I don't know if you've ever seen these before, but this is a 100 dollar bill, and I don't mean to flex on y'all, but this is a lot of money. Now what can you do with $100? Well, first of all, you could go out for dinner and drinks with your significant other, you could buy like 17 orange mocha Frappuccinos, and you could buy 250 cents. - [50 Cent] Yeah. - And of course, you could also learn all my tips and tricks and secrets to how I edit, link down below. Anyways, now the real purpose of today's video is to actually show you how far you can stretch 100 US dollars while traveling to a beautiful tropical paradise, such as Bali, Indonesia, so to start off today's video we're gonna be starting it off, where you will be, at the Denpasar Airport, so let's go ahead and cut right to the video. (rhythmic music) I don't know how many of you guys are millionaires, I definitely am not, until I came to Indonesia, where for about $70 US, you can become a millionaire. So now we have exchanged our 100 US, we are now holding 1.41 million Indonesian rupiah. My goal is to make this last three days, enjoyably. We're not gonna starve ourselves. So this right here is stage one of taxis, and unless you're spending the big money then you're not gonna be coming here. Just as we exit the terminal, this is like phase two of the taxi drivers, and this is when they typically like to swarm, they can be quite good salesmen, and sometimes I do take this method to get home, because it's quick and convenient, but the best price I've ever got from here to Canggu is about 170,000 Indonesian rupiah or about like 14 US dollars. That's quite expensive, so I'm gonna show you a way you can do it for literally one third of the price. Taxi, how much to Canggu? - It's 500. - [Christian] 500? - Yes. - [Christian] What's your best price though? - That's the normal price. - [Christian] That's normal price? - Yeah, it's around one hour from here. It's high season in Bali this moment. - [Christian] High season right now. - Yeah. - Can you do 150,000? - 150, that's not possible. - [Christian] Not possible, what about 170? - Sorry. - No can do, alright thank you. - [Taxi Driver] Hey boss, hey. - [Christian] Yeah? - [Taxi Driver] Three. - [Christian] 300, can you do 170? - 170, impossible boss. - [Christian] Not possible, that's okay. - Excuse me 250 okay, let's go. - [Christian] 250, no that's still too much. - No too much, around $20, boss. - That's a lot! I was driven for 170,000 just three days ago. - Yeah, I know, I know. - But you can't do that? - Follow me. - I know you. - Do you? - Tom Cruise, do you remember? - [Christian] He's my taxi driver, it's Tom Cruise. What's up man? - Yes, welcome to Bali. - He actually drove me last time and he has a subwoofer in the back of his car, I would pay extra for him. But if you're on a budget, like we are in today's video, you're gonna wanna walk straight outside of the airport, you're basically not gonna be able to miss it, right out here, you're gonna come outside the parking, you're gonna get to the end of this crosswalk and turn left. Hello. - [Women] Hello! - Can you do meter? - Yeah. - You do meter? - Yeah. - And literally already we have found a Blue Bird Taxi that has offered us meter rates at the end of it turn right to the final crosswalk just like this one here, walk down this area, were almost there. This is the unregulated area where GO-JEKs can come and basically GO-JEK is just like Uber, it's a very affordable way to get around, you can spend even less money if you're willing to take a motor bike taxi, but you'll need to have just like one bag like I've got right now. They'll be wearing this beautiful, beautiful green jacket. - My name is Anto. - Anto? - Anto. - Once you leave the airport terminal, you no longer have that free WiFi access, and so unless you bought a SIM card in the airport, you're without any internet here, which by the way, the SIM cards in the airport are extremely overpriced, do not buy it there. My number one recommendation is just go chat with those GO-JEK drivers, the guys wearing the green jackets, the taxi drivers, and negotiate your own price. (upbeat music) (cash register dinging) Alright guys, so I've just arrived here at the front of the hostel, and I booked it on Hostelworld, not sponsored, but they're one of the ways that you can find hostels all over the world. So, I found one that had the lowest price, but yet still offered higher ratings, I think this place had like a 9.2, great staff, great cleanliness. It came in at 120,000 Indonesian rupiah, which is like which is like nine US dollars. Let's go check it out. Hello, how's it going? Okay, so I've just checked into the room. If you need me you can knock on bunk number three. Climb all the way to the top with me. It's an ACed room, so I'm happy. This is my living quarters. That right there is one of my lock boxes, so I can put any valuables in there. And something that I used to do a lot because I traveled with my film equipment and it was like my most valuable asset, was I slept basically next to it. I like cradled it in my sleep. Hostels are so safe, but it