Our deepest condolences to you and your family mate. I know its been a while but I know the memories are still with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all 🙏♥️
I've been offered several jobs in Bali but it will not cover my Aussie mortgage. I'm now renting out the spare rooms in my Oz house. At $200/room a week, 4 rooms will definitely cover my mortgage. I've been a sole parent for over 2 decades. I have 3 more rooms that I can rent out, once I move stuff to the back shed (it's big). But I just got offered a Head Chef position at a new restaurant here in Perth. 2 of my cooks are Balinese and the Head Chef at our sister restaurant is from Jakarta. Maybe, in time, I can bring my fiancè out to Oz, sponsored through my work? He's an amazing cook. Then we can save up for our dream of living on Gili Trawangan and having our own restaurant. We all need goals and hopes 🙏🏻
I have lived in 5 different countries. (Army bratt & gypsy blood running through my veins). When I moved for NZ to AU I went with a suitcase and a handbag. When I moved to Bali during the pandemic I came with 1 lrg and 1 medium suitcase plus a 7kg carry on bag. Learning how to leave stuff behind is a lesson.. the hardest thing I left in NZ was my waterbed lol.. the hardest thing I left when moving here was my grown kids and my grand kids.. fortunately I will get to go back and visit with them.. 😊
So sorry to hear about your sister mate. 🙏🏽 You hit the nail on the head about how difficult and complicated it can be to move to Indonesia. It's not all roses and unicorns, it takes hard work, determination and honesty with yourself to make it work. If you're back in town in a couple of weeks I'd love to buy you a wee glass of something cold and frothy at the HGB, assuming Ron hasn't barred both of us 😁🍻
G'day Muzza, Have had you and your sister in my thoughts many times over the last few weeks......and had a moment of enlightenment that I truely mean with the GREATEST OF RESPECT AND LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL SISTER....... I hope you dont mind me sharing, but I think I'm meant to..... What an Amazing , Strong and Beautiful Woman your SISTER IS.....THAT THROUGH EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON SHE WAS STILL COMPLETELY FOCUSED ON HOLDING ON TO MAKE SURE YOU COULD SEE HER....EVEN FOR JUST A MOMENT SO YOU GOOD SAY GOODBYE..... SHE IS AN ANGEL MATE AND HER LOVE AND RESPECT FOR YOU AND HER RELATIONSHIP IS BEYOND MEASURE. ❤🙏🌟
Good on ya mate, I can see emotion in your eyes and voice. Your a good man and everything will work out for you. Hardest thing is letting go of things that have become attached to you. I feel you as i'm going through that same process right now and want to follow your dream also of living in Bali.
I know how you feel. I emptied a three story house and downsized into 10 medium boxes to ship over from the states.. best thing is too be practical on what to take and learn to let go of what you cannot take.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. I found your videos on you tube last year before a mate and I went to Kuta. We had a blast and your videos were so helpful. I could help but notice you were in Bathurst. Bathurst is my home town so if there’s anything I can do to help you please let me know. Take care pal.
Really feeling for you and family on this one Murray. Saying it how it is mate, something you're so good at... But it hurts as all when that reality is turned on you during events like these. You're one solid guy. Remember to also give yourself a break. Cheers mate
I traveled to Bali with a mate for the first time in May this year and absolutely loved it. I discovered you and your videos on Facebook and here on TH-cam not long after arriving back in Australia. Your videos are amazing and give a great insight into Bali and so much more. I’m curious as to why you have all your things in shipping containers in New Zealand and not back home in Australia? Considering you live in Bali and come home every so often to Aus
Moving is bloody traumatic regardless of how far you are going! Muzza, I am ever so sorry for your loss. I know how much you adored your sibling. Deaths, divorces and moving are the most traumatic events so they say.
It strikes me that many people who look to move to SE Asia because they are ready living in tight financial circumstances, this men’s (to me) that even with the lower cost of living there is little or no safety net in case of medical emergency or similar. I am surprised you are taking a lot of stuff with you, your explanation notwithstanding. If you’re going to worry about what everyone back in Australia then maybe heading overseas isn’t something you should consider. My wife and I will move to SE Asia , however we will leave our assets here, and rent what we need overseas, we give ourselves the ability to leave at the drop of a hat. I do feel for your angst at leaving family, you’re clearly very close to them, and the sad loss of your sister must have been very emotional for you. I like your advice about “try before you buy” . Thanks for n interesting video about your journey.
Mate, thankyou for your vieos and my most sincere condolences for your loss. The couple time si have visited Bali and my last visit, got me thinking about retiring there. I have skills i can bring to Bali with my automotive spare parts and mechanical experience. I would like , if you could, for you to do a vlog on importing your car to Bali. I have an inherited LAndrover that i would bring with me. Keep these vieos up mate and when i come up again soon, i'll send you a message to catchup . P.S your wife has a great sence of humour and she seems like a lovely and wonderful person.
Condolences to you and your family for the passing of your sister. Cut yourself off from all your stuff, send it to auction. Take a few thing back whatever you can manage and give some to friends to bring over for you, the rest will be history. You have enriched your life hugely living in Bali.
HI Ya Muzza, my deepest condolences to you and your family for your sister. I never miss a video and you are someone who really I relate to. Im an army Vet and you remind me of my army mates, someone real who makes time for mates and people, coudos to you. I would be proud to call you a friend, hope to meet one day. all the best CJ
So sorry to hear about your sister. Leaving family behind in another city or country is the hardest thing I've found. Trying Bali out for a couple of months is very good advice. Another thing people moving to Bali is even though the exchange rate is good at the moment, it does fluctuate. We've experienced a lot lower than the current exchange rate. Not meaning to be pessimistic just cautionary.
Visa are easy to get. Especially retirement visa. Use a good local visa agent. It is not complicated. The first visa will cost around $1300 to $1500 aus. There are plethora of areas you can stay in other than Sanur (sanur is ok many australains living there if thats what you like) Denpasar, Renon, Tabanan, Sakawati, Gianyar, Candidasa go north to Singarjar. All are good areas. Life would not be difficult in Bali it would be wonderful.
When i moved to Aussie from nz i ended up just giving everything away, because to sell it wasn't worth it id rather give it to friends and family than take a big loss and sell my tools and equipment for next to nothing to people i dont no.
So happy that when I return to Indonesia in a few years, I'll have no connections of any kind linking me back to the USA. No reason to come back. As to stuff, it's always cheaper to convert what you have to money and repurchase in your country of choice.
I think it’s cheaper to sell what you can live without and buy the same thing or something similar over there. Yeah, I know you cannot get what you have from years past. I think it’s more less becoming attached to materialistic things.
I seriously think a new business would be to be a guide for anyone wanting to move to Indonesia. I just don't have enough knowledge yet. I want to move to Indonesia and marry my fiancè. I have had to take it slow. I thank you for your videos 🤗

