In a recent video, the vlogger, Shenaz, shared how living in Bali could be a better and even cheaper option compared to dealing with the rising real estate costs in Indian cities. She expressed that one could bring in luxury at the international location for the cost at which one would only manage to get a 1BHK in Mumbai.
The video opened with travel vlogger pointing out that she was paying more rent for her one-bedroom apartment in Mumbai than her friend was spending on a villa in Bali.
“I pay more rent for my one bedroom apartment in Mumbai than my friend pays for her villa in Bali,” she said.
As the clip continued, Shenaz gave viewers a tour of the Bali villa — a peaceful, nature-filled stay. From spacious rooms and open balconies to a lush garden and a private pool, the villa offered everything one could ask for.
Sharing the reel online, she captioned it with a question that’s on many minds: “Why are so many people moving to Bali?”
She recommended Bali as an ideal place to live, highlighting its low cost of living, vibrant lifestyle, and remote work-friendly environment. Describing it as a "wellness capital," she wrote, "People burnt out by city life often move here to slow down and heal".
She also called its social life and dating scene fun. "It's a mix of fun, flirtation, and freedom", she wrote. "It’s easy to meet people from around the world — whether you’re at a beach club, a breathwork class, or a networking brunch", Shenaz added.
Her video quickly went viral and gathered more than 10,000 likes from netizens.
