One love to all my Bali and Bule friends

This channel is my favourite place on KZfaq to come and relax. No music, no unnecessary editing; just a dude with his camera walking the world.

I think the thing I like about your videos is you are a pretty awkward guy and no hate cause I’m the exact same but you still put yourself in situations that may be uncomfortable and it’s admirable. Sitting here in a bus station in Ipoh Malaysia feels surreal as it wasn’t long ago I was watching in the comfort of my home in Canada. So I thank you sir for pushing me to be uncomfortable

Been seeing this for 30 years, married to an Indonesian lady who is a member of a royal family. Love Indonesia!

Thank you for providing great content, as always.

Tommy is a true Humanitarian spreading kindness around The World in a World that needs it very badly !

Just came back from Bali and I am already on skyscanner to check flights for my return! What a magical island. Landscapes, people, food, history. It has all the ingredients for an epic vacation.

History is never boring. 👍 It’s another reason I like your videos because you always educate us about the places you’re traveling to.

This was awesome Tommy. This time you really got inside the culture and customs of a community. Amazing! Thank you to Mey, your guide, too, that protected you and oriented you.

Always a treat, thanks so much for your videos Tommy

Thank you for making these videos, I hope you never stop. I love looking forward to the next video.

That ceremony was beautiful and very interesting! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us! Fascinating country + culture. I liked the clothes they adorned you with. And that's a BIG event! So impressive to see!

It's the most beautiful country I've ever been to. The statues temples and natural beauty is stunning. Such deep cultural and religious history

My man can always find a beautiful local girl to accompany him 😂

Mey was a really cool person, she felt like somebody you already know even if you never ever met her and just seen her in the video. I was surprise to see alot of trash around too, all and all I think Bali looks cool.

Excellent video, Tommy! It was nice to see you go headlong into participating in the ceremony. PS from one pale NYer to another, a little sun wouldn't hurt!

What i love with your channel is that you keep being chill and down to earth despite having soon 500k subs.

Love your content brother keep up the great work!

I truly enjoy the touch of historical knowledge you provide. Bali seems very laid back without the hustle and bustle of many places and your expose has put this on my bucket list. As always, thanks Tommy (& Mey) for dispelling those pre-conceived notions by drilling down into life. Namaste. One love. W

Thanks so much Tommy!! I would never push myself to be involved so much. So the vicarious experience is priceless

The one-liner at the end! Classic SABBATICAL! Great content once again!

Great chemistry between you two. She brings the light out of you.

Bali is a super cool place if you're willing to go off the beaten path and ignore the IG tourist traps. Awesome to see you documenting the lesser known parts of the island! Loved the digital nomad clown 🤣

Even though Sabatical walks around most of the time in the sun he is still pale as Casper!

4K looking so crisp, thank you for upgrading your camera! ❤

I am in Bali right now and I had no idea that it would be the way it is so many people here working online and up to there necks in instagram posts (tourists or digital nomads as they go by) but it’s a lovely place and the locals and food are incredible still so many people here for the wrong reasons in my opinion

Good to see you my friend. Thank you for new video !

Thank you TOMMY and Mey..A beautiful Hindu ceremony..incredible experience..😮love the coffee/tea man..😊 Be safe..i get to travel the 🌎 thru ur eyes..ty

Another amazing video keep it up so interesting. Love the history tid bits

I love Bali. Been there twice. The first time I went in 2014 on a whim. I was invited by a friend. So I went. I didn’t even know where it was and had to look it up. It was a magical 3 weeks based in Ubud. All the ceremonies and offerings bring back memories. As a fellow NY’er I think you would appreciate some of my stories from that trip.

Best channel by far! Keep rocking in the free world

Thank you for all your videos.

As iam from west Australia it’s only about a 3 hour flight ; Bali we love it but also we respect it . People are lovely an it’s a great place to chill out at

i love vlog like this not much editing so relax to watch when i want to sleep

another banger by Sabbatical. thanks brother man

Fella your channel is fantastic !!!