Bear in mind too, that February 2024 is the Indonesian general election. There will be a new president, which may stir things up regarding visas etc.
Cheer up mate, You live in paradise. 😎 look you up when I next visit. 🏖️👍
One of your best. Heartfelt and so true. Condolences to you and your family.
Really good insight Muzza that sometimes we don’t necessarily take into account.
I have lived in 5 different countries. (Army bratt & gypsy blood running through my veins).

Oh crap.. sorry to hear about sis. Keep on doing the videos mate, keep the mind busy - might catch up with you there on the next trip.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. I found your videos on you tube last year before a mate and I went to Kuta. We had a blast and your videos were so helpful. I could help but notice you were in Bathurst. Bathurst is my home town so if there’s anything I can do to help you please let me know. Take care pal.
Muzza, you so self-less!
Bali and Vie love you so much.
Bali was where you were meant to be!
So sorry for your loss.
Sincerest Condolences regarding your sister bro...
🙏🙏🙏
Passing on my condolences to you mate, head up
Really feeling for you and family on this one Murray.

I was there in May. Where do you stay?
I lived there for the past few years until Covid screwed it all up
Moving is bloody traumatic regardless of how far you are going!
Muzza, I am ever so sorry for your loss.
I know how much you adored your sibling.
Deaths, divorces and moving are the most traumatic events so they say.
We have a mate over there & we used to bring his tools over on each flight, and other friends would do the same.
Great idea.
Moe mai raa tuahine! (Rest In Peace Sis) Love to you Muzz always from home (NZ)
Stay strong Muzza. So sorry to hear about your sister. Sending our love.
Sorry to hear about your sister Muzz, i will be in Sanur in October briefly after a dive trip. Catch up for a Frothy would be great mate. Take care.

Money is the issue..
@@oringo556 oh why money an issue
@@mauriziobali8840 can't live in Bali for free, you need an income
@@oringo556 correct. Retirement Visa most people will have a pension or superannuation that's all you need.
@@mauriziobali8840 how much pension is needed?
When i moved to Aussie from nz i ended up just giving everything away, because to sell it wasn't worth it id rather give it to friends and family than take a big loss and sell my tools and equipment for next to nothing to people i dont no.
It really is starting from scratch

I here bro but there only possession what price do we put on happiness, it can take a lifetime to find.
I've spent 4.5 months in Indonesia this year. Trying to understand better.
Hi Muzza wish I could of met you at Bathurst. My home town 😊❤
