My first day in ULUWATU, BALI (better than Canggu?) 🇮🇩

Welcome to my first day in Uluwatu, Bali – a stunning region on the southern tip of Bali full of jaw-dropping cliffs, a vibrant surf culture, famous beaches, and world-class sunsets. I’ve been dying to come here ever since I arrived in Indonesia, so without further ado, welcome to a day in my life here in Uluwatu, Bali!

➡ ABOUT ME
My name is Crosby and I'm a solo traveler, digital nomad, and full-time traveler! After a few corporate jobs throughout college, I quickly realized that the 9-5 lifestyle wasn’t for me. So in 2019, I took the leap into the freelance world and started traveling the world full-time – from solo traveling Mexico to road tripping Portugal to living in a travel trailer, I'm absolutely addicted to this lifestyle. At the moment, I'm traveling solo around Indonesia and documenting everything here on YouTube!

Enjoying all your content! Have fun on all your trips! Enjoy a coffee!

Interesting to watch your videos as it is like you are following my journeys but twenty to thirty years later.

All the places we both stayed in are kind of same-same but different. I imagine you will look back in thirty years time as you watch some other persons vlog visiting the places you went to and be as interested as I am to see the changes and will experience the mixed feelings I have to see how they developed.

I lived in Sayulita in 1993, before moving to Puerto Escondido for bigger better surf and enjoyed watching your videos on both those places.

I first travelled to Bali in 1984 and had a miserable time ( me at fault not Bali !) so I didn't return until 1995 the start of a long stay in Bingin ( Uluwatu). There were just four warungs on the beach then, and the deal was you could sleep in them for free if you bought dinner and some drinks. There were no places at all to stay in Bingin, just a little village full of happy Balinese and most nights I fell asleep to the sounds of the surf, cowbells and gamelan music played in the nearby temples.
I had planned on a two month trip to Bingin, but ended up building a place there, and helped some of the expat pioneers build their places there too. I sold my place in Bingin and moved out in 2009 coz it was getting way too busy for my tastes.

I was in Peru in 2018 and Mexico City / Yucatan in 2019, also in your videos. It will be interesting to see if you make it to my other favourite places. Egypt, (it seems you didn't make it there yet, I highly recommend it), Japan ( for being a truly unique experience due to so many things being different, I went over 40 times in an 11 year period of having a Japanese girlfriend), and the small remote Indian Ocean island where I now live. Keeping the location a secret, coz such rare treasures are becoming fewer and fewer as "development" spreads, those who deserve it will find it.

Wishing you safe and happy travels and thank you for enabling me

[KatarinatrickXD]

[travelwithchristina]

I’ve really been loving all your content. It’s very helpful for someone looking to visit or work remotely in these countries. Thank you for all your amazing videos ❤

[travel_with_Pat]

Great video. Thx! Since i'm going to Bali in less than 2 weeks now for the 1st time, i'm so pumped haha! Uluwatu looks AWESOME!

[tamaravaughan]

Thanks, Crosby. Such great information and what a gorgeous place!! I'm a boomer and plan to slow travel when I retire in 4 years. Even though we are a few generations apart, I appreciate the same things you do: a variety of cultures, FOOD!, yoga, beautiful places, and you are comfortable traveling alone. I prefer to travel alone because you can 100% stick to your agenda and not compromise. As a boomer woman, I'm done compromising my time😅 But I really do appreciate all the effort and time you put into your work, and I'm learning so much from your experiences. Can't wait for your next video! 💗

[indo]

Can’t wait for your next video! Please tell us about the differences. Love love love!

[alexandwhite]

Should check out nyang nyang beach in Ulu! I like that one since it isn’t as packed 🙌🏻

[wojongo]

Excellent work. Great video all around. Beautiful shots and editing

[JJLEE]

Their 100% different. Canggu you can access the Party scene, amazing restaurants/cafes, and beach clubs. It's OVERALL just more "developed" with western amenities. I only got to stay in Uluwatu for about 2-3 days which I was sad about. Uluwatu is just waaaay more relaxed. Surf town vibes. Also, beautiful beach clubs because the beaches are just INSANE. All in all with a scooter there both only about 45 minutes from each other. It's honestly crazy how different the landscapes are.

[JessicaSavano]

Amazing vlog, girl! I'm moving there next month! Hope to see you around!

[BronxCat-nf]

From New Jersey go to Bali - Indonesia right away ✌️

[scottman]

Uluwatu looks absolutely beautiful! I never had a chance to go there when I was in Bali a few years ago, but I can really tell that I would like it for sure. I would love to see a video where you compare Canggu with Uluwatu!

[YOURhimera]
