The Real Deal : WELCOME TO BALI

As some of you may know I have left Liverpool once again in search of another adventure and I choose Bali because I have never ventured to to that part of the world before. However this time my adventure isn't so glamorous. I will be working full time, This is good for me to improve my skills, knowledge and experience but who likes to work ?. It would be perfect if I just had a unlimited money supply and time to travel the world non-stop but I have to stop dreaming and get my head down. This time for me it was quite hard leaving Liverpool because I felt for once , everything was running smooth, I had my family around me I felt so happy, healthy and had the best friends in the world and I met someone I liked. The only thing that was wrong was my job I hated it so when the job offer from Bali came along and it was so hard to pass up the opportunity and I know deep down if I had of turned it down I would live to regret it.

So I am currently living the life of an "Expat" which means (A person taking up residency in another country).

My home :

I rent a little room for about £130 per month , it's so nice owned by a little family with a new puppy called Lilly and nice neighbours , it's not too far from shops and work. I also rent a scooter too so it's easy to get from place to place.

Imagine the map of Bali the shape of a chicken..

Well my location is the feet..

So as you can see there is a lot of Bali to explore.

My Job:

I am currently on a 6 month management trainee internship programme working for an amazing 5* hotel resort, however it does have its difficulties, one of them- the language barrier resulting in bad communication with staff resulting in mistakes being made, however the more time i spend with them the more we are able to understand each other and i do make mistakes but that is part of the learning process, i realise i fucked up , i fix it then it doesn't happen again haha. But overall i am embracing my time here and i am having a blast. learning and meeting new people nearly everyday and starting good friendships with staff and of course how could i forget the beautiful views:
