    I left your episodes running all day long to increase your watch hours because I often do not play your videos long enough to earn income for you as I opt out watching Ads in full length!
    I selected a year ago on purpose.
    When I came home today this episode was playing.
    When Ben said you 2 travel to meet people I was suddenly taken back in time.....to my years on Oahu.
    Polynesians and Asians who inhabit the Island(s) are welcoming in the same way your Balinese hosts were for you! Tears ran down my cheeks as I recalled that feeling I know your felt by being "adopted" for a short while by locals.
    I worked at Wheeler Air Force Base while living there. The locals would always bring me and others the tastiest of food. They had such pride in giving me a plate of Pansit (angel hair pasta dish) that was out of this world delicious!
    Thank you for documenting your experience they brought back so much Aloha brada Ben and sista Ashey!

    Both of you are great ambassadors of the west and I salute you for that ! Slowly you have become the best " sailing" show on TH-cam. A perfect combination of travel, sailing and touristy stuff. Bravo ! Hope to see you out and about in our wonderful world...

    I can relate. I first lived in Mexico 33 years ago. So much less commercial and less crowded. Now, everywhere caters to tourists in my area, and even the ruins have shops in them to sell junk souvenirs. There are undeveloped Beaches and Ruins, you just have to look and know! Thanks guys.

    I worked and lived in Bali and Indonesia.
    My friend was the Indonesian Ambassador to China.
    He shared with me that the performance at the end of your video used to be performed traditionally.
    There used to be a lot more blood and stabbing but changed it because clearly
    that would be too much for tourists :)

    I think Bali has many different experiences depending on where you stay and what you visit. The touristic places like Kuta, Seminyak, Canggu, Sanur, Denpasar are too crowded, but you still can find desert beaches and pristine places with little to no one and experience the culture and the Balinese people.
