What Life is REALLY like as a Digital Nomad in Bali: How to Make Money & Travel Tips

In this first ever podcast episode of The Nomad: Bali edition, Nancy interviews Ylva, a remote worker from Sweden who now lives and works from Canggu, Bali. After several failed attempts at sustaining the digital nomad lifestyle, Ylva finally found a remote role that allowed her to build financial stability, reconnect with her creativity, and create a more grounded life abroad.

We cover everything from freelancing, finding remote jobs on Indeed, the emotional toll of failing, and the importance of community to the mindset shifts that helped her finally make it work. Whether you're planning to move to Bali or want to turn your freelance work into a sustainable career abroad, this conversation is full of real insight and practical steps.
