The tragic death of George Floyd at the hands of the American police has turned all eyes of the world on the global pandemic which is racism. This has been my most nerve wracking podcast episode yet. With the world in complete turmoil and with everyone on edge, the possibility of saying the wrong thing in an already volatile situation almost forced me to postpone or cancel tackling this subject altogether. After taking time to grieve for George Floyd and the ongoing issue of racism I felt like I had to use my voice, my white privilege and my platforms to play whatever part I can in helping to move towards a more tolerant and united world. I decided to script this episode because of the information and the points I wanted to give. I wrote and rewrote the script 18 times to make it as impactful as I possibly could. It’s delivered more as a monologue and less of a discussion. If ever there was an episode I would like you to listen to or watch then it would be this one. As always I welcome your feedback and constructive conversation to anything I have said in this episode. I would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of George Floyd and to the Black Lives Matter movement

As we approach June of 2020 and with the world having over 5 million confirmed cases of Covid-19, I look at why Bali of all places may be immune to the Coronavirus Having been in Bali before, during and likely after the pandemic, I have had a first hand insight to the procedures that have been taken and the day to day life of what it’s like to live here through this time In this episode I really stick my head above the parapet for the first time to discuss a subject that sees the world divided, which leaves myself exposed to conversation, criticism and even perhaps censorship. This would mean my podcast wings could be clipped before I have even had the chance to fly but that's a risk I’m willing to take in order to maintain my integrity and to create real conversations In this episode I discuss: The very low coronavirus statistics in Bali compared to the rest of the world How herd immunity may have been built in Bali in late 2019 The things that all of westerners living here in Bali have in common Why we shouldn’t be focused on being vaccinated but more so focusing on self care How staying at home, safe distancing, wearing masks etc has a detrimental impact on our health This wasn’t an othrodox podcast episode but one I thoroughly enjoyed doing as it was me giving my own informed opinion rather than regurgitated nonsense from the mainstream media I would really value your input more than ever on this one and welcome informed conversations and opinions.

The Indonesian island of Bali is an unmistakable paradise which is why it’s well renowned for being one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. You will have to go some distance to find a place which has been engulfed with tourism in recent years, but still manages to harness the deep rooted cultures, religions and traditions. With over 6 million tourists passing through Bali every year it can become a bit of a melting pot of east meets west which doesn’t always result in positive outcomes. This week's podcast guest is American Sean who travels with his girlfriend Stacey. To fund their travels they work online as social media managers which has allowed them to visit Bali several times throughout the last couple of years. Bali is their second home and one they have grown accustomed to. They have immersed themselves in the local culture by spending time around the island and especially in the eastern jungle where they have even made some lifelong friends in the Balinese people. What was once a safe haven took a sour turn when Sean and Stacey were on their way home after an evening meal which is when they were attacked in an attempted robbery on their scooter. The darker side of the island, which unfortunately so many are initially unaware of but have gone on to experience, Sean and Stacey never thought it would happen to them. In this episode we discuss the sensitive events which unfolded that night, their experience of a Balinese hospital, the crazy way in which the Indonesian police dealt with the crime and the mental and physical scars which will take time to heal. An episode not to be missed if you are in Bali or plan to visit here at some point in the future.
