Canggu

And it's just – see, sometimes they ruin places by overdeveloping.

Pretty much in Bali, the same goes for anything that's sort of – from Kuta sort of going, heading west to Seminyak and Canggu and places like that because it's just been overdeveloped.

When I first went to Seminyak, if people haven't been to Bali.

It used to be just a nice little village and there were lots of rice patties around it and there was one Italian restaurant on the beach.

Could have walked.

This podcast, we've moved from Pararanan to Canggu.

So we're probably 5Ks.

Yeah.

And then I said...

No, I did, and then I said, "Where are you staying?" And he's like, "Canggu." And I was like, "Oh, Josh is staying in Ubud."

Very far, big distance.

Yeah, but like, yeah, he might be like, "Oh, I'm going to Ubud next week," or something, but he didn't.

No, he just, uh, he was-

Or he could've said, "We're gonna go down to Canggu.

We should get a beer."

But then it's the whole thing of, "Oh, just so you know, I'm gay." 'Cause you're gonna think, "Oh, Aussies aren't...

We're doing like one month on one month off.

We're in sort of central Canggu and we love central Canggu, but we realized, oh, I don't think I want to be here permanently.

It's just a bit too busy.

So we've moved like maybe 10 minutes down the road and we feel like we're at home now.

It's kind of like, yeah, mid-40s plus is the Senua playground.

They tend to love it there.

Very few 40 pluses are asking me for Canggu or Ulu.

Some Seminyak, probably.

Because... asia has that it's just so peaceful it's so relaxed here it's it's incredible quality of life and the the wellness facilities and people care about the health and the wellness and it's just absolutely spectacular in that sense um Koh Samui's been wonderful.

I still want to explore another part of Bali, like Canggu and Sessa specifically, because there's some gyms there that I want to go to, and I've just heard good things, but I kind of want to see for myself.

But then, the thing that it doesn't have, though, that Latin America has, is Latin America just makes me feel alive, right? like latin america just um it fills my cup like to put it i don't have another way to put it honestly like latin america just makes me feel alive i'm still taking spanish lessons like three times a week i'm the only shows i'm ever watching on netflix they're in spanish i'm writing in spanish like i just published um we're about to publish a sub stack blog in spanish like the spanish and the latin culture is just something that that is just genuinely it feels like home to me it excites me um and yeah it's like of all the skills that i've learned and all the new hobbies and passions and interests that i've explored over the last like four or five years the only thing that has been consistent in all of that is Has been learning Spanish.

And then kind of like dancing.

I just know in my gut what it is that is meant for me and just trusting this intuitive piece of it's time for something new.

Same with the decision that I made to leave Canggu this year.

I spent four years building the most incredible, beautiful life in Canggu.

I had the best community, the best routine, the best business, but I just knew that it's time for a change.

This isn't it.
