Hello all, long time lurker but first time poster.
So I find myself recently single and about to retire.
I've been to Bali about a dozen times over the last 30 odd years and love everything about it, so now my mind wanders to those golden times of warm ocean breezes and amazing food. ( also, the jungle, waterfalls, smells, sounds, smiles, spirituality, freedom, colours, intrigue, ..... everything really )
My previous travels have really only been staying at various resorts and wandering the local neighbourhoods with "the group" ( pretty unadventurous i know )
So now I am seriously contemplating staying long term, but I really worry that I will just have nothing to "do" in any meaningful long term way.
I really am not one of those adventurous wander-lust free-spirit type of people, so figuring out "what to do" can be somewhat challenging.
I know that I could go and do all the "touristy" type things ( mountain biking, water rafting, jungle treks etc ) but that is very short term and usually done in a group.
I am talking more longer term, day to day type activities, and I am really stuck.
I don't "write" or "Paint" or any other type of solo endeavour, so feel that I might end up just sitting in my room staring at the walls.
So my question is, "What do other Bali retirees fill their days in paradise with after the "honeymoon" period ? "
Thanks in advance to all those that reply,
David
