I think the thing I like about your videos is you are a pretty awkward guy and no hate cause I’m the exact same but you still put yourself in situations that may be uncomfortable and it’s admirable. Sitting here in a bus station in Ipoh Malaysia feels surreal as it wasn’t long ago I was watching in the comfort of my home in Canada. So I thank you sir for pushing me to be uncomfortable
Just came back from Bali and I am already on skyscanner to check flights for my return! What a magical island. Landscapes, people, food, history. It has all the ingredients for an epic vacation.
That ceremony was beautiful and very interesting! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us! Fascinating country + culture. I liked the clothes they adorned you with. And that's a BIG event! So impressive to see!
This was awesome Tommy. This time you really got inside the culture and customs of a community. Amazing! Thank you to Mey, your guide, too, that protected you and oriented you.
Thank you TOMMY and Mey..A beautiful Hindu ceremony..incredible experience..😮love the coffee/tea man..😊 Be safe..i get to travel the 🌎 thru ur eyes..ty
@Hans Albers what services? she is not a s*x worker, ain't no way she appears on the vlog if she is a s*x worker. She just accompanies him, nothing wrong with it
@@SabbaticalTommylike ur videos. You look kind of similar to myself. Even the clothes or the Indonesian girlfriend you have there looks like mine 😅 but I live in Germany and you are exploring the world. I wish we could do things together
Bali is a super cool place if you're willing to go off the beaten path and ignore the IG tourist traps. Awesome to see you documenting the lesser known parts of the island! Loved the digital nomad clown 🤣
Experiencing history is never boring...going to the places and experiencing the sounds, sights, smells, culture all firsthand is very inspiring. But as for the phrase "history is never boring"...I have many middle schoolers that might argue otherwise 🤣. But I understand your point, and I personally agree...but then I am a wandering spirit that has always loved experiencing what the world has to offer...especially the older places where the true history is somewhat unknown, lost toa certain degree if not entirely, and open to speculations that serve as the inspiration for dreams and a great story 👍
Excellent video, Tommy! It was nice to see you go headlong into participating in the ceremony. PS from one pale NYer to another, a little sun wouldn't hurt!
I love Bali. Been there twice. The first time I went in 2014 on a whim. I was invited by a friend. So I went. I didn’t even know where it was and had to look it up. It was a magical 3 weeks based in Ubud. All the ceremonies and offerings bring back memories. As a fellow NY’er I think you would appreciate some of my stories from that trip.
"To many god damn white people" Perfect ending. 😆 And your newly found friend seemed very nice and beautiful as well, which is a bonus i guess. 😇 Keep it up and enjoy every minute as i know you do.. cheers mate!
I truly enjoy the touch of historical knowledge you provide. Bali seems very laid back without the hustle and bustle of many places and your expose has put this on my bucket list. As always, thanks Tommy (& Mey) for dispelling those pre-conceived notions by drilling down into life. Namaste. One love. W
It’s admirable that you try to speak the local lingo and people do appreciate it. If you find them not that responsive, it’s probably because Balinese (like Javanese) is a stratified language with levels of speech. This basically means that there are different words to use based on who you’re speaking to and you have to establish your relationship with someone first before choosing the right level. Please don’t take it personally. You might be better off with Indonesian,since it doesn’t have that kind of levels of speech. 1:10 the banten (offerings) that you said a sign of Hinduism is actually one of the things that set Hinduism in Bali apart from Hinduism in India, but at the same time similar types of offering can be found all over Indonesia in various folk religions native to the archipelago. Another difference is of course the holidays and rituals, like the Aci ceremony that they let you partake in. 14:57 unlike koils or Hindu temples in India, pura or temples in Bali are not always dedicated to a single deity. There are temples that are designated to certain clans only, temples for certain professions, temples of the cardinal directions, etc.
As a non-bali Indonesian, I really love your interaction with the locals. And also you knowing the history is also pretty awesome. Cant wait to see more like this in another country
The thing that puts me off of Bali is the influx of westerners & I’m American lol… When I’m traveling I don’t want to go to another California or Hawaii. I might give Bali a chance tho, I’m open minded 🇮🇩
Bro your first and last statements are true. It's so sad what the digi-mads have done to Bali. I use to go twice a year to surf and buy artwork during the 90's. Lived there in 2001, knew people killed at the Kuta bombing. I want to return so bad but the memories I have are too precious to be ruined by the way it is now. I always went alone, forced me to meet balinese people. I was taken to so many temple ceremonies and had unbelievable experiences. Very cool video!
Bali's beach is just standar beach in indonesia, not that special, but their culture and architecture on the other is on another level. As someone who was born and grew up in bali, and then living in many provinces, I won't come back to bali for beaches, but for culture and people hehe
I am in Bali right now and I had no idea that it would be the way it is so many people here working online and up to there necks in instagram posts (tourists or digital nomads as they go by) but it’s a lovely place and the locals and food are incredible still so many people here for the wrong reasons in my opinion
Agreed. I find this also to be particularly the case in Chiang Mai and Palawan. Sabbatical is like the anti dIgItaL nOmAd digital nomad. Very rare, in my observations.
