A day in my life as a freelance web designer in Bali.
6:00am. Clyde needs a walk. We catch the sunrise together before the rest of the world wakes up. First coffee in hand by 6:30. There is no better start to a day.
By 7 I am locked in at my home office. No commute, no open plan office noise, just me, my screen and the work.
Sounds perfect right? Most days it is.
But then a storm rolls in and kills the power. A client needs something urgent and the internet is down. Or it is just one of those days where you miss being able to walk into a room with your client and figure things out face to face.
That part nobody talks about.
The thing that makes it worth it though? Bali attracts builders. Entrepreneurs, designers, developers all figuring things out in the same place. The conversations over coffee here have solved more problems for my business than any course or podcast ever did.
Would you trade your 9 to 5 for this?
