My 1989 Canggu memories are still etched into my memory...And it is nothing like it is now...One road leading to the big beach rock and surfing Canggu...Only one derelict building facing the beach,cows in the paddocks,farms and nothing else...Progress can be good,but it also keeps me away too...Love your reporting...!!

Maybe Bali has reached it's stagnant state with way too many buildings ruining the island

Hey Jing, you wanna see all these short cuts from 4:30pm - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpzdbO2_go&t=330">5:30</a> you could be waiting 1 hour to get 400 - 500 metres in some cases. Congestion is insane. This could make for interesting content to see what its like during those peak pulses. Somewhat entertaining yet you see the frustrations on the faces of so many. Great reports !

I found your page last month and had been watching your videos since. At one time my husband and I were looking into Bali for potential place to retire one day. We looked at Canggu because a friend of mine lives there. She showed me around once during a video chat and it didnt look like a place we want to go to because of the crowds. <br>I know it's not great from business point of view, but it's actually nice to see it empty 😂

The Lovina area is booming this season. Our villa , Le Mirage villa Santai is experiencing solid bookings and our guests tell us its due to the more relaxed experience & amazing attractions in the north of Bali. Come & check it out sometime?

To see an Island and its communities getting destroyed by those masses of instagrammers, "investors" and digital nomads is heart wrenching :/

We live in East Bali and thought we might go to Lombok for a week away. 3 nights in Kuta, 2 nights in Senggigi. OMG Kuta is so full right now, mostly the younger crowd (90%). We were turned away from 5 restaurants in 1 night as they were 100% full. Senggigi is doing quite well but no where like as busy as Kuta. I have never seen anywhere in Bali as busy as Kuta Lombok in 20 years. I was shocked to be honest.<br>Heading home to Bali in the morning but looking at an almost finished villa in the morning on the way to the ferry.
