What I've learned living in Bali for 5 months | VLOG 725

[@FarzadMediaINC]

Money doesn't equal happiness, but it absolutely is a tool towards the realization of what makes you happy. Money allowed you to travel to Bali to discover this.

[@Andreyabish]

Paradox

[@it1333]

LOL 😂 I was going to say this

[@freda2758]

Fair enough.

[@publicdefense9589]

The point is he has met people in Bali that don't have money to travel, and THEY are happy.

[@XPurplepinappXlolX]

Haha truth

[@dennisdehaas526]

In western society we are materialistic rich but spiritually poor. In indonesia they are materialistic poor but spiritually rich. I am half indonesian half dutch. When i went to Indonesia for the first time I cried because I felt like i came home and was surrounded by people just like me🥰

[@Swnsasy]

That's what I want.. This is why as also a POC, I'm trying to speak with my husband about moving here because the stresses we have here in the US, that's what we are so use too! We just cannot fathom any other way so we get scared of such a huge change.. Once we do it, then we are like, WHY WAS I SO SCARED!!? Why didn't I do this earlier?! I'm not scared of change because I have faith.. This is why their life expectancy has 22yrs on ours here of 64!! That's why they always greet and smile!! Crime is SO SO SO much less and neighbors help neighbors.. I want so much to move to Bali it's just getting my husband to see that this change will take away the ENORMOUS stress he constantly Iives with daily and cannot truly be happy...

[@torineko0326]

Amen well put !!

What you are tasting is FREEDOM...freedom from materialistic trappings...freedom from limited thoughts...pure freedom.

@Heartthrob Goswamy it’s a plus

[@Davidoff5185]

nah, it's just a cheap standard of living. Those people working the cheap food markets will tell a different story about money.

[@You1uji]

@Heartthrob Goswamy Relax buddy. I have spent years living in Asia and been to many of the places you call “obscure.” I’m not romanticizing the situation. Just explaining what I’ve seen happen to people who leave the confines of their typical rat race existence, generally experienced in a developed country.

[@You1uji]

@@Davidoff5185 That maybe a bit of over generalization akin to his over romanticized view of Bali. The truth may well be somewhere in between. However, since he has stepped out of the confines of the material-rat-race based mindset, which is the predominant lifestyle in most developed countries, he appears to be noticing life does not have to be lived that way.

Elon maybe apart from the dead culture in US right? I guess that would be a bit of a reason no?

[@jasonmck7323]

@Elon Musk not saying it’s not massive with amazing places to visit , and that wasn’t the subject at all you completely missed it , and took it way to personal , it’s a known fact that most (not all) Americans don’t even have a passport . And it’s that very beauty that holds them in the country ,which can be unhealthy and place them in a false sense of security , my point here was the guy on this channel was buzzing with the culture of the place where he visited , America can be very fake at times , and that’s what he means by people GENUINELY saying “have a nice day” and meaning it . Not only that but it’s a big world out there so however much beauty the USA beholds it’s nothing on the rest of our amazing world . Also if you notice I say it’s a cool and positive vibe that he gives off, nothing uneducated about any of it, or negative , however Mr Musk I have to say as a fan of Tesla, I’m very disappointed with your negative and quite insulting way of replying, we may all know you, however you don’t know me , so please keep your unjustified accusations to yourself . In the meantime I wish you safe and exciting adventures (outside and within the USA) .. Good luck .

[@jasonmck7323]

@@personwho4742 For someone who begins with “Yeah cause “ not exactly educated English my friend . However got to say I’m happy to reply to Mr Tesla your doing a great job (world changing ) 💪🏾 you and your family stay safe in these uncertain times . Now get some more charging stations installed in Morocco we are waiting . 🙏🏼 inshallah, (just lose the power trip attitude let’s you down )

[@jasonmck7323]

Furthermore just for clarity , if people don’t travel out of their own country , they miss different cultures , different mind set and a different way of life , and that is un educational . Sad but true . Like Luke said it’s not about money it’s about freedom and happiness , USA is expensive as is the Uk, people in America are living in vans in car parks or in tents on the streets , some of them to live in a van costing them still over $900 a month , my house is quite large with a pool and including my phone and internet is less than £100 a month. And this can be the same in Asia , which again is a point of this whole conversation , There are other options , travel is the key . The people living in cars and vans are trapped as they don’t know any different, most have online businesses and could live in other places in other far away lands , in an actual house . America is an amazing country Elon is correct on his description , but like every where else it has its issues . We only live once , so American citizens , Get out there and see the world , and let the world see you .

