Hello and greetings from Japan!
I am a Canadian married to a Japanese man. We are about to embark on a very exciting and scary (in a good way )adventure: moving to Bali :!:
The plan (for the moment) is to find land (we have a friend to assist in this respect) and build a small guesthouse type accommodation along with a yoga studio.
We know that it will be a challenge and also that there is the chance to fail miserably but we are willing to take that chance to improve the quality of our lives and hopefully, improve the lives of others along the way.
Future plans include a culture school where guests can learn the local language, music, dance, culture, and food. BUT! I am getting way ahead of myself already :roll:
I have been perusing the forums for several weeks and I apologize in advance if I ask questions that have already been answered.
We will arrive in the last week of September and we have been tossing around several ideas as to what our first move should be.....one idea is to establish a base as soon as possible. The second is to spend a month in a camper type vehicle touring the island, scouting locations and getting acquainted with things in general.
Do camping type vehicles exist in Bali? Do people (locals/tourists/expats) camp? Would we better off renting an apartment or house and renting a car for a month?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a real estate company or person with whom we can correspond?
Your opinions are greatly appreciated.
I hope to meet you all in person someday
