great stuff muzza, can you do more of these expats/new to bali interviews love seeing the perspectives especially the ones that humbles you like how so fortunate we are with what we have got back at home.

As a nurse of 30+ years, I find it fascinating that your friend's MS has pretty much stallled and even regressed since being in bali. Amazing! Wonderful! I think to myself, is the disease provoked by stress? Does the hot weather play a part? Who knows, but I' m certainly so thrilled for her. Thanku for showing us their lovely home and sharing all the info 😊❤😎🤗 makes me want to move over there even more. 😂

Glyphosate in Australian food

[@dazbulldog]

Not sure about glysophate and any other untested theories...sorry but with 70+yrs of medical experience we work on evidence not the internet....but I can say as a heredity condition Heather has seen a noticeable change in mobility and falls and for such an amazing kind and caring soul she deserves this new chance at life that this move has given us....we are living the next chapter of our book of life and doing our way....we have both earnt it and making the most of this chance....

Bali has a healing ability. I have a permanent disability in my hip from a car accident.. I use a stick, and I get wheelchair assistance when I do the flights back and forth to Aus. While here, I dont use my stick at all.

[@RoyilBlue-vp1ut]

She should watch dave's yt channel called No Carb Life interview with a carnivore lady that cured her MS. all she did was stop eating 99% carbs, all sugars, and all veges and fruits that contain high oxelates, she eats mostly animal based foods, seafood, full fat dairy sometimes, and meat and eggs. Weight loss is the biggest bonus but reversing dis-eases is the reality. Alcohol is also a huge contributor to dis-ease. Fasting or intermittent fasting is the key to starving cancers and health conditions. fat doesn't make you fat, sugar and carbs kill

Hi Murray, Shocked I haven’t stumbled on your great site before now.Love it. I have long been a Baliphile. I introduced my hubby to Bali last year. I wasn’t surprised when it wove its magic on him. I like you have liked to give back and have sponsored a family with food and necessities and indirectly their community for many years. The children’s education through the Bali Children Foundation. Bless you for such down to earth info. We stay at Poppies Cottages Kuta and have done so for many years.coming back 2025 on our retirement Cheers

[@carmkol]

Thanks so much Muzza and Vie for everything you do. You guys are awesome!!!! I love, love, love what you're doing on living in Bali xxx

[@rickymead5282]

Great work again mate! Me and my mrs are looking at retiring in either Bali/Indonesia or the Philippines. We are coming over in December to have a look around. We love stories like this. It really helps. Its great to hear from regular people and their different stories. Keep up the good work big fella! 😊👍🏽

Look me up when you come.over

[@elainedebeaux4675]

You are a Legend Murray for the Video's you do. Thank you, thank you for all the effort you go to-to explain Bali and its life. Brilliant..you are wonderful❤

[@jennynairn1388]

Good advice. Thank you. My fiancè (local) & I were about to sign up for renting a warung but after a short time, the owner increased the price and said it wouldn't just be one year, it would be 3 years. All of our friends were very angry, because it was a local person not being good to another local person. Seriously though, since covid, people are taking advantage. It's sad.

[@jennynairn1388]

Try drinking distilled coconut juice aka Arak, with cranberry juice. My friend has a factory. It's not the rice Arak with chemicals. Cost you $2 for 600mL and never a hangover 😂 Warung Odah, Jln Danau Tamblingan, Sindu, Sanur. Not far from the Sindu Night Markets.

True... what do we actually need. I had an incident at my house in Australia and I had to put so much stuff in the back garage. Long story. It's still there for about 3 years and I don't miss any of it. I moved into this house 16 years ago, I still have masses of unpacked boxes 😊 ha ha

I left bali for hospital after a bike incident for Western Australia, it took longer for me to be seen in emergency than it did to get back to Australia . Saved aprox 30 g but our hospitals atm are unbelievably rediculously slow after plandemic 19

Fantastic video the couple were so informative very much appreciated to all 3 of you.

[@sjj7236]

Great video, I'd also love more of this content as i think so many of your viewers are also considering a move at some point. Interesting what you said about vietnam and thailand, i agree so much of the world has increased in price so Bali is still much cheaper than Australia. Of course indonesia has gained in popularity with ex pats as has portugal, costa rice, thailand, spain, greece and the list goes on.

So $865 Australian per week to rent this place? Omg who can afford that?

People that have worked their whole life and have savings for their retirement

[@CovidConQuitTheCensorship]

@@MurrayWilkinson1 Personally I'd rather buy a place in Japan, houses go cheap there, food is cheap, beautiful countryside and clean, as opposed to Bali which is a rat infested hole. Not detracting from your quality content, you do a great job with your videos, but not a place I would choose to live. Each to their own

[@Marway11]

Great video, thanks for sharing 😊

[@glens1975]

great vid as always, only thing i would say if sick is to be persistant and get it checked ASAP, when dad went into Siloam in 2016 he did leave it too late and they didn't test for Sepsis until late day 2 and his organs had already started shutting down. All because of a gallstone. Broke my bludy heart. I was so angry at the hospital for a long time for not checking for it but at the end of the day he had pains for a week before he went to the doctor and then hospital. He would not have died over here though. They would have picked it up because they always check for sepsis. They also wrote heart attack on the death certificate which caused issues with his insurer until we threatend to sue them at which time the changed it to sepsis.

[@tonyf7997]

Bloody great vid Muzza- Am I correct that they are paying $45k for 24 months rent? MS presents different in all - we know a lady who is fully mobile and had for 35 years - now 80 years old and healthy as…. But we know a guy who went from being healthy to being not mobile and in a chair with a carer in 10 years… Love the comment on what we have in Oz and what do we really need? Love the vid mate!

I thought you couldn't actually own property in Bali..? As a foreigner that is. Do you have a "sponser" sort of arrangement.

[@MurrayWilkinson1]

We are generally discussing long term rentals not purchases. It is common here to do a 25 year lease on the land so you never own it you rent it and build a house/resort etc on it

It's more like a natural selection pricess

Hi Murray, how much would it cost to build a villa like this please in your opinion? I know the land would be a 30 year lease but just curious. Thanks mate.

Such a hard thing to answer.. a single studio apartment in a complex with a shared pool is between $50-$100k USD so work up from there and you might have some rough idea. Email me directly at [e-mail] for more direct questions

They were about $ 30k Aussie a year ago but when the Ukraine conflict got serious there was a huge number if eastern Europeans looking for nice accom and the prices shot up. Dazza is paying around $45,000 Aussie dollars for 12 months
