I think she was trying to say "thatched huts"

Dentists and veterinarians should he jailed for ripping people off.

Thank you for your video. I watched your video with your mom. I'm your mom's age and retired at 78 from being a traveling social worker working in mental health with people in crisis. I loved my work. After I retired I traveled around the states for two years in an rv. I have become a minimalist and live in an rv park high in the mountains in New Mexico. While in college in my 40's and 50's I lived in Alaska for 16 years, 12 of those on a boat I bought. Now my world has shrunk and I'm faced with boredom. However, I have been at peace on my mountain. I have no debt and live comfortably off my social security. Stress has returned slowly due to our new politics so I am considering a possible relocation. I'm exploring different videos and am open to new cultures. I would appreciate learning what part of Bali you and your mom live in and if you really like the area. I will look for your upcoming videos, hopefully with your mom as partner. Thank you. Tam

I thinking do the same 😊

Glad she took your cart. I could never make my mom carry something like that if I was empty handed

Wow.. very nice resort!

What a beautiful location!

Beautiful! Enjoy your retirement in Bali😍

Listen at 1.2x

very nice. im going to renew my passport and come look around. i really want to retire.

one of my uncles is moving to bali soon. i never been. but im thinking about it. i m not sure how it would work but as i have a lot sewing machines. so i might have to give that up. can you buy a house or only rent

I go to Bali every year for a few weeks. Love it there. Where in Bali are you living? Some areas are less expensive and more conducive to walking.

WOW.. I LOVE YOUR PLACE. I'm looking for something like that, but in walking distance of shops. What bit of help you can give making my transition smooth would be appreciated.Thanks. Oh..Happy New Year

Does one require an accommodation VISA?

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Canada has the same hot mess of expensive living. Dental, private living arrangement, funds to pay car loan and repairs, are no longer possible. The govt here is stealing retirement funds. Thanks for an option to consider.

Great video. Love your sound track. Can you share what it is?

What is your email? I would like to connect.

Get well soon ibu Linda. I have so much respect for you two to make a bold move across the world and overcame all the hurdles. I am the opposite of you both USA is my adopted home for the last 35 years- not sure if it’s a great thing nowadays though. But for sure i envy you both 😆. Take care.

Thank you girls for sharing videos I enjoyed it very much, may be for future topics, it would be intresting and helpful to know more items such as how to rent how to apply for visas , cost of living sounds very intresting, may be I should go for a holiday and try it for myself thank you looking forward for more insights x

Thanks to Trump there will be no more social security tax! Finally!

Congratulations! Being happy is all that really matters and you getting out of the rat race is a huge improvement. You are a lovely woman! Smart move.

I would love to see a video on the cost of your renovations and how long it took you to complete each phase ... i love your sense of style.... and i love all your videos ... great job keep it coming ... i am falling in love with Bali ... im 55 to ... and am starting to look at where ill be in the next 5 - 10 years ... Bali would be a dream come true!

What's like grocery store and restaurants? Thank you very much.

We’re looking to retire in SE Asia and visiting for 43 days starting March. Vietnam and then likely Bali. Thailand was preferred on this trip but field burning cancelled that. Question I have is about Bali belly. Are you aware of this re street food and water. Have heard it’s worse in Bali than other places in the region. ?

Well I am still under visitors term. But I am working on my Kitas. Tomorrow is my first day taking Balinese dancing class that I am very excited about it. Funny about traffic, just had today transfer from canggu to Ubud we have to wait 1 hour on road because there was a ceremony in Badung.

❤❤❤

I was laid off too at my age 47. Your story is inspiry me Thank you 🥰

Beautiful Villa. Congrats

I’m so glad I’ve found your channel, the vlogs are so informative. I’ve been to Bali a few times and love it. I would love to retire there!

Thanks Debbie great video so you have to leave every year for a few days ? How much is the yearly visa ? You are lucky to have your mum & a friend out in Bail, if you don't know anyone how do you get out in the community & meet like wise people out there ? I'm very sociable here in WA Perth just wonder how i would meet others. Do they have yoga 🧘‍♂️ mornings or walking groups, dinner groups for people who retire in Bail ? 😊

This brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing ❤

❤🙏🏼Debbie. Hope yr Mum gets well soon. I drink fresh lemon juice, ginger, 1/2 cinnamon stick & honey. Pour over hot water & let stand until cooler. Can highly recommend whenna cold starts. 💞💞

What a gorgeous home. I can't believe the owner paid for all of your renovations and then added that to the rent. That's fantastic. Can you stay longer if you want to?

Horrible place overpopulation, overprice in 2025 , many years we came there but finally decided to not go again , for yearly rent small house in village canggu we bought own house with large land in Europe, we met many Ukrainian who have 10 own houses in Europe they said even can buy own house start from 2k€ , or this year will start government program where they pay you 50k€ for stay only , amazing combination have vacation in many own houses in different locations in Europe and same time build asset for future

Well said and articulate❤

Love your videos and lifestyle. Thanks for sharing your wonderful advice.

I was there in the 70s so am a little shocked at all the plastic. Everything was natural on this little island. I noticed your vegetables were wrapped in banana leaves or something similar, but the grocery store has left me stunned. And sad. It’s amazing the locals have remained sweet and humble, although now they are wearing the global uniform: jeans and t-shirts. They used to be unique in the world.

Hello from CA & many thanks 4 the great video! Remembering the days of visas with & without boyfriend, staying in Chinatown in Singapore & eating delicious seafood. What is your writer's name? Lots to do in Bali. Really surprised about the volunteering, even teaching or practicing English? Hang in there. Take care.

Thanks for sharing! I’m considering relocating to Bali.. what city are you in and is that a good one?

Absolutely Brilliant 👏🏽 👌🏼

Hello Deb. Thank you for this video it's very informative as to what to expect. I am in the 2.5 stage and I think what is holding me back is that I worry about meeting people and being included in a community. I am single and a senior. I think I have to make a plan to get rid of all of the stuff I have collected and that isn't going to be easy!! Get well soon Linda. I'm down with a bug too!!!

hi from australia i stayed in a lovely villa in seminyak and only a 6 hour flight

Thank you

I just discovered your channel and am loving it so far. The content of this video resonated with me, but I'd also like to offer a caveat. While there is a lot to be said for shaking things up by moving, etc., (and heaven knows I've done that enough myself), I would advise people to think long and hard on their reasons for wanting a life change. Sometimes, one can take their problems along for the ride, and after the newness and excitement of a move wears off, they find themselves right back where they started in terms of feeling disssatisfied. "Wherever you go, there you are," is a painfully true cliche. So, I'd caution folks against thinking that a change of scenery will solve all your problems. It may truly shake things up enough so that you get a new lease on life, but it's not a panacea for all that ails you. Moving can also be expensive and doing it repeatedly can put a real dent in one's budget. (I've learned that from experience.) My husband and I went from the US to Ecuador, and then to Bulgaria when Ecuador didn't work out for us. Having said all that, there are way too many people out there that lead lives of "quiet desperation" because they are too afraid or lethargic to make a move. You two are an inspiration in that regard and I bet you've motivated many people to get up off the couch and take action. 👍

I've lived in Mexico, Ecuador and now Bulgaria, and these truths are spot on. Nicely done.

Great video, one of the things that hit me the hardest when I moved to Bali was not being able to jump in the car and drive anywhere by myself. I had to rely on my husband to take me everywhere on the scooter because I felt nervous to drive the scooter by myself. I did step up in the end and learn to ride the scooter, but I always felt a bit scared!! Go jek and Grab are great, but it's better to have your own set of wheels!!

Thank you lovely video again. ❤
