Join me as I travel from the luxury of the InterContinental Bali Resort to my new, more budget-friendly guesthouse in the popular area of Canggu. In this Bali travel vlog, I'm checking out of my 5-star hotel and ordering a Grab car for the journey. You'll get to see the real Bali traffic and listen in on a fascinating conversation with my local Balinese driver. https://jasonmichaelphillips.com/contact http://instagram.com/jasonmichaelphillips http://facebook.com/jasonmichaelphillips https://www.tiktok.com/@jasonmichaelphillips https://www.twitch.tv/jasonmichaelphillips Join channel to support my videos!

He also shares his favorite places to visit in Bali, like Amed and Kintamani, and we discuss the earthquake that happened the night before. You'll also learn about the incredible linguistic diversity in Indonesia, with over 72 local languages just on his home island of Komodo!