Watching you share your experience put a huge smile on my face cus that's exactly how I felt. Can't wait to go back!

[@chrish.7965]

It’s true that Indonesian people have a positive vibe and there are certain things people can learn from their lifestyle. But being a westerner who’s on a long vacation in Indonesia is very different from being a local. Nevertheless I’m wishing you a good time at Bali.

[@abdonox123]

Very true statement! How do local feel about their city! I'm curious because it's true that tourist are often not fully aware of the crime/scam or and other bad side of a country their visiting

[@faowi]

@@abdonox123 As an Indonesian living in the city, specifically Jakarta, people are always ready to smile and help, like everytime I saw a car/scooter crash I always see people helping and making tea for the victim - but there are also a large amount of bad people that do crime. And often times they do it because they don't have any job to get money. Or theres also a group of bad people that just wants to fight against other groups, basically gangs, the bad side of Jakarta can be seen in the youtube channel '86' or 'Raimas Backbone'. They're the police and they have fun while doing their job too sometimes. Overall Indonesia is a positive place but there are the bad sides of it

[@bad_uncle]

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching. This kid has only been there a few months. I wish him a nice vacation, but let’s hope nothing goes wrong. If something unfortunate does happen, he will miss the western standards (like the restaurant health codes he mentioned). There is a price to pay for the “ paradise” he thinks he has found. He’s in the honeymoon stage. I’m glad he’s enjoying it, but he mustn’t mistake it for really living in a developing country.

[@gunsts]

I was visiting America for a month last year (before the pandemic), and I enjoyed my visit there. I drove like 2500 kilometers (or 1600 miles?) from LA to the Antelope, Bryce Canyon, Yosemite, SFO, Big Sur. I was so amazed by the landscape of America. All of that, I enjoyed all of that with a mindset of a tourist. Then, I realized, that it's so hard to work in America. I didn't say that it's easy to get money in Indonesia too, but definitely, we have a slower pace in Indonesia. And, that maybe make us happier than those people who live in Hong Kong for example. But, then again, life is also difficult here for some people, but to compare it with people in those advanced countries, we are definitely more relaxed.

[@kayleewanamaker904]

Just found this video and it moved me to tears. The way you spoke about the power of words and energy really resonated with me. Western culture seems to be hurting ourselves spiritually, mentally, and physically. I often dream of the lifestyle you spoke about and I see how Bali emulates that. I haven’t been there, but I know how warm it must feel to be able to exist with so little and realize all of the peace and calmness that is just there. I think it’s so hard for Western culture to experience that contempt because it’s nonexistent. It’s not the place to make a better life for oneself, it’s a place that breeds an energy to never make you happy with what you have. The mindsets we have and the words we speak to ourselves and one another shows nothing but a lack of love. We lack love for a culture that never really came from love. Maybe that’s why it feels so impossible to be happy here. I live in the US, and I dream of so much. Bali is real, and I know one day I can move there, however there’s a part of me that hopes to change the current narrative of Western culture. It might prove impossible, but people need love. Saved even. But how do you save a group of people that doesn’t seem to want to be saved? Do you get them to understand that their current distress is by their own doing? Reveal that they live in a country and work for corporations that don’t serve them? I know I’m not the only one here bothered. I also know how addicting this lifestyle is, but you can’t have your cake and eat it too I guess. For now, I will find out if I can. If not, I hope I am welcomed by Bali natives because happiness and love is the most important thing in the world. ❤️

The friendliness and vibe is no another level. By day 8 I was so relaxed that my head became completely empty and I felt as though I was walking around on clouds. It was a strange feeling and difficult to describe but was like being in a state of euphoria all day every day. EVERYONE greeted me with love in their hearts, even the street dogs.

Ah yeah they all are just so used to be wild and free that they usually dont bother people except usually lat at night when they are in packs in the street

[@ariefeffendi6951]

Even dogs chill in bali😁

[@KastenBuleleng]

Chilled people...chilled dogs...aggressive people...aggressive dogs...its easy

[@BearingMySeoul]

I noticed that everywhere in Asia! Stray dogs in the US are aggressive too. *smh*

[@jenniferjames8876]

I love the Bali dog . I feed them and give them water .

[@andryzalnazir2356]

Nice to hear and see foreigners happy living in Bali. Respect to local and its culture make every body live there happier.. I am sure you all do it....

