A Day in the Life of a Balinese Woman

[@PathfinderGregg]

Martini is so nice! She is always smiling. She and her husband are hard working people. And I loved the market. I hope you get back there and get more footage of that. Awesome!

[@WheresPoppy]

They really are! I do have more footage of it for another video :)

[@joannamejia6711]

I’m loving these new videos! It’s more of a form of journalism and informing the public of culture, as compared to cool spots. You’re videos are definitely more sophisticated and telling a story now.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Joanna! It’s not everyday you get experiences like these so I’m so excited to share them!

[@erinstravels]

Really really loving these videos! I feel like I’m learning and experiencing something new.

[@WheresPoppy]

I’m glad :)

[@andrewhusein7221]

Oh my ghosh.. This is truly an amazing video! Very well documented, narrated and edited. You definitely have an amazing talent in telling stories and will do well in the near future. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us. It's amazing what they have to go through on a daily basis. That's a lot of hard work and they do it with a smile everyday. I'd pass out when 7 o'clock comes already! :) It makes you appreciate life and what you have.. Great job and thanks for sharing it with us again.. I can't wait to see your next video!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you so much Andrew! Their lives are amazing so I wanted to document it. It’s funny because I always see them watching my videos haha and laughing at themselves being on camera

[@Shaboh1060]

As a regular Bali traveller I am really loving your Bali videos. When we go we stay at Sanur. Your interaction with the locals is great to watch. I was also in spires by your China videos so much I am going for the 3rd time in November. Please Poppy more videos like this. They are unique and informative

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you so much! Haha I’ll do my best to keep the videos like this, it’s not everyday you find a family like this

[@lchen28]

Great work poppy! Thanks for showing us the daily life and the rich culture of Balinese. It is really interesting.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks for watching :)

[@riverbendtube]

[@randallmurrain1425]

Once again, another immersive video. I'm really enjoying learning something new with these.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Randall! Yeah I’m really excited about these videos!

[@calicojunctionisclosed]

Nothing better then getting up before sunrise and sitting on the beach and watching the sun come up then taking a morning dip or snorkel. So peaceful so fresh. Sleeping late you miss so much of the island beauty and what the world has to offer for peace and tranquility.

[@davidj6547]

I am absolutely loving it...seeing the true locals at real time hours...not like the rest of the world, sleeping but seeing what they do to start their day...great vid Poppy... I'm becoming a true fan 🙂👍👌

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you! Yeah it’s crazy their daily lives I don’t know how they have this kind of stamina haha

[@kyliejoyce1610]

As a huge lover of all things Balinese I thoroughly thought your vlog was amazing. One of the best I’ve seen because it was authentic. I loved it. Thanks for taking me back there again 🌴💙🌴

[@pathfinder54321]

This is such an amazing video and I absolutely love it. Martini is super nice and hardworking and I love to see you doing things together. The markets, the funeral, the daily routine of the local people , these are all fascinating stuff for the outsiders like me. Thank you for the great video, Poppy.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks pathfinder! Well we are always doing stuff together so there will be more videos of it haha. Yeah I agree, it’s so interesting that’s why I wanted to document it

[@bodytechnician8507]

amazing!! love this video. I was only looking for Balinese food ideas to have in central London next weekend. Really love how much you have embraced the day and honoured the traditions. I'm now your fan!!

[@RespectOthers1]

Once again credit to you for beautifully documenting a typical day of a hardworking family and how the locals gel together to form a community. Your tireness and lack of sleep were worth it! :D

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha thanks RespectOthers! Yeah it was very hard to keep up but I’m glad I did it, it’s an experience I’ll have forever and documented

[@georgemoreno6793]

That’s some serious dedication Poppy...living with an indigenous family, waking up at fucking 4 in the morning and, ugh. I can’t get past the 4am part. But hey, just keep being you Poppy!

[@WheresPoppy]

I’m just thankful it wasn’t 3 am like they usually do ha

[@georgemoreno6793]

Where's Poppy just keep being you Poppy! My girls and I enjoy your vlogs. Funny thing is we started watching these travel vlogs with your friend Jordan but kept coming back to watch yours. One of our personal favorites is the haunted apartment building. Cheers Poppy and keep up the spunk!

[@ekosuryawinataesw]

I really love ur video, how u blended with local is lovely fun

[@abeno2455]

Loving these day in the life videos! A breath of fresh air and new perspective on traveling.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Abeno! Me too!

