Courtney (Coco) is a jewelry designer and owner of a sustainable luxury brand called 'The World of Indah' who separates her time between Bali, Indonesia and Kelowna, BC! She expresses her love and affinity for Indonesia at length, and we explore the rewards and challenges of managing a business within the Balinese culture.

 

Courtney also tells me about the positive impacts of living a healthier lifestyle in Bali through attending wellness centers, practicing yoga and traditional prayer, and consuming vegan and vegetarian food.

 

Further, we discuss the 'KITAS' (Indonesian work visa), doing regular 'visa runs' and the value of solo travel. She also shares professional opportunities that have been presented to her as a creative entrepreneur, including her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design a collection for Versace!

 

Lastly, we wrap up by emphasizing how important it is to nurture relationships back home, as well as with the people around you in your new location