If you get out from the popular places and drive to the local areas you can see a less digital bali. The drive from Sanur to Ubud for example is pretty cool as you see lots of locals and locals stores shops etc
Mey was a really cool person, she felt like somebody you already know even if you never ever met her and just seen her in the video. I was surprise to see alot of trash around too, all and all I think Bali looks cool.
Be careful as a tourist in Bali right now. If you are driving, I hope you have your international driver's license. They are cracking down on foreigners driving without the proper license. Too many bule making problems in Bali. But I know you are very respectful om 🙏
Amazing as usual Tommy! Basically when someone says they’ve been to Indonesia when they visited for example Bali, you visited only part of it. Here they have Hindu tradition, where in other parts it’s muslim. Whatever it is, Tommy you are amazing, thanks for sharing everything with us!
I’m super pale: even more pale than Tommy. When ya’ just don’t have that melanin in your body, lots of burns and lots of sunshine don’t foster an emerging tan. Ya just get sunburns & get faster skin-aging. Ya learn to apply lots of sunblock, and that stuff mixes with sweat and stings your eyes. Your eyebrows fail to protect you. I do notice a big improvement in mood and disposition when in sunny places though.
As iam from west Australia it’s only about a 3 hour flight ; Bali we love it but also we respect it . People are lovely an it’s a great place to chill out at
Your friend is super cute and pretty 😘 I really enjoy the entire video 👍👍👍 btw ... please come to Toraja or Lake Toba, or even to Papua ... you'll see how the Christian majority places also have different touch, just like Bali with its Hindu character 😁 Honestly, it's very common, foreigners would think Indonesia looks the same like other Islamic countries ... but usually, as they explore more about Indonesia, this impression slowly changes, since there are many places in Indonesia that isn't Islamic at all
Indonesia's a massive country. Suggest you got beyond Bali. Sumatra has cool spots etc. Heard good things about Gili Islands. I intentionally skipped Bali and don't understand why people ONLY go there in Indonesia.
We were in Bali around the same time as you were, and found the same thing. Lots of temples, lots of religious gatherings, praying. We were able to visit some resorts as well as visit the countryside. We really enjoyed the hospitality of the people on the island and preferred being up in the mountains where it was significantly cooler and very pretty. We still miss being in Bali a year later.
I'm always amazed how you throw yourself into the culture and seem so at ease with the locals. Your commentary is always natural and unforced with just enough information to get the viewer to understand what's going on with out being oversold. Keep it up my friend. Safe travels.
Tommys demeanor and calmness makes every video informative and interesting. Tommy? Waktu kamu baca sama ini, terima kasih untuk video kamu. Setiap video, di Cina di Amerika Selatan, di Afrika, semua saya suka! Alhamdulillah!
Love it. I went to Bali back in 1999 - no such thing as digital posemads back then but was already very commercialised for tourists. I stayed in Nusa Dua so less brash than Seminyak but still had very much a resort feel. Would love to go back and see more of the place. Great upload as usual. Oh and nice co-host. Guaranteed a nice view! 😉
Ah yes, I realise now that the coffee guy is doing that to all people haha. He stopped us on our scooter the same way, , the same guy, the same farm.... he must be doing back and forth on his scooter and waiting for a white guy to bring to his shop
I clicked for Mey and ofcourse you Tommy! Don't always comment but always like and watch the videos! Bali looks cool and the people seem very friendly even if you did have some trouble understanding one another!
India and Indonesia have great cultural relations , some words have same meaning between Hindi language and Indonesian bahasa. Like puttra, puttri, bahasa, utara, shastra, wahana, Devi, etc.
Masyarakat Bali dari segi budaya, tradisi, religi, dan agama sangat kuat. Hal hal tersebut berpengaruh sangat kuat dalam keseharian kehidupan masyarakat Bali.
Pretty crazy that some other traveldudes have millions of subscribers and you don't. You are the man we watch. You should visit Sweden some day. Hit me up if you go to Stockholm or Uppsala. 👍🍻
Holy Moly… you’re a linguist too!? …picking up the idiomas cuando estas pasando por los paises… muy rapido! You’re better than that guy from NYC who “learns” a language in a week… enough to go into a Nigerian convenience store to impress the shopkeepers with his patter!
I could listen to that music for quite some time. I find it relaxing, which somehow makes no sense to me as it's very intense. Maybe some hypnotic vibe transmitted.
