Very thoughtful. I’ve been to Bali many times and I agree with your assessment. I would urge ppl to get out of the busy tourist areas of the south and head to the rest of Bali that most never get to. Completely different experience.

Thanks for this video. Hope you continue making content like this, people need to know the reality and the impact tourism has on the country, the locals and the environment.

Thank YOU for watching! Always great to hear from you :)
The trash in Bali (everywhere in South East Asia) is not from tourists. It is by locals. There is no cultural norm to store trash in containers, just easier for locals just throw it on the streets. The ocean is full of garbage plastic that ends up on the beach with the tight. Bali is relatively clean, You should leave the other islands in Indonesia.

Would agree 100%
How do you travel to a different country each month? Do you touchback to the U.S. at the end of each trip? You have probably answered this somewhere, and I spent some time looking through your channel to see if this has already been answered; apologies if it is somewhere in plain sight.

Never a need for apologies! I've done a poor job explaining this and am planning a few videos to give a more complete answer. The short answer is we do not touchback to the US each month. We probably get to the US once (MAYBE twice) a year. The rest of the time we jump from one place to the next and live in Airbnbs full-time

@@camdendavid Cool, thanks for the explanation! So if you keep hopping from country to country every ~30 days, you avoid any of the 90 day limitations you'd face staying in just one country?

@@charlesciaravino Exactly. A bit different in Europe within the Schengen Zone (have to track all those countries to make sure I don't exceed 90 days out of the past 180). Probably a good topic to breakdown in a video haha
This is a difficult subject. As someone who lives in a high tourism area, I am part of the locals who stay away from tourists, we don't like how they behave, they are too loud and don't respect properties and culture. I hope that I don't do the same when I am a tourist and I also hope that locals do benefit from the business brought in by tourism - there should be some type of price control so the influx of outside business do not make the locals poorer., mostly for real estate prices.
