Christin Baumgarten reflects on her decade in Bali, noting that while the island has transformed into a startup hub, it has also become more crowded and expensive, questioning her family's long-term future there.
Bali has been a great place for me and my husband to raise our kids, but witnessing the drastic changes due to increased tourism has made me uncertain about staying permanently.
When I first arrived, Bali was just beginning to be recognized as an entrepreneurial hotspot, similar to Silicon Valley, providing valuable networking opportunities and a supportive community.
Initially, I faced loneliness in Bali, but the connections I made at networking events and my eventual family have made the island feel more like home.