It's called hindu in bali because of muslims influence from india. It was indian Muslims mainly converting Indonesia, Malaysia etc , that's why it's called hindu. But it was built by Buddhists, Chinese Buddhists. You can check architecture style. Hindus are recent migration during Mughals. Buddhism never existed Islamic rule , they called it hindu. Which is apartheid caste system
Bali is fun. In my opinion a great starting point for traveling through Asia. My buddy lives there so for me it was also a great reason for me to head out to Bali first. Fast forwarding years later I'm still exploring Asia and for me one of the continents I adore. My next trip will be Japan!
This is so mind blowingly beautiful.... I'm so sick of the USA, I'm seriously thinking of learning Balinese, & retiring in Bali....The cost of living there middle class style; is about 1/5 of that in the USA...A nice 250 square meter leaseholder small house is about 85,000 USD. out in the boonies of Bali!
Bali is too crowded today and the property price went up. Also please dont gentrify the locals. Today there is some bad sentiment against tourist in Bali. Blame the UA/RU guys for that. The war dodger. If you want to spend your retirement in Indonesia Central Java looks more promising. Solo/Jogja/Semarang sounds great.
Cool channel. I'll join. We spent another 17 days in Bali in March. West Bali National Forest! to Munduk, to Ubud. There is definitely a Bali beyond the thumping.
lollll loved the video and the self-deprecating humor. I can see you are conflicted to not behave like a typical Bule however a typical Bule digital nomad is not self-aware of their behavior and how cliche that shit is. You found a unique path and experience that i believe we all appreciate from your channel. Thank you for sharing and cheers from Alabama
Bali, my Indonesian wife's favorite place. There are not enough civets in this dimension and the next three combined to make as much kopi luwak as they claim to manufacture.
Thank you for your channel. I used to be a traveler as well, and I traveled similarly to your style, but without your gift for language. I did travel photography and writing before the RUclips era. But I met my wife in Taiwan and traded one life for another. I am a family man now with no regrets. Your videos make me feel like my old self is still alive. Now I have everything. I hope for my sake you keep going. I hope for sake you are able to settle down. Either way, thank you for taking me on your journey.
"A place in Asia where White people fly across the world to hang out with other White people." That made me laugh so hard because that's why I haven't gone to Bali yet
My man Tommy though showing the side of Bali that makes me want to visit. The usual RUclips vloggers show the things I am not interested in. This vid has me very intrigued with Bali now.
One love to all my Bali and Bule friends
great videos found you 2 years ago very enjoyable and im so glad that child in africa is no longer afraid of you anymore lol
Fantastic as always ‼️👍✌🏽❤️
mantap mas bule
One Love Sabbatical
Are you gonna go to vietnam soon ?
This channel is my favourite place on RUclips to come and relax. No music, no unnecessary editing; just a dude with his camera walking the world.
Couldn't agree more or have said it better myself
Mee to this dude take me back nearly 40 years. When I was doing the same. But no you tube back then ……
💯😌
AGREE!!!!😃
Yeah, I used to watch a bunch of Bald and Bankrupt, but I get tired of the constant posturing and the need to always do something more extreme.
I think the thing I like about your videos is you are a pretty awkward guy and no hate cause I’m the exact same but you still put yourself in situations that may be uncomfortable and it’s admirable. Sitting here in a bus station in Ipoh Malaysia feels surreal as it wasn’t long ago I was watching in the comfort of my home in Canada. So I thank you sir for pushing me to be uncomfortable
Awkward travelers unite!
I think Quirky is a better description..
He's got a different style than for example Bald & Bankrupt but I enjoy watching both of them

@Hans Albers This may shock you, but you can actually get people to like you with just your personality, and not money. Don’t let the secret out

Just try to Avoid south if you can, especially Canggu, Kuta and Uluwatu. If you want to experience real Bali go to North or East
It's the most beautiful country I've ever been to. The statues temples and natural beauty is stunning. Such deep cultural and religious history
It's chinese temples

Sounds like you really had great times there
Yes, because Bali's beaches aren't too bad, but the interior of the island is totally spectacular. Don't go to Bali for the beaches, but for that.

There are not enough civets in this dimension and the next three combined to make as much kopi luwak as they claim to manufacture.
Thank you for your channel. I used to be a traveler as well, and I traveled similarly to your style, but without your gift for language. I did travel photography and writing before the RUclips era. But I met my wife in Taiwan and traded one life for another. I am a family man now with no regrets. Your videos make me feel like my old self is still alive. Now I have everything. I hope for my sake you keep going. I hope for sake you are able to settle down. Either way, thank you for taking me on your journey.
I married my Indonesian tour guide :)
That Tegal tea man actually surprised me! That's a pretty good setup 👌👌
This was beautiful.
Indonesians/Balinese seem quite frank/straight-forward but the vibe is chill at the same time
"A place in Asia where White people fly across the world to hang out with other White people." That made me laugh so hard because that's why I haven't gone to Bali yet
My man Tommy though showing the side of Bali that makes me want to visit. The usual RUclips vloggers show the things I am not interested in. This vid has me very intrigued with Bali now.
Keep up the good work on your videos I love your range in languages
