Hi everybody.
I will be working in Denpassar as of next month for a year so am coming on the 29th June to find accommodation etc before my contract begins. Hoping to find something inexpensive as my salary is small and this is more an adventure into a new culture and lifestyle. Having said that i have been coming to Bali over 30 years now and i have seen huge changes but really feel this will be a great adventure. For the past year i have been travelling but before that i lived in the UAE, Ras al Khaimah teaching at a local university. Currently in Emerald Beach NSW and really looking forward to some sunshine and a more casual way of life. I have suffered severe culture shock in Australia as everything is so changed and bureaucratic and enormously over priced.
If anyone knows of any good shared accommodation or reasonable rental accommodation in beach areas such as Sanur please let me know. Open to other ideas like house sitting or live in home help.
Also hoping to find social network among other expats. Please advise best areas and have not ruled out Denpassar but am very beach orientated. I acknowledge Bali beaches are not the best in the world but still enjoy long walks along their shores.
Looking forward to your learned advice and experiences.
Best
