From the USA to Bali: A Leap of Faith 🌏

Ever wondered what it’s like to start fresh in paradise? For one family .bali.life, their move to Bali was nothing short of serendipitous. 💫

Here’s how it all began:
“My husband, a teacher, got a job offer at an international school here. We found out about the position in early January, and within two weeks, he had accepted it—and we were moving to Bali! It all felt so kismet, like a sign.

The whirlwind decision didn’t give me time to overthink it, which was a blessing. We sold our house and everything we owned—a huge task—but looking back, it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.” 🏡✈️

Their journey reminds us that sometimes life-changing opportunities come when you least expect them. 🌟

We helped a family from the UK with two children move to Bali.

Bali is their perfect stopover for what might be at least 18 months before eventually migrating to Australia. Let's see!

Thank you for this wonderful review!

"Our Year in Bali, led by Simone, has been a lifesaver for us moving from the UK to Bali. From the start, Simone provided an invaluable support system – from connecting us with an immigration and business specialist who was key to our move, to sharing practical insights about settling here. She went above and beyond, always ready with advice and solutions for even the smallest of queries.

Even now, Simone continues to offer her guidance; just today, she reached out to introduce us to another family who recently moved from the UK, thinking we’d get along, and offering advice regarding investment in Uluwatu.

Her service is both highly professional and genuinely personal, making what could have been a complex and daunting relocation into a smooth transition for our family.

We cannot recommend Simone highly enough – she's an absolute star!"

✨ A Life-Changing Move to Bali ✨🌏

In our latest interview, we chat with our clients who took the leap from Europe to Bali, and haven’t looked back since! Originally from the UK and Germany, they set out on a career break, which soon transformed into a journey of balance, fulfillment, and discovery.

With their two young daughters, they found exactly what they were seeking—a lower cost of living, top-tier international schools, rich culture, and a slower, more meaningful pace of life. Nestled in the stunning west coast near Cemagi, they’ve embraced Bali’s tight-knit community and vibrant lifestyle.

Visit the link below to read how they’ve navigated the challenges, found new professional opportunities, and grown as a family in paradise. 🌿🏝️
