AOA 137 | Stories From Bali – Living on the Island of the Gods

It's been two years since I live somewhere else besides Bali. For most of the life of the Art of Adventure podcast, we have recorded from Bali. Now I'm back in the states for a few months before the next move. I learned a ton from my time in Bali, and I'd like to share some stories with you that represent my experience there.

I like to think of the town where I lived, Ubud like a small liberal arts college. Everyday You see your friends at restaurants or at yoga or at the coworking spaces. There are all kinds of things to learn and groups to join and community activities. It's also somewhat different than the "real world", because everything is cheap and easy(ish) and everyone is loving and peaceful.

I hope you'll join me when I head back to Bali this September for AdventureQuest!
