I am a fequent reader of this forum now, and really enjoy everyones stories and learning about Bali in general.However, I couldn't find much info on what and why the expats that live in Bali, do for a living... If I may ask, what is everyones occupations for those living in Bali. I read that a few have homestays, internetdesigning etc. So if you like, tell me what is your occupation in Bali, are you retired, have your own business, are you employed by locals?

Greetings,

Theo

4 yrs trading Aust shares & 3 yrs trading Forex. As you would know losses are part of trading, that's why you must have a well tested system & good money management. :wink: If you would like to know more just e-mail me.

I'm a yoga teacher and based in Perth. Hoping to move to Bali sometime in the next few years. I have run a 12 day yoga trip to Bali with a group of 8 and am looking to do more of the same.

Hi Theo

We had a great trip - in all there were 10 of us, including my husband. We travelled around the east coast and up to Lovina, so the group got to see a lot of Bali along the way.
