I almost picked a different place. We had been going back and forth between a handful of villas in Seminyak, and The Kunja kept appearing in the shortlist without ever feeling like the obvious choice.

I just finished my first silent retreat at Forest Island, and I didn't expect it to hit as hard as it did. The place sits in a steep-sided valley in central Bali, wrapped in bamboo and dense forestry so

A fairly exhausting but enjoyable day. Kuta is where I grew up into my teenage years. It’s been a very long time since I last came back here. I have some activities in Bali this week, so this weekend felt

The neighbours' dog barks non-stop and these morons do absolutely nothing about it. I’m fed up. I tried ignoring the racket, but now it’s screaming all through the night while they sit there in a trance.

So every thing together: Finding a nice river, with some entertainment to see with these rafters passing by and even finding a place for some food and drinks? Wow, that is a serious easy random find just

Look, I love it here in Bali, I really do. It’s paradise. But there’s a massive problem no one talks about—and it’s the locals burning plastic. It’s just "normal" to them, but it’s making my

That’s it. The final cord is cut. Today, I’ve officially filed the P85 form and registered as leaving the UK for good. I am now a non-UK tax resident, and honestly? It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

Drama in Bali yestarday at the massage place. This absolute retard actually threatened to punch my teeth out just because I told his disrespectful wife to shut up. She was being out of order so I told

I’ve spent the last 24 hours in a complete state of "total disaster" mode. I was panicking, filming "I’m stuck" videos, and basically preparing to live the rest of my life in Bali because

I LOST MY PASSPORT IN BALI... (TOTAL DISASTER) I officially left the UK for good to escape the Matrix and become a digital nomad expat living abroad. But right now, the dream is turning into a nightmare.

This is the reality of the Bali rental market right now. I’m at my absolute limit because of the constant noise, and honestly, I’ll most likely be moving out of this place next week just to get some peace.

These rice fields are now more protected by law and that is a really good thing. So many stories are there that the land is sold and used to build more housing on, while everything is chopped down for

Today I’m making the long, hot trek from Ubud to the Denpasar immigration office, and honestly? It’s the one part of being an expat I absolutely despise. Everyone’s heard the horror stories about immigration

Today I try to prepare everything for my Bali visa extension, and it turns into a full‑blown nightmare. The official site keeps crashing every time I apply, the payment won’t go through, and every error

This was something else. The cream was creamy and more like sweet whipped cream and there was cinnamon on top and orange zest and a pinch of salt. And the salt and the orange...WOW, that was something

I almost came off the bike today—Ubud traffic is no joke, it’s actually dangerous out there. But that’s just part of the journey. In this episode, I’m getting into a proper routine at the boxing gym, eating

I’ve been spending some time watching the locals work—the builders and the security lads. It’s a different world compared to back home. People keep asking what it’s like living in Ubud, so I thought I’d

I’m sat in this bar in Ubud, mid-pint, listening to a band belt out English classics. A proper taste of home. The UK’s gone to the dogs—everyone’s depressed and the government's just bleeding us dry—so