can happen anywhere, so I like to keep my most precious possessions close to me. Already I've met three people and we're probably leaving here to go the beach in about 10 minutes. This is what the bathroom looks like. Got a couple of hammocks here for reclining, and we're now heading down to Echo Beach. The reason I choose this hostel was actually because of the high rating, but also because it's probably no more than a five minute walk away from the beach. So, this is probably one the best budget restaurants that you'll find, like the best value in all of Bali. So, 60,000, I got a chicken breast, a corn on the cob for an extra 20,000, a beer I got myself the Bintang. And by the way, this is the must-have drink when you first arrive here in Bali. You can help yourself to the potatoes, the corn, the salad. It's such good value, probably one of the best in all of Bali. So, just before I checked into my hostel, I actually was stopped on the side of the road by these guys right here from the Netherlands, - Hey what's up, man. - Ativa, and Isla. (upbeat music) - Cheers. - Nice meeting you. - Alright, man. - We just finished an hour long dinner, probably even a bit longer, just chatting, because we had so much in common. Honestly, that's the crazy thing when you travel, you quickly meet people that just have the same passions, same ideas. My friend, you have Bintang! - Yeah you know. - [Christian] This guy's the man for Bintang. How much for the big one? - 35. - [Christian] 35, that's a deal. - Thank you. - [Christian] Thank you very much for that. Oh you wanna take, okay here we go, there we go, okay, three, two, one cheese! Oh it's beautiful, and how do I find you on Instagram? - What do you of this? - [Christian] Do you have Instagram? - Oh no no. - [Christian] Oh man, you're missing out. - Instagram, I have Instagram. - [Christian] Oh you have? - Yeah I have, Instagram? - [Christian] Yeah. - Yeah I have. - What is it? - Rezaafzaikan. - Just got back to the room, and by the looks of it I'm the only one here, so no complaints, I'll be the first one to go to sleep. And then from there, I'll probably be woken up, one, two, three, four, five times before I finally get to bed. To bed number three I go, and I'll see you tomorrow. So, I've just arrived here at a restaurant that I wanna show you guys because it consistently serves really affordable food, and it's good. These are a couple friends of mine from the hostel, morning guys! - What's up? - [Christian] How was your night at the hostel? - Hostel life, yeah! - [Christian] Good morning! - Morning! - Hello. I gave the cashier 100,000, she gave me back 31 so, this whole meal here is around five US dollars. - Hey can I borrow 31K? - [Christian] No I'm trying to make a $100 last man, you can't just. (giggling) I'll be honest, it's not like the world's best breakfast, but it's a good one, and it's cheap. (laughing) So I just organized with one of the locals here to have a scooter dropped off. This here is my ride over the next two more days. It's gonna be costing me 60,000 a day. I know you can get them as low as 50,000. But in this case to have the convenience of it being dropped off, if you want it for a week you can get it around 250, for a full month you're looking at roughly 700 to 750. Hello, good morning! - Bagus! - Bagus! Bagus, by the way you need to know this if you're coming to Bali, it's like good vibes. If you just had the best nasi goreng, and it only cost you a dollar, that's bagus. If you're surfing and you just hit the perfect wave, it's bagus. When you rent a scooter, and it comes with a bit of gas, an extra bar, that's bagus. There's a few things we need for a great road trip, and the first thing is a scooter. The next thing, you're gonna need is some friends, And the most important thing, we're gonna need a Latina. (rhythmic music) So, we now have a one and a half hour scooter ride to get us to the center of Bali. Were going to a place by the name of Leke Leke. (motor bike revving) So a slight unforeseen, expense for today's travels, but this is what happens when you travel, you can't predict every cost, the scooter, well let me show you. (scooter revving) It doesn't go anywhere anymore. Update, we have just called GO-JEKs to take us all the way. - Two minutes away! - We got motor bike GO-JEK's coming, so they're here to save the day, but the amazing thing it the local people have been so helpful, especially this gentleman here, he offered us his own bike. Literally like, just people offering a bike to strangers, it's crazy. When they ask you what you wanna do in five years from now, this is it. This is my dream job, just look at them all. There's so many of them. See this is the treat that we wouldn't have gotten if our scooter hadn't broken down, so always take the positive. Thank you very much, kindest people around. Oh my gosh he's taken like half an hour out of his day just to make sure we were all set up and our day trip continues. It's now two p.m. so we gotta hurry up if we're gonna see Leke Leke, and then finish it off with the beautiful UNESCO site known as Jatiluwih. My homie. We're