Asking Digital Nomads What They Do For A Living (Bali, Indonesia)

In this video, I traveled across the world to one of the biggest hotspots for digital nomads in Bali, Indonesia. I got to ask strangers a bunch of questions about what they do for a living, how much money they make, advice for others, and a bunch of other spicy questions about the lifestyle costs in Bali, business, and philosophy.

I've always wondered what types of people are working online in Bali, so make sure you watch the entire video because I was able to find a lot of really cool people with very interesting income streams and businesses!

I hope this video inspires you if you're looking to become a digital nomad and make money online! My goal is to motivate you guys with success stories from other people that are crushing it, so that you can learn from their experiences and replicate their success. There is so much opportunity out there and money is flowing all around us, and I think this video proves that there are so many creative ways you can make money online nowadays.

I think being a "passport bro" and having complete location and time freedom is the best lifestyle possible - and I was truly inspired getting to visit Bali. We filmed this video in late July 2023, during my 3 week trip to Australia, Bali, Jakarta, Singapore, and Tokyo! We stayed for about a week in an epic Villa in Bali: Villa Atas Ombak in Seminyak!

Bali was my dream destination for 10+ years and I'm so glad I finally got to go for a week! Thanks to everyone who talked to me for this video. It was truly inspiring to have these conversations and get a glimpse into what the Bali lifestyle is like. One day in the future, I'll be on my own digital nomad journey :)
To the viewers who want to be a digital nomad someday - you got this!!! It's entirely doable and living in places like Bali is actually quite affordable. You should be able to have an amazing lifestyle while spending 1-2k per month. Have a great day! -Charlie

Achieving success hinges on the steps you actively take toward it. Accumulating wealth involves cultivating positive habits, such as consistently setting aside money at intervals for robust investments. Financial management, often avoided by many, can later become a haunting issue. My hope is that anyone reading this finds success in their journey!

7:27 "When you start, it's not business it's personal development" - Philippe 💯

THE most amazing thing about all this is kids early in their 20's making my annual income monthly AND having a chill considerate mindset as well.
Amazing. Great interviews, well done. Thank you.
After decades of physical work, and being a time for money slave. I am starting to make the transition to digital global commerce. ✨️

[orgonbank]

I really love to see young people doing well and cracking the system. There is hope in this world.

If you live there permanently, you're an immigrant, not a digital nomad

[bee_lew]

Interview the locals man. A ton of local Balinese people are successful and have great stories to share :)

[DigitalAce]

I'm going to move to Bali and sell shirts. There must be a shortage. 😄

[nicholasrv]

i have lived in Bali 25 years, longer than most of the people being interviewed have been alive. When I first got here, Canggu was a tiny sleepy village full of tice fields and dirt roads. I made a lot of money exporting Indonesia made products to DIY companies around the world. Now retired, I moved away from the crazyoness of the south (seminyak, kerobokan, canggu etc) as it is just not my cup of tea, the traffic is insane, and there are too many people. Now living high in the mountains in a small farming village in a beautiful wooden house overlooking the sunrise over Mt Agung.
Good luck to all the youngsters down south, But I wouldn't go back there for all the tea in China.

[AwokenEntertainment]

every single person you interviewed has such a relaxed energy to them

[iwillwander]

Phillipe seemed to have some very wise suggestions. When you start it's not business it's personal development being one that sticks out. Loved this vid.

[amber]

It would be interesting to follow this up with interviewing locals, what they do, and their pay

[olivernordin]

Don't go the traditional route!
*Goes to Bali*

[reeeeneeustaquio]

As a 18 year old full time college student and part time barista, it’s crazy to see how people are in such different situations than mine.

[drkrpr]

Not afraid of failures. Wow!
I’m just amazed at these people. Living their best life, indeed!

[leninyoh]

Philippe, Adam, and Ethan presented with remarkable suavity and practicality, making the listening experience truly enjoyable.

[NatalieH]

Ola's energy is so sublime. Just about everyone featured is inspiring to listen to. You did a great job Charlie in capturing their essence and giving us some quality viewing.

[calebquimby]

finding people like this who are chasing their dreams shows me what is possible when I put in the work

[kgal]

Getting a fron end engineer job after a 3 month bootcamp alone is just wild to me because that's not the standard unless she had prior relevant experiecne.

Most of them come from wealthy families and are well set off. With that said it's going to cause a problem the more people move there, causing housing and other costs only to go up which the locals can't afford.
