Digital Nomad Life in Bali

Is the dream lifestyle real?

Canggu, Bali has become the Silicon Valley of the tropics. Co-working spaces with 100mbps fiber back onto rice paddies. But is it paradise?

The Good

  • Community: You will meet entrepreneurs from everywhere.
  • Cost: You can live like royalty for $1,500/month.
  • Lifestyle: Surfing at sunrise, coding at noon, sunset beers on the beach.

The Bad

  • Traffic: The "shortcuts" are gridlocked with scooters.
  • Gentrification: Prices are rising fast.
  • Internet: It's fast, but power cuts happen.

Verdict: It's an incredible place to bootstrap a startup, provided you can handle the chaos.