[@zindaruud415]

I'm an Indonesian and I lived in Bali for 15 years (since 2002-2017). Now I lived in Surabaya, East Java. I'm so happy to watch your documentary video about Balinese people's life. Balinese women are really strong and a true hard-worker. That's the reality. Thank you for making them shining brightly in your video. I appreciate it a lot, Poppy. Great job. 👏

[@acamar704]

Absolutely incredible stuff, Poppy. A beautiful tribute to your lovely, hard working hosts, and their amazing lifestyle and culture.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you! Yeah I’m so happy to have found this family!

[@acamar704]

Me too, speaking for all of your followers. Now get a bit of sleep!

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha okay I will

[@bogey5155]

Hard working, humble, and humorous. What an inspiration Martini is. Thanks for revealing her to us.

[@cainotheconcernedcitizen5196]

Hey you! Excellent content! Thank you for showing us the behind the scenes effort that makes the world go round! Not too shocked to learn it takes longer to make the food than to eat it, even on the other side of the world! 😂 Again, thanks for sharing!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks for watching :)

[@fionamelgaard]

lived with Martini and Rai for 4 months from december to april!! say hello from me!!!! miss them so much

[@aldenrmachado]

[@WheresPoppy]

And her laugh, it’s so contagious haha

[@wg9830]

her smile makes me smile too

[@thomassilas9]

Hi Poppy ... greeting from Surabaya, Indonesia. I love this footage so much because it shows something different from what people used to see from Bali or may be not so many people has experienced it. The generousity & friendly Balinese that makes me and my family love Bali ever since. I wonder, if you ever experience Nyepi in Bali ... Terima kasih for the lovely footage 👍🏼

[@lesrankin1767]

Beautiful video, Poppy! So respectful, subtle and discrete. You really get it.

[@SR-mk7dz]

Wow what an eye opener on so many levels. This could have been a public broadcast show. Thank you for sharing!

[@WheresPoppy]

haha thanks Susan!

[@myfairyjinani1602]

Those lady are so friendly,,I love her when she is smiling,,❤️❤️

[@WheresPoppy]

[@kirkstone4394]

You are awesome!!! You honor the people around you so gloriously. Such beautiful people that you live with in Bali. Blessing to you.

[@JohnOCFII]

Poppy - that was fantastic! Talk about not just being a tourist. Amazing way to get to see another culture. Thanks for sharing.

[@jamesdaniel9213]

What a wonderful mini-documentary :-) Thanks for making it - really lovely to watch. Keep up the great work!!

[@TheBroncosism]

Thanks for posting this video. I was born in Indonesia, living in CO. We visit SE Asia twice a year for weeks at a time and have not experienced it like you guys. It’s interesting to see it from a true American’s perspective. Have fun and bless you!

[@WheresPoppy]

SKO BUFFS haha...thanks ChunkyMonkey!

[@horizon241]

It was great to get an insight in a life and culture that is different from my own, thank you for making and sharing this. I hope this encourages more people, especially young people, to travel and experience perspectives from people and places around the world.

[@WheresPoppy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah more people should experience this, it was life changing

[@adams651]

4 AM is not quite 'freakishly' early but can certainly feel that way. One of the most interesting videos you've done. The bargaining from bike and just seeing how much work goes into simple street food with the farmers having to gather their food to the market at the same time other food is being cooked and repeat trips to the markets for new ingredients. I hope Martini and her family can appreciate the people seeing some of Balinese life via these vlogs, say thanks to them for putting up with all cameras!

[@FrenchTanTricMasseur]

Enjoyed it very much. So great to be able to discover how the life of a typical balinese woman look like!

[@chitimalli]

Great video Poppy. Keep this kind of great content coming. Awesome!!

[@WheresPoppy]

Amar Chitimalli Thanks Amar I will!

[@FatalAnimal]

Love this kind of content Poppy - this is the reason I watch your channel. More please =)

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha thank you!

[@oudabaxter1280]

I think this is my favorite video you’ve ever made so far! I learned so much and I loved how much Martini was in it and able to see her perspective. So wonderful that they’ve kind of adopted you and Evan. This one feels more like a travel show. Maybe the next step?

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha thanks Ouda! I’m actually thinking about a show, it would be so cool if I could make that happen and just live with different family’s around the world and sharing my experience. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Elmarr90]

your videos are everything ! they're therapeutic for me.

[@WheresPoppy]

haha I'm glad

[@kc8793]

I can watch this for hours, so genuine and funny vlog, Martini is so energic, her laugh is so brilliant.😆

[@WheresPoppy]

[@beccacasebolt1040]

this is so interesting! Thank you for making videos like this. THIS is what i personally want to see in travel videos.

[@NyamNyamNyam]

This is typical Balinese day, so cool

[@WheresPoppy]

Yeah, I know it’s fascinating

[@badspasm1]

Seems like you guys went to the right place. Your place looks amazing and your landloards seem like awesome people.

