the Bali experience. So wait, I know I like these. So here, Ben, you've never tried one, right? Your first time. Thoughts? I actually like that. Yeah, yeah, I know most people don't. I mean, it'd be really nice if it was like cold. Yeah, if you had some ice in it. Yeah, one thing I really like about the market people here is they are just like very easygoing. Like, I was getting a pair of swim shorts and she was like, how much are these? They're like 160. And I was like, about 50. Straight away, yep. I was like, no problem. I was like, not even an argument? You're not even gonna try? Let's go back up now. Okay, so eventful day. We got up at like 6 AM, or I already got— I woke up at like 5 AM, and then we did a bit of sunbathing, explored the village, uh, you know, kind of gathered our bearings, got to know our surroundings, went to the waterfall, spent a couple of hours there, did a lot of walking. So we are very hungry and tired. So I got what looks like an awesome meal. It's like tuna steak sweet potatoes, corn, steamed veg, and some hand-cut fries. And Sarah got the same. And then Ben, you got like spaghetti and prawns and stuff. Prawns, yeah, right. So cut the camera, time to eat. What did you get, Rob? Cookies and cream. I'm like pure relaxation right now, just post-dinner ice cream. Life is good. All right guys, so it's late, we're tired, uh, we had an action-packed day. I hope you enjoyed this first Bali vlog.
