Bali Buddies has grown into a digital powerhouse, offering genuine, firsthand reviews and invaluable tips for Bali adventures, making it particularly appealing to Australians seeking unforgettable experiences on the Indonesian island.

In her conversation with Renae, Karlie sheds light on the challenges and joys that came with moving her family from Australia to Bali as her business expanded. She discusses everything from navigating visas to securing housing and successfully managing a global business.
