Our friends from SKUTE Bali have set-up a great campaign. If you live on Bali at the moment and were already thinking about swapping your petrol scooter for an electric ‘no pollution’ model from SKUTE, now is the time!

Rent your very own electric SKUTE and they will donate 25% of the rental price to provide food for those who need it most.

Head on over to their website or contact them directly via [email protected] / WA: +62 812 4628 8778

What will this time mean for all of us?

We're currently re-thinking how Impact Nomads can stay of value during this time as so many things are unsure of when and how we can travel again.

Is there anything you need at this moment that we can inspire you on whether it is work, lifestyle, future travel, impact-making to just name a few.

Do share!

Recently, I was talking with some friends virtually and it was exactly as the below message is telling. This journey is different for every one of us.

WE ARE FACING THE SAME STORM, BUT WE ARE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT ...

From different sides, you hear that we are all in the same boat, but that is not true. We are in the same storm, but not in the same boat. Your ship could be shipwrecked and mine might not be. Or vice versa.

For some, quarantine is optimal. A moment of reflection, of re-connection, easy in flip flops, with a cocktail or coffee.

For others, this is a desperate financial & family crisis.

For some that live alone they're facing endless loneliness. While for others it is peace, rest & time with their mother, father, sons & daughters.

With the $600 weekly increase in unemployment some are bringing in more money to their households than they were working.
Others are working more hours for less money due to pay cuts or loss.

Some were concerned about getting a certain candy for Easter while others were concerned if there would be enough bread, milk and eggs for the weekend.

Some want to go back to work because they don't qualify for unemployment and are running out of money. Others want to kill those who break the quarantine.

Some are home spending 2-3 hours/day helping their child with online schooling while others are spending 2-3 hours/day to educate their children on top of a 10-12 hour workday.

Some have experienced the near-death of the virus, some have already lost someone from it and some are not sure if their loved ones are going to make it. Others don't believe this is a big deal.

So, we are not in the same boat. We are going through a time when our perceptions and needs are completely different.

We are all on different ships during this storm experiencing a very different journey. Each of us will emerge, in our own way.

This was worth the share ❤ whatever boat you are in we hope you are ok 🙏

In the rush to return to normal, let's use this time to consider which parts of normal are worth rushing back to. And so it is....

In a documentary we have seen recently, Lidewij Edelkoort, one of the world's most famous trend forecasters, said that this pandemic is bringing us something many of us were longing for, a slow down of our ever rushing life (less emails, less social obligations and more time for ourselves and dear ones)

Hardly anyone was able to take that step, but now we got some help...

We're curious about what positive this change will all bring us.

We are in a reset. We are paying the neglect of the effects and the aftereffects of what has been done to this 🌎 over the years. Been done in the mining, deforestation. Been done in taking precious metals and minerals, building in places where there should not have been built and where there has been created a disbalance of nature.

This wave 🌊 of change that is sweeping throughout the world is as a volcano 🌋, devastating everything along its way, but leaving fertile soil afterward.

New foundations to live, new foundations to connect, new foundations to do business, new foundations to teach and to learn, and new foundations to have people cooperate and co-exist together.

We’re are being invited and supported into shifting and changing how we live and how we do business so that we bring the planet back to balance and with it, also ourselves.

No one knows how the world will look in one year from now, how we as businesses and human beings should respond in the best way possible.

The best that we can do is being receptive to inner nudges, for what feels right and move with whatever direction we will be taken to.

How is this time for you?

To spend your time indoors, I can recommend this great Youtube channel run by the lovely Canadian couple Mark and Juliana from Boho Beautiful .

I follow them since the beginning of their existence and they offer amazing workouts, meditation, and yoga classes. A great way to relax and stay fit!

The coronavirus is a fact. The news channels bombarding you with the latest update of the virus is a fact too. So no need for us to do that.

We want to focus on the positive so that we all come out with new ideas, inspired and maybe even 're-wired', full of life, and being thankful for what we have.

Since last week so many business teams and friends introduced digital Friday afternoon drinks.

Did you already have a virtual social meeting? Any other great ideas that kicked-off during this stay-at-home period? Please do share with all of us. Thank u!

It’s been a very strange and unsettling time in the world these last few weeks. ⁣It is so bizarre and on such a global scale. It requires everyone and all businesses to unwind, to reflect, to be creative and take time for your dear ones. It will be a global reset and we even can't oversee its consequences.

Especially, with all the news and Coronavirus updates that create fear and worry it is important to do things that make you happy and give you joy. Try not to join everyone in that worry as this is not going to help you.

Sending each and everyone one of you all of our love. We’re all in this together. ⁣

Food in Bali does not have to be expensive. We love to eat in warungs (locally-owned restaurants) that serve yummie, healthy and cheap food.

One of our favorites at the moment: Warung Alus. Just a bit north of Canggu, the drive through the ricefields is already amazing.

Please make sure you arrive before sunset since this warung with beach view will offer you one of the best sunsets ever! Enjoy your Bintang or kelapa (coconut 😊) here.

For a complete list of the best Warungs in Canggu check out the blog post from Charlie & Lauren - https://zcu.io/xoUy

Canggu is a foodies heaven. Although once the novelty of avocado wears off, we recommend you try out some of the best warungs in Canggu.

When you're living in a country for some time your relationship will be deepened with it by connecting with its people.

There is nothing so strong and memorable as the contacts you make along the way. Sharing a meal, drinking a cup of tea, while exchanging stories.

This opens us up and creates tolerance.

So don't hide, get yourself out of your comfort zone and CONNECT.

If you are working and staying some time in Bali how great would it be to experience Bali in-depth? Is this possible? Yes, it is!

Wayan who is living with his family in Bangli, a small village just outside Ubud, is a great cook and knows everything about medicinal plants.

He provides a home cooking class where you can learn to produce cooking oil in their traditional way from his mom and of course learn and taste delicious family recipes.

You can also join him on a herbal walk learning all about medicinal plants or stay in their family homestay to get an even better feeling of Balinese family life.

On Tuesday Impact-nomads organized the Clean Air Mini Hackathon together with Dojobali and SKUTE Bali. More than 30 people were present to find solutions to accelerate electric mobility in Bali.

There were experts present from SKUTE, Kosmik (a national electric mobility community), the local government, and electrified Suzy. These experts gave the teams a kickstart with their expertise and shared their knowledge throughout the Hackathon. In 3 sprints, the 5 teams worked from understanding the problem, generating ideas to selection and preparing a one minute pitch.

We were blown away by the amazing solutions all teams came up with! In the end, it was the ‘ladies team’ who won with their pitch!

We want to say a big thank you to all experts, participants and the organization for your amazing energy! Let's do it again! Stay tuned!
