Bali Chick: Local

Who is Bali Chick?

DJ, Music and Travel Blogger, Photographer. Currently working as Resident DJ for Shangri-La Resort and Spa and living in The Maldives.

How did it all begin? In June 2011 I was laid off from my Corporate 9-5 office job. In conjunction with this, I was going through a break up. Ultimate freedom and possibility was on the horizon. It scared me a lot at first, but was also exhilarating, the feeling of having nothing.

Although I didn't see it clearly at the time, these two things were just the kick in the ass I needed to listen to my hearts truth. For me, that was leaving the hustle and bustle of Vancouver and making my home on the magical island of Bali, Indonesia.

I was sick of the 9-5 rat race grind. I was bored to death of waiting for my bus every morning in the rain, going to a job where I was helping someone else achieve their dreams. I knew the way out. I knew I wanted ultimate freedom, and that for me, is travel. You create change. Buy a plane ticket. Get a house-sitter. Network. Don't think too much, plan a bit. Say goodbye and just go.

This blog is about listening to yourself and following your dreams. I will post about my day to day life and write reviews on restaurants, local artisans and bring awareness to current issues on the island of Bali. It will be a combination of posts, reviews, photographs, videos, and because I am a DJ, I will also post new music that I find and tracks that I love and want to share with you.
