Passport renewal nightmare continues, I'm stuck in Bali until further notice.

This was not a good day. I may have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. It looks like I'll be spending a few more weeks in Bali. It'll be over soon enough.

I for one am really enjoying your long form blog content and candid style. It's refeshing to hear a realistic story about the struggles and inner monologue of a traveler. I've found myself tuning in and listening to your whole blogs. One thing I would suggest you could do is to put chapters in your blogs with a short description of what you're talking about, i.e. money, on difference between Bali and Thailand, food, we*d, etc. Looking forward to hearing more from you. Take care

Hey man enjoying your videos. Honestly, I think you could use some more time off weed before you go back to Thailand. I found it took months to really detox off it and become less anxious and more at peace than I have ever been, even here, stuck in my same shitty home town in Canada right now. Being a little uncomfortable is ok, you will get through it and become stronger and more flexible.

It would be nice to have even more time off it, the longer the break the better of course. I'm happy though to have a good 7-8 weeks of break and try to regulate my usage again. If it becomes a problem I will quickly recognize it and likely head to a country like Vietnam or the Phillipines for a while to break the habit again. Let's see if I can manage to use it moderately when returning to Thailand 🤔

@@benfishermin Don't mean to sound negative, but once a relationship with a substance has become broken/unhealthy, it will never become healthy again, long-term at least. Should consider going longer! I smoked for 20 years every single day, felt no joy the first 6t months off, but am 2 years in and happier than I have ever been! Goodluck bro!

If you have no other choice but to wait for the passport just make the best of it. There is so much content you can make there!! Interview people (where are they from, what do they think of Bali, etc), show the hostels, show the beaches (differences), attractions, local dishes/street food, etc etc. You are a natural on camera, good looking, well spoken, I wish i could do what you do! 😂 Really, you have all the makings of a big travel youtuber!

You can extend your visitor Visa, especially under the circumstances. Normally you cannot enter a country w/o 6 month expiry date on your passport, so not sure how you got yourself in the situation? When traveling cannot be cavalier with your documents!

Good to know that! When I arrived I had a little more than 6 month so they let me into Bali. I just never knew about this and 6 month rule and they didn't tell me when flying there.

If you want to stay in cheaper place, i think Yogyakarta would be your destination. As long as you stay and eat like a local there, Yogya would be cheapest to stay compared to pricey Bali. Not to mention Yogya is rich in culture and arts. Another option would be Bandung if you want cooler temperature..😅

Interesting I need to watch some videos on Yogyakarta, I've definitely met some folks in Bali from there. Bandung does look pretty nice actually, probably cheaper than Bali as well yea?

Hey there my eBestie. Im loving your video content - including this one. Its raw and authentic, because not all changes in life are smooth and seamless. There are rough patches in life, and you are experiencing it atm. The thing is to not give up. I know its easy to say, but some of the best creative ideas out there have come from broke mindsets. Broke meaning low on cash. I saw someone above mention 5 minutes talks to the Locale (I saw your talking to strangers ep). They were tourists moreso. Maybe see if u can get a few nice Indonesian residents that speak English. To perhaps talk about life there, and their family and community . I also had idea of maybe you can have tutorials on watching you draw something, for your tattoo designs. Ur designs are wicked cool! 😏 Hang in there, cause I believe in you, and you have that tenacity and desire to grow. ~ Tazzz ~

Mate... get a Scoopy 125 or Vario 125 (price is approx. 50k/day or 500k a month), might be 10-20% more in Sanur bur come on. There is cheap accommodation everywhere... you can take even the ferry from Padang Bai to Lombok... costs only approx. 40k for a passenger without scooter.

@benfishermin 5 ай бұрын
I did switch to a daily vario after my month was up on the nmax, definitely much cheaper. The only boats that were cheap to Lombok I read horror stories about, so I ended up not doing it. Next time I come to Indonesia I’ll skip bali and go to Lombok, and keep it to a shorter trip. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for your honest account....Since you ask for thoughts and or advice in the process here are some observations...If Im recalling accurately Sanur is probably feeling saturated by dour Russians at this point in the season, many of whom, know before leaving the frigid motherland that they will not make eye contact much less, God forbid, have a conversation with a foreigner....Having said that, maybe you would feel progress in the vlogs if you did more interviews and or focused on where you are, and local color....As of now, you could be vlogging from anywhere in the world and the only difference would be the backdrop....So, Im recommending that you go outside your bubble a bit....It sounds like you would like to see some evolution of your vlogs, but they could be fine just the way they are....Just keep it up!! Showing up is more than half of the battle, posting this was better than not! Keep up the good work!

Yes to be honest in Sanur I was in a guesthouse full of only Russian people who were super unfriendly, it’s the first time I experienced that. Getting out of there helped immensely. I ended up going back to Canggu to be around some friends which helped a ton. I think I was just too isolated and couldn’t connect with anyone around me, so when I got the passport news I snapped a bit lol! Thanks a lot for your comment 😁😁
