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

Thank you for providing great content, as always.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Love your content brother keep up the great work!

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!

Always a treat, thanks so much for your videos Tommy

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

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!

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

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.

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 🤣

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

Fantastic vlog mr bule

Thank you for all your videos.

Best channel by far! Keep rocking in the free world

Way to explore Bali! The ending was funny :D

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

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

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! 😉

another banger by Sabbatical. thanks brother man

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!

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.

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.

"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!

Fella your channel is fantastic !!!

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.

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!

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

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…

I'm always amazed how you throw yourself into the culture and seem so at ease with the locals. Your commentary is always natural and unforced with just enough information to get the viewer to understand what's going on with out being oversold. Keep it up my friend. Safe travels.

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

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

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

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

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.

Another great video. I find this my favourite .

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

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.

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

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

Good job with the ceremony 😊

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🤙

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

Love it. Thank you

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

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

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 .

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 😂😂

"A place in Asia where White people fly across the world to hang out with other White people." That made me laugh so hard because that's why I haven't gone to Bali yet

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

Be careful as a tourist in Bali right now. If you are driving, I hope you have your international driver's license. They are cracking down on foreigners driving without the proper license. Too many bule making problems in Bali. But I know you are very respectful om 🙏

Tommy: Do you have your phone? Moto dude: I am from Spain.

Pretty crazy that some other traveldudes have millions of subscribers and you don't. You are the man we watch. You should visit Sweden some day. Hit me up if you go to Stockholm or Uppsala. 👍🍻

Sabbatical love the vlog series

luwak coffee is truly one of the most highly regarded types of coffee in the world. what an incredible experience!!

17:14 - I love this little interaction

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

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

Tommy you're the best, but some eye candy helps the travel video 😅❤. Keep up the great work, and being a good humanitarian.
