hi everybody,
introducing myself to this community. My lovely Belgian girlfriend Eve and I have been sailing (and travelling) around the world last half decade and finally decided to settle down, guess where? it's definitely not Belgium :anonymous:
We're both architects specialized in health and feng shui and we are so keen on designing/building our own Balinese house.
I was here some 15 years ago -yet with another Belgian girlfriend- but completely fell in love with the place, the culture, the Balinese!
However, last year when I came back, I was shocked! I couldn't believe the amount of trucks, motorcycles, traffic jams and noise, it was awful! My memories were shattered!
Only a couple of days later, when we started acclimatizing around Ubud, the bug creeped in, couldn't fight it much longer. BALI! THIS is the place that we've been looking for, especially since we might start a family, who knows?
We've been reading and absorbing many of your experiences on the forum, and found it an amazing source of information. Thank you all for that!
Would love some more hints on practicalities though, planning to buy land/build around central or East Bali...
