I have been going to Bali for about five years now. The first time, co-working had just started with Hubud being the only one, and I believe they had been open for less than a year. It was pretty impressive, open air, bamboo architecture and overall unlike anything I have ever experienced.
It was what made me think I could work from anywhere. I enjoyed the skill sharing and even attended a programming boot camp. The internet speed was good for Bali, but not great compared to what I had living in Los Angeles.
Fast forward to 2018, I returned to Bali, and things have grown. I stayed in the Canggu area. What was once a sleepy surf spot has now blossomed into what I would call a kind of a Boho chic foody haven. Now there are many Coworking places to choose from in town.
I checked out DojoBali on this trip. The internet speed is much better, and
Also, now a good deal of the cafes and coffee shops have good internet as well, so for the cost of a latte or a breakfast burrito you can get some work done, have something to eat, and be back at the beach by the afternoon.
Bali indeed is not a secret anymore in the digital nomad world, and it shows. If you can work remotely, it is easy to get yourself set up and running quickly there.