[@jeffreymcdaniels216itstheworld]

Good points made there at the beginning of the video , I went to Indonesia a couple years ago and I also noticed that about Asian culture that many people are just grateful for everything they have and in general they are just more chill and take to enjoy all the small things that live has to offer. Looking forward to getting back to Indonesia in the near future.

[@movemunch8619]

I love what you said, It's not about is it right or wrong, but it either works or doesn't work. Such a good way to look at it. Thank you, I really enjoyed this video!

[@agustsetiawan3867]

Indonesia is just not only Bali...guys please explore Indonesia more and you will be amazed

[@daryl906]

You explained bali how i tell everyone, i've been all over the world and it's really just somewhere that makes me the happiest. Thank you

[@PrincessofNusa]

That's what makes Bali different... The people, the culture, the nature !

[@InternetGirl1093]

All of this is so good. We can all do with more appreciation for what’s around us, including nature, our fellow neighbors and simple delights. Thanks for making this video!

[@raewynwise997]

Really enjoyed your. Idea. You are so very right. Energy affects everything, and those ‘words’ can change your world. I am waiting for the borders to open as I have secured land in Lombok. I look forward to the move and setting up business . Especially looking forward to a relaxed lifestyle!

[@indvsngr]

Living in NYC and always being on the go and never experiencing life fully and watching this makes me want to move to Bali and having xmas in a cup all day every day. Thank you for this...this made my sunday sweet :)

[@kokoalaska9888]

I just graduated from nursing school and I’m saving my money to go to Bali, scope it out and move. I want your life!

[@TheGoodLifeStarterPack]

A different observation: is it that the ability to provide more comfort in your life (due to the exchange rate) is why you are able to enjoy life more? The ability to buy comforts - low-cost housing (as compared to spending $1,000+/month for an apartment), cost of groceries, housekeeping services, coconut lady, massage services, etc. - all frees up your time to focus you self-care and what brings you joy. Just a thought. Regardless, I definitely plan on spending a month in Bali next year!

[@massayundarii3624]

aww you’re such a positive person!! I’m glad you are happy here in Indonesia and i wish Bali always treat you with kindness☺️🙏🏻

[@asistathatcares4702]

Bali, one of the most beautiful places in the world. Everyday an offering is left everywhere for the night spirits that are eaten by the dogs to prevent those spirits from harming people in the day time. The only place I've ever visit where I never heard anyone complain about anything. The artwork & incredible Ikat design fabrics where the threads are dyed & the design appears when the threads are woven. Ubud was my favorite place to visit. Thanks for sharing.

[@destadistrict]

Your energy is amazing brotha! You truly do see the important things in life and you can tell that it isn't just for the camera either. Look forward to more content! Keep killing it

[@iskandarprakoso4231]

Thanks for the positivity 🙏🏻

[@aldrichsusanto]

Bali identical with Hinduism. In hindu teaching, happiness comes from one's within, not from outside world. Balinese also treat other (incl. Animal and tree) with love, coz they believe in equality for every being.

[@azwanfairuziyahya3433]

Why then you dont feel the same in new delhi, bombay??...its not hinduism, its the people itselves, the south east asian culture particularly the malay people.

[@gamenos3815]

@@azwanfairuziyahya3433 he never gone to india bro😁 all he know about hinduism is only about bali, so petty🤣. Even he said "...they believe in equality..." it's foolish, he doesn't even know about caste 🤦🤣

[@reagentbali1973]

I'm hindu and he's correct.. thats why religion and culture must stuck together.. in bali religion is a balinesse way to respect everything. (Human,animal,trees) That makes the character of balinesse.. In india to many hindus sect living there, if u not too understan about it,i understan.. bcause u not part of it..

[@ethantuhua1203]

Brother is speaking some truth. Thanks for this video man, I’m missing Bali so much over lockdown, was so nostalgic reliving my time there through your video. Your energy definitely belongs hot here. Thanks again man.

[@hereiknowmyself-jeaniealks377]

I love everything about this video! Your energy, the way you see the energy around you! I totally agree about the verbiage on being “stuck” in a country. I follow a lot of digital nomads and I’ve given some that feedback but they’ve come back saying they are “stuck”... so I watch videos of them on the deserted beaches of the world saying they are stuck... well ok, that’s your story. Your description and this video is Pure magic! Glad KZbin suggested you! New subscriber here!

[@LukeLifeCharms]

Oh thank you so much for these words!! And thank you for support!! So glad to have you here!! :)

[@jjmarie2002]

I can see and feel your happiness radiate through the screen! I love it. I love seeing a young black man be so happy and living his dream and overall amazing life! Im living for this I cant wait until Im in bali living my dream

[@LukeLifeCharms]

Ah yess 100% it is part of my heart and should and Cait wait to get back, and cant wait for you to get over there as well! And if you would like to help speed up the process just send me and email or IG message!

