Mom Found Her Bali Happy Place #balivlog

Mom Found Her Happy Place in Bali — Bali Buda, Kerobokan Mom doesn't get excited about much anymore. At 82, you've seen a lot. Done a lot. Most things don't move the needle. But Bali Buda? Bali Buda moves the needle. Every day living here, Mom and I are reminded how much a healthy diet matters. Not in a lecture kind of way. Just in the quiet, obvious way that comes from actually eating well and feeling the difference. Bali Buda has been part of Bali since 1994. Over 30 years of organic, locally sourced, MSG-free food — handmade bread baked fresh daily, jamu elixirs, wholesome mains, vegan cakes, organic groceries, zero waste ethos. It started as a humble health food store and became a community institution. There's nothing like it back home. And we don't take it for granted. This Sunday we finally made the trip to Kerobokan. Mom had that look. You'll see it. #BaliFood #Over50 #BaliLife #RetireAbroad #SlowLiving #BaliExpat MUSIC: Lope: Sweet Thing Ivy-Rose Lyon: Just Got Eyes For You Johan Glossner: Sweet Tangerines Wildflowers: Free Mind Peter Sandberg: Summertime Daydream Redeemin': Walking Through Barceloneta Martin Klem: True Blessings Ten Towers: Only This Matters Welcome to Retired Life in Bali! We're a mother-daughter duo, living our best abundant lives in beautiful Bali. I'm Debbie. Watch this to find out how I moved to Bali here:    • Laid Off at 47, then MOVED TO BALI to RETI...   My Mom is Linda...this is her story:    • At 79, Mom's Living ONLY on Social Securit...   I (your host Debbie) moved here in 2018 at 49, seeking a major life change after a layoff and years of career instability. In 2023, I encouraged my mom, Linda (who was 79 at the time and also laid off at 78) to join me. With her social security income, she's able to live a comfortable and fulfilling life right next door! We both love eating healthy, drinking energizing juices, and embracing a dynamic, positive attitude. Bali has offered us an affordable alternative lifestyle away from the hustle of Los Angeles, allowing us to thrive in retirement.