Keep up the good work on your videos I love your range in languages

Nice vlog mate, have fun there 😊 nice place 🇮🇩❤️

Bro your first and last statements are true. It's so sad what the digi-mads have done to Bali. I use to go twice a year to surf and buy artwork during the 90's. Lived there in 2001, knew people killed at the Kuta bombing. I want to return so bad but the memories I have are too precious to be ruined by the way it is now. I always went alone, forced me to meet balinese people. I was taken to so many temple ceremonies and had unbelievable experiences. Very cool video!

Fantastic vlog mr bule

Still catching up on your vids …This is a great one. Thx

Tommy you're the man. Living the life other's dream of. Nuff respect for your hustle. Bless up Stay safe bro

As a non-bali Indonesian, I really love your interaction with the locals. And also you knowing the history is also pretty awesome. Cant wait to see more like this in another country

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I find solace watching your channel... I appreciate everything you do. 🤘❤️🤘

Looks like beautiful place I can see you're a very friendly guy God bless 🙏

Amazing as usual Tommy! Basically when someone says they’ve been to Indonesia when they visited for example Bali, you visited only part of it. Here they have Hindu tradition, where in other parts it’s muslim. Whatever it is, Tommy you are amazing, thanks for sharing everything with us!

Way to explore Bali! The ending was funny :D

The thing that puts me off of Bali is the influx of westerners & I’m American lol… When I’m traveling I don’t want to go to another California or Hawaii. I might give Bali a chance tho, I’m open minded 🇮🇩

I clicked for Mey and ofcourse you Tommy! Don't always comment but always like and watch the videos! Bali looks cool and the people seem very friendly even if you did have some trouble understanding one another!

Good to finally see that Bali still has more relaxed and pristine areas!

Bali is fun. In my opinion a great starting point for traveling through Asia. My buddy lives there so for me it was also a great reason for me to head out to Bali first. Fast forwarding years later I'm still exploring Asia and for me one of the continents I adore. My next trip will be Japan!

Thank You so much for showing the real Bali, as a Balinese, I'm really happy, God bless you my friend

amazing video. and no you telling the history does not bore anyone!

Another great video. I find this my favourite .

Good job with the ceremony 😊

I don’t normally comment, but I follow your adventures and I’d like to thank you for taking videos of your journey! I look forward to all your videos…

Such a great vlog man can’t wait for next one always wanted to go to Bali and hope you make merch soon & first one should be sabbatical travels the world & one day I want to go

What a cool experience dude! You do such a great job of showing other cultures. I love your editing style.

It’s admirable that you try to speak the local lingo and people do appreciate it. If you find them not that responsive, it’s probably because Balinese (like Javanese) is a stratified language with levels of speech. This basically means that there are different words to use based on who you’re speaking to and you have to establish your relationship with someone first before choosing the right level. Please don’t take it personally. You might be better off with Indonesian,since it doesn’t have that kind of levels of speech. 1:10 the banten (offerings) that you said a sign of Hinduism is actually one of the things that set Hinduism in Bali apart from Hinduism in India, but at the same time similar types of offering can be found all over Indonesia in various folk religions native to the archipelago. Another difference is of course the holidays and rituals, like the Aci ceremony that they let you partake in. 14:57 unlike koils or Hindu temples in India, pura or temples in Bali are not always dedicated to a single deity. There are temples that are designated to certain clans only, temples for certain professions, temples of the cardinal directions, etc.

Thanks for the Video...I could only see it from afar the last time I was in Bali...

"To many god damn white people" Perfect ending. 😆 And your newly found friend seemed very nice and beautiful as well, which is a bonus i guess. 😇 Keep it up and enjoy every minute as i know you do.. cheers mate!

Love it. I went to Bali back in 1999 - no such thing as digital posemads back then but was already very commercialised for tourists. I stayed in Nusa Dua so less brash than Seminyak but still had very much a resort feel. Would love to go back and see more of the place. Great upload as usual. Oh and nice co-host. Guaranteed a nice view! 😉

Great video. Bali is my second favorite place on earth.

Love it. Thank you

You guys are a real Prince and Apollonia on that bike 😂 This was beautiful Tommy. Thank you to you and Mae.

You the man Tommy!!! And she is gorgeous and cool as hell!!!!!

😂 I almost spit my coffee out with that intro, that was a good one.

Good attitude...very natural...thanks bro❤ GBU

Your language skills are the best bro! Any tips beyond the obvious? Thanks for the content sir

Hi Tommy, glad to watch this video. You are in Bali 😊. I was born in Buleleng. Notrhen Bali. It was in 1946. Bali has changed a lot.

You have that talent to interact with people fast 👌 Wish I had that to

Cool channel. I'll join. We spent another 17 days in Bali in March. West Bali National Forest! to Munduk, to Ubud. There is definitely a Bali beyond the thumping.

Yes, because Bali's beaches aren't too bad, but the interior of the island is totally spectacular. Don't go to Bali for the beaches, but for that.

0:07 lmao 😂 wasn’t expecting that declaration. Can’t wait to watch this 🎉

That Tegal tea man actually surprised me! That's a pretty good setup 👌👌

I really preferred Thai islands for scenery. But I really enjoyed being in Bali for Nyepi. We once again just missed each other in travels, Tommy!

Beautiful place

Sabbatical love the vlog series

Ooof the audio on this one was challenging. Little hard to watch but still a fan, man! Keep traveling!

Indonesian girl looks like she had a real great time on your visit Tommy 😊

Tommys demeanor and calmness makes every video informative and interesting. Tommy? Waktu kamu baca sama ini, terima kasih untuk video kamu. Setiap video, di Cina di Amerika Selatan, di Afrika, semua saya suka! Alhamdulillah!

beautiful experiences you had ,,, best wishes from coastal Goa, India

Been watching a good amount of your newer content lately. When Mei told you where the coffee came from, the reaction and sudden cut had me rolling 😂😂

wow all the spices and vegetables they grow in the forest looks cool

amazing bule channel, mantap ,i have subscribe broh 😂👍

Super interesting ceremonial there

Hands Down, Best Coffee Shop I've ever seen!! Can't wait to visit there one day. Enjoying a Coffee there would be an experience for sure🤙

Loved the video but i am someone that like to see both sides of things and chances are i will probably never visit Bali so i do like to see the touristic side of places also,i get it you want to get away from crowds but looking at all it has to offer is great as well.take care my friend.

I could listen to that music for quite some time. I find it relaxing, which somehow makes no sense to me as it's very intense. Maybe some hypnotic vibe transmitted.

That was the ultimate culture shock! Tommy with his shirt off!!! 🫣

wow that music they played went into my soul

Ah yes, I realise now that the coffee guy is doing that to all people haha. He stopped us on our scooter the same way, , the same guy, the same farm.... he must be doing back and forth on his scooter and waiting for a white guy to bring to his shop

1 guy talk to him in Indonesian, and he responded in indonesian… then another guy talked to him in spanish, and he responded in spanish. CIA operative confirmed indeed.

17:15 , you and your accompaning companion for the day ( by the way , you chose well ) , did wonderfully . I was almost able to gat a sense of being there . Carry on young friend .

Your friend is super cute and pretty 😘 I really enjoy the entire video 👍👍👍 btw ... please come to Toraja or Lake Toba, or even to Papua ... you'll see how the Christian majority places also have different touch, just like Bali with its Hindu character 😁 Honestly, it's very common, foreigners would think Indonesia looks the same like other Islamic countries ... but usually, as they explore more about Indonesia, this impression slowly changes, since there are many places in Indonesia that isn't Islamic at all

Kerennn... Pemandangan indah.. Dengan budaya yang kuat..

Showing the girl n sayin to viewers now u ll watch the video , is sarcasm of next level bro , just like ur content FAB ! 👍🤩👍

I was in bali a few months ago and that same coffee shop guy drove with us for a few miles until we went to his shop. Nice guy but quite persistent.

The jungle area looks very cool

Sick!!!! Keep it going