[@yogiistadi7702]

Dude, welcome to bali n good to know that your happy living in Bali, stay for good, it would be awesome to have people like you living in Indonesia

[@SAVANNAHEVENTS]

Beautiful, Brother. Im grateful for you and your Mission. And look if I wanted a travel vlog of you visiting the incredibly beautiful places around Bali then that's what I would be looking for. I can find those. But it's all in your title: what I've learned in Bali. After you got your coffee you could have gone over to one of those dump piles and did the rest of the video and the message would still be just as clear. Thank you man.

[@joshuabayu]

i live in other city in Indonesia, and my city's cost of living is more expensive than Bali, if you plan to live in Bali, you just need to have less than US $1.000 /month, because everything is so cheap in my country, even the minimum wage in Bali is only around $200-300 USD

[@ginisaja7433]

may be you meant local life style

[@Real_vanGogh]

You're just euphoric because it's all new for you. Literally everyone who has been to South-East Asia experiences the exact same thing that you are explaining here. Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, Vietnam....It's all the same. These places are special because it's a new experience. And yes I agree, the people there are one of the friendliest and sweetest people on Earth. But it all get's boring after a while. The first time I went to Thailand was like I had discovered Valhalla, it was so special I didn't want to leave. Then I went home and visited Thailand again 5 years later. It was already 50% less special because it was not new for me anymore. Still enjoyable though but not heaven. For me what really happiness is that I can share beautiful places with the people I love. What is the use of laying on a beach alone and "enjoying" the beauty of it, after a while it's worth nothing. Now I am 31 years and planning to have children. Already thinking ahead to move to a good neighborhood where there are good schools. I don't care about beautiful places anymore, I just want the people around me that I care about to have a good life. And that costs MONEY. All that "western society materialistic" bla bla is so cliché. Life expectancy for males is 69.6 years in Indonesia compared to the Netherlands where it's 80.5 years. There's a good reason for that.

[@bramamortsell83]

Yes I agree with you, I have been travelling to many countries, but when I visited Bali for the first time, I just felt in love immediately . So since that time I keep coming Year after year and I am still in love. So as soon as Covid 19 get calm down, I will be there.

[@royarianto4617]

For sure..the same with me...im gonna to Bali...after pandemic..

[@collegefraud1308]

Me too! I wanna go too haha.

[@shanevergivinuptrice5651]

Traveling to out of country definitely gives u a different perspective on life. Learning how to Really Live and how other Live also changes your perspective. Love the vlog!

[@thomasspravka1370]

I tuned in to hear "What you've learned in Bali" and actually heard what you've learned about yourself! You have a great energy and no doubt you're finding synergy with the communal energy present in Bali. Your talk about the strength of words was awesome and reminded me of "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruis. I'll be subscribing to keep up to date on your journey, cheers!

[@lyndee13]

Your assessment is spot on. I have been to Bali four times and I agree with everything you say. The Balinese are some of the nicest, happiest people I have ever met in my life. If it we’re not so far from my family, I would move there in a heartbeat. Loved the video; stay safe and keep traveling!

[@steinlfromthebronx7372]

There's doggo everywhere in Bali, but there's cats everywhere in Java😂

[@selina57]

My first video of yours! You’ve earned yourself a new subscriber. I love your vibe! And yes, I agree with all of your points. I’ve been to Bali 3 times and I can say is everything you mentioned in this video are so true! Especially about the vibe of the people in Bali. They’re all so loving, welcoming, and positive! Definitely 10/10 would love to move to Bali and live there for good 👌🏻

[@rodneymcshanag4159]

Thanks for sharing Luke , I agree with you about how special Bali is and yes I do think it’s the energy ,

[@RiaLuna1]

I’m planning to go to Bali in a couple of months (I hope the borders will be opened by that time) Just really tired of living unhappily and doing things that don’t bring me joy. Everything’s possible, that’s for sure! ❤️ Thank you for the video! I enjoyed it a lot :)

Yes the vibe is what resonates with me when I travel. The energy is incredible in Portugal. Norway and Sweden are the same for me too. Bali is definitely up next whenever I can travel again.

[@mclovinmorning6053]

I'm 44 now and I think I'm going to start backpacking now that I'm retired from the military I think it's important to really live your life instead of working to live. In America it's really hard to stretch your retirement check like you can overseas.
