I have just finished my second book about Bali and this time I have written a guide for people interested in retiring in Bali. Writing certainly doesn’t come easy for me and even though I have all of these ideas running around in my head, getting them written down is another thing all together.

I learnt quite a bit from writing my first book on starting a business in Bali and the feedback I got from it. There has also been this small revolution in publishing over the last couple of years and there is much less stigma attached to self publishing a book. In fact publishers are starting to find new authors after they have had success from selling their work directly to Kindle and other ebook readers.

There are many books on retiring to Thailand, the Philippines and South American countries, but nothing that I have ever seen for Bali or Indonesia. I am hoping my book can help to fill this gap.

You can download the book from the main part of the website here.

When I first posted this picture on Facebook my auntie said how she could imagine sitting in one of those deck chairs alongside her husband. If you live in Bali, and I don’t mean just visiting for a short holiday, you can do it everyday! Imagine having your own maid for just $50 a month to do your cleaning, washing and cooking, happy in the knowledge you are providing someone with a job.

Since I started this website, I have had various emails from people asking how they can live in Bali. Jobs for foreigners are pretty scarce here, so you need to get a little creative to earn a living.

I decided to put together a guide to some of the potential opportunities for foreigners to make a living here in Bali.

The guide covers:

- my story and how I make a living
- visas
- jobs for expats in Bali
- starting a business
- doing freelance work
- and more!
