This week on Bali Life Unfiltered, we get real about what life in Bali looks like right now — from riding the beer cycle and braving Frankensteins, to helping our community through the devastating floods.

We chat about our latest adventures — the party bus, a cocktail-making class, Padel competitions, The Big Bounce, and even a wild Gojek scam — plus some quieter moments like date nights, building plans in Ungasan, and solo parenting.

But it’s not just about the highlights. We dive into how Bali has slowed us down, shifted our friendships, and shaped the way we parent and build a life far from home.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to trade city life for island living — the good, the hard, and the unfiltered — this episode is for you.
