Being part of a coworking space with a strong digital nomad network makes a huge difference in happiness and productivity.

Q. Are you a freelancer, entrepreneur, or working remotely for a company?

I do a bit of everything – real estate, crypto and remote work as a media buyer. Yes, I’m the one behind those online ads you see!

Q. What are the biggest challenges of being a digital nomad in Bali?

The rainy season in Ubud? Just kidding! The real challenge is constantly adapting to new environments while being away from family and friends. It takes a lot of energy and focus to build new relationships when people are always coming and going.

Q. How has your experience been at Outpost Ubud?

Outpost has been a game-changer for me. Having two coworking spaces to switch between keeps things fresh, and the community events make it easier to connect with like-minded remote workers. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. My only request? More events in the morning for those of us working in European and U.S. time zones!

Q. What’s been your craziest experience in Bali?

Trying to set up a company here. I’m amazed by how difficult it has been. Opening a bank account as a foreigner in Indonesia is a next-level challenge. If you’ve done it, you know exactly what I mean!

Q. How important is the digital nomad community to you?

For me, community is everything. It doesn’t matter if you’re an introvert or extrovert; as humans, we all need connection. Being part of a coworking space with a strong digital nomad network makes a huge difference in happiness and productivity.
