Snorkeling, snorkeling, snorkeling was fabulous. snorkeling we've ever done in our life. Multiple turtles out there.

YouTube Video Description↓

What does it cost to travel Bali for two months? Our nomad life in Bali, Indonesia, was amazing! We show you where we stayed, what we did and how much it cost. From beaches and snorkeling to lakes, temples, monkeys and rice fields. We went to multiple locations including the Gili and Nusa islands nearby. Then we spent several busy days in Bangkok, Thailand, and closed out this video in Siem Reap, Cambodia, at Angkor Wat seeing breathtaking ancient temples. Embarrassingly, we really did blow our budget these two months. We'll show you all of our accommodations with prices and every dime we spent so you can see where we went wrong. Call it a budget lesson to learn from our mistakes. We'll also show you ways we saved money and give you travel tips on Bali, the Gillis, Bangkok and Siem Reap, including info on ferries, drivers, tourist sites and more! And yes, we even went wine tasting in Bali!
