Bali Insiders Karlie Cummins

It’s been a while…we know!!



So, this is our first 2024 pod, we’re sorry – life and business has been crazy in all wonderful types of ways! It’s taken us a while to get on track this year, and part of that is sourcing a new home for the podcast, we hope you like it as much as we do!



In this episode, not only do you get to see our new podcast home and get a quick update on where we are at, but we are taking you through everything you need to know about arriving in Bali in 2024. Things have changed, and if you get yourself organised early…. you can get yourself out of the airport much more quickly these days!



All of the links to what we discuss can be found here: https://balibuddies.com/travel_tips/arriving-in-bali/

The best of both worlds….



The talented duo behind Bali Event Hire have created a hugely successful business in Bali, but they still call Australia home. Sarah and Vanessa are the vibrant duo behind Bali’s most well known furniture and decor hire business, we sat them down for a hilarious chat.



We discussed all about how the idea of the business came about, how they started it, and how they make a business work in Bali while still living in Australia!

IA-CEPA ECP Katalis (Katalis) is a bilateral, government-backed economic cooperation program supporting strong, sustainable and inclusive trade and investment between Indonesia and Australia. 

We sat down with Holly from the Katalis team to learn more about how this program is supporting Australian and Indonesian businesses and business people to increase two-way trade and investment between Australian and Indonesia.

Holly gives us examples of both small and large scale projects that Katalis is working with, and all the info you need to explore more about the program. 

This is a really interesting chat to understand some of the ways that Australia and Indonesia are working together at becoming stronger neighbors!