[@taewiao]

hard working people like that put everyone here to shame.

[@abchappell01]

What an awesome documentary! Your presentation of a typical day in the life of this Balinese family is absolutely wonderful :)

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Anthony!

[@gdebimanandamahardikawisna2172]

Hi Poppy! your video is amazing. I am from Singaraja, Bali and I grew up there. This is truly what local people mostly do for their living and also during holy days like Galungan, Kuningan or other events like birth, death and many more. I have been one year in US studying in UCSD and your video makes me really miss my home. Great video!

[@WheresPoppy]

Aw thank you so much!

[@erickn4515]

Absolutely Amazing Poppy! Keep the great work up!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Erick!

[@ankanhalder8341]

Oh Poppy. Wonderful video - observing real daily life. So calm, naturally paced, didn't know how 17 minutes passed- felt like I was there. Looks like she's hard working. And you are a talent.

[@WheresPoppy]

Ankan Halder Thanks Ankan! I was worried the video was a bit long but the day was long for me haha so now you guys know how I felt

[@manuscorner35]

Omggggg I love this women so much, Martini is a very hardworking person but she seems so happy, I love her smile, RESPECT.

[@samuelwyner6935]

Amazing! Makes me want to visit Bali.

[@WheresPoppy]

You should!

[@abc123fhdi]

Sweet video, looks yummy. And a wonderful way to learn about new cultures and their view on life.

[@WheresPoppy]

123abc Thank you!

[@carlashane6696]

Wow! This content is amazing, Poppy. It's like a documentary and you were able to explain it very well. You have such great talent in story telling and great people skill. Your personality still shines through even if the focus of the content is showing someone elses life in a day. Martini and her family are who I actually consider rich. They stayed authetic and traditional. Humble, hardworking entrepreneurs. PS. Just discovered your channel so I'm definitely late from this but you made me feel like it's in the present.

[@crazylovesuroboyo4862]

It's one of a kind vlog about Bali. Great video and love it. Thanks Poppy

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Hari!

[@AmandaGreenman]

Incredibly interesting video. Thank you for all of your effort... this is so interesting and so above and beyond the quality of an average travel video.

[@qsv88]

Great job documenting their culture

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks George!

[@mustafabaris9681]

So happy to see that you are going way past the typical Bali traveler life into a much immersive life with the locals and bringing all those lovely , priceless experiences into the world for us not just to enjoy what you have to share but also to learn more about the lives of the locals which most tourists don’t get to experience..Here I am , at my local Starbucks in Ankara , Turkey and watching this .. Love it ..! 😍😍

[@WheresPoppy]

Awesome I’m so glad you appreciate this type of content too! I’m just not interested in the other stuff, tours and waterfalls etc. Not when I have this amazing family with me, hard to leave haha

[@katcarvajal7286]

This is awesome! Keep doing videos like this

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Kat!

[@alialisonyt]

Glad you enjoyed it Raymond

[@michaelamaestas4950]

[@WheresPoppy]

Thank you! Yeah that’s why I want to enjoy every moment of it. It’s going to be hard to leave one day haha

[@TravelwithTommy]

Wow beautiful. Just beautiful video Poppy. Love watching your video where you spent your time with your host family starting from the kitchen, market and also the funeral home. This kind of exciting video is rare. Thank you for producing and sharing your video.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks for watching! Glad it was entertaining! I just think what they do is so interesting I wanted to share it!

[@sarinfserg4965]

WOW !! Poppy you outdid yourself.... very interesting couture is awesome to see the respect they have for their family unlike here !! Very sad for us. Thank you for sharing looking forward to your next video ciao bellissima

[@WheresPoppy]

Sarinf Serg Thanks Sarinf! Yeah I’m glad I got to make this video :)

[@oggystig]

So nice to see Bali as it is, no villas or infinity pools in this one. The majority of content on youtube is such a distortion of how the place is. Great work.

[@samdicating370]

Wow! What a cultural experience, Thank you Poppy!

[@WheresPoppy]

Glad you enjoyed it:)

[@gvsd2839]

Thank for share All about my island BALI🙏🌅

[@acajudi100]

I was there for 2 months, and loved it.

[@jeetendreasukhram118]

I love the experience you are having.

[@sulimanhertani1206]

Very interesting video wich you went in depth in the day to day life, I feel I have been educated, thank you 😀

[@WheresPoppy]

Haha awesome!

[@kalpanabhatia7932]

Thank u for showing balinese life

[@DeeAprilia]

It’s amazing that they’re quiet good in speaking english

[@WheresPoppy]

Yeah most people in Bali speak English

[@HarrietShearsmith]

Oh I loved this video, fab look into your day!

[@benec5816]

Well done these new products of yours are so informative down to earth excellent filming and editing showing everyone what the real Bali is and it casts a new picture on what at least we think about Bali. We are so glad that you are with these people as with your great experience in the social media you are speeding the news about the real Bali which is a must to get out there. Stay safe and it's no good saying enjoy yourselves because it is plain to see you are. You look fabulous in the Bali dresses they suit you see ya

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Bene! Yeah I’m really proud of my recent videos because they are so in depth in culture and people. It’s not everyday you get an opportunity like this so I want to take advantage!

[@benec5816]

Where's Poppy well keep it up I think that in years come you will look back at these as your new start stay safe

[@AdventuresofGonzo]

Awesome video. I love this interaction with the locals.. I wish I had that experience when I was young. Looks like they love you guys,, God bless.

[@WheresPoppy]

Next time stay in a homestay and I’m sure it will happen

[@andrewwijaya2483]

Love your contect. Been watching all ur videos since you arrived in Bali. Me myself an Indonesian don’t really know any of what you have been experiencing. Good job Poppy, just keep in mind Indonesia is a very big vountry and make sure you pay a visit to the neighbouring islands!

[@WheresPoppy]

andrew wijaya Thanks Andrew! Yes I know, it’s just hard to leave this family haha I love just hanging out with them around the house. We tend to have dancing cooking nights a lot haha

[@andrewwijaya2483]

Where's Poppy yes! We love people get to know our doings and I thank you for doing what you are doing! Your perspective of Bali is missing out here in KZbin. I hope you can do the same thing in the other island! We all tend to smile and you don’t want to miss it! :) enjoy Bali! NB: many of travellers have their diarrhea just by trying to eat like locals (by hand), make sure you always bring hand sanitizer ! Hehehehe 😁

[@InvestingHustler]

Just found your channel new subscriber here love your content 😱

[@WheresPoppy]

Yay welcome new subscriber!

[@bungjon4866]

Tq for ur kindness for our tradition, proud of U

[@barryfinlayson8284]

Such an interesting vlog poppy, thank you :)

[@kiwijohn9250]

Great vlog. Thanks for sharing

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Kiwi

[@barneygoogle2720]

Looks like the life of a family in the food preparation business is the same all over the world. My Cambodian friends here in the U.S. have a donut shop and the impossibly long hours and endless toil of cooking are the same for them. But working side by side makes for a close knit family and 1st generation Asians are so stoic, they seem to be able to take life's challenges in their stride with a smile, no matter how difficult.

[@WheresPoppy]

Yeah I’m sure it’s similar but a little different. For me it was very different since I’ve never participated in something like this

[@yoyoyoyo7813]

Love it so much, makes me feel like living back in Indonesia and following my grandma to the market early in the morning!! awesome experience

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Johan! Yeah I was blown away

[@ruebze]

Even as Indonesian myself, I really enjoyed this video. There are things that I didn't even know and see it first here.. so thank you for the wonderful video. So fascinating!

[@omni3670]

Another truly interesting and informative upload! Love how you are fast becoming part of the Balinese life hahaha...... Some of the breakfast food look familiar to us here in Malaysia. The tau foo, multi-coloured multilayered cakes et al. You guys are lucky!

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Om Ni! Haha I know I’m being Balinese

[@debbieorangeyouasweet1302]

Poppy I truly believe this is your niche, the day and life. It’s amazing how hard the work can be, how life is so different than in America. It’s very important for those who visit know how to be respectful. This experience also will be a lifelong learning for yourself learning to make foods and extending hospitality towards locals. Keep it up I feel this is something lacking from other traveling expats.

[@WheresPoppy]

Thanks Debbie! Yeah I mean this is what I like about travel, meeting people and learning about different cultures. Seeing beautiful beaches, waterfalls, nature etc is great but it’s everywhere. Meeting people and experiencing things with locals is more interesting to me

[@tomassoejakto]

The bright blue kebaya suits you very well 😇. This is my first time seeing your video & i am thoroughly entertained and educated. I'm indonesian and i dont even know this stuff about balinese people, so thanks!

[@bundacesachanel4307]

Woow that,s true... i am balinese women. Balinese woman are a lot of activity, household , social or we can call "menyame braya" n support family... thanks so much poppy..

[@ivank5520]

Really enjoyed watching this video

[@hanitirtandy1593]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, with your efforts to explore more deep about one of the beautiful culture of our society in Indonesia, hopefully you have the opportunity to explore more about another cultural nation in Indonesia. Because we have 32 provinces and inhabited approximately 200 tribes with various cultures and traditions. Appriciate that a lot! My greetings from Indonesia.

[@craftsmanami]

Great video. Thank you!