following GPS to get here, and there's like one path. This is the path. (upbeat music) Bye bye! (rain dripping) Here goes 20,000, thank you very much. - Thank you very much. (speaking foreign language) - It wouldn't be a trip to the north without a bit of rain. It's a day of unexpected charges. Fried chicken and rice, 45,000. Fresh young coconut, 30,000. The view, priceless, just kidding it was 30,000 to get in here. But it was worth every dollar in total like $10 to get all of this, this incredible view that gives us access to the waterfall, and my friends don't wanna be near me. - You left us! - Okay guys, this is the thing that we've traveled hours to come see, we've risked out lives, our limbs, just to experience this one moment, right here. Let's do it. Pretty cool. (groaning) Oh my, oh my, Cathy go try it out. This thing is definitely falling apart. Follow me, it's this way, follow me, it's this way. (leaves rustling) (upbeat music) I don't know if were gonna make it to Jatiluwih. We might have to find a replacement, but we're running back to our bikes, our GO-JEK's are hopefully waiting up there. So tonight's sunset was a fail, it was a complete gray out, There was no color, not much to see, but we did get a couple shots over the rice terraces. With that being said though, like I've had so many incredible day trips in the south of Bali, in the north, even some of the more hidden spots that one of my best friends, Pancha here in Bali has taken me to. If you guys wanna learn about all those hidden gems and more, the best restaurants, I have a full video guide to Bali, and there's a free video to it just linked down below to check it out and Pancha, the best tour guide in Bali, I'll also have him linked down below, like he's the best way to see Bali. Now, we're gonna enjoy some dinner, and tomorrow I'm excited because we'll be showing you the other side of Bali, we'll be going down south. So we're her at Savage Kitchen, and I'm super excited because I love their chicken burger, it's so good, and tonight is buy one cocktail, get one free. Cheers guys! - Cheers to an epic day! (cash register ringing) - It is day number three let's go! (water swooshing) ♪ We're not thinking ♪ ♪ About the way I use to ♪ Good morning my dudes. It is the start of a brand new day and another day to save some money. So, I wanna show you what were starting out day with, because for a very, very modest 85,000, we have gotten ourselves, eggs benedict, a cappuccino, at one of the restaurants I give a big thumbs up to. I've eaten here a few times, and I really like it. It's called Coffee n Oven. I'm also joined by a couple of locals here. What's up fellow traveler friends? - Hi, that was super awkward. - Alright guys, this right here is a travel hack to eat for free. If you smell the fumes that are coming off these bags right here, that is the smell of free food. Come on over. Where we going? - Uluwatu. - Alright. - Is that where we're going? - I don't know. ♪ We're not thinking 'bout ♪ ♪ The things I took from me ♪ ♪ I know that I am ♪ ♪ So much ♪ ♪ Better ♪ Alright guys we've made it down to Uluwatu. Were right outside of a place called Single Fins. Getting here, it was pretty much free, aside from a bit of gas. We probably spent at most 20,000 in gas. To get in here was 5,000. So as far as Bali's mainland, I have to say Uluwatu's probably the most beautiful, because it has those dramatic drop-off cliff side, onto incredible waves, they have internationally renowned surf competitions here all the time. Uluwatu, is a little bit expensive, especially in this area here, it's quite touristy. What we've done, is we've come down some of the stairs, and we found ourselves a local warung. Three, two, one. - On Christian! - Let's save money. 32,000 Indonesian rupiah, roughly two and a half dollars US. So, Cam's a big surfer and this is apparently one of the gnarliest paddle outs you can do. Essentially, during high tide, the water will be as high as like well above my head right now. So you have to start surfing from there and wait for the lifeguard to give you a whistle that you're slightly safe to make your way out, and you have to get through this cave while the waves are crashing in here. Bagus. Show us your newest tattoo. (whistling) What did you pay for that? - 20 bucks, 25 bucks. (cheering) - [Christian] Yo what's up dude? (monkey rustling) Okay, okay, okay, we found a local, hi. Picture! (chuckling) What's his name? - Leo. - Leo! - Leo. - Check this out, this is unbelievable. - And do you know how much this cost us, it's free. (inspirational music) So we have no idea what this tower is, but it's pretty cool and the best thing, it's free! At least we got here before they charge for the haunted tower. King of the castle, up to the top we go. Oh my gosh, look how tight it is to get through here. We made it! This is incredible. (upbeat music) About 15 minutes left of sunlight. It's a beautiful sunset tonight. Now it's not a complete secret because there are a few people here, but this is one of the quieter spots in Bali. (rhythmic music) - [Woman] I'm not a part of the band! (audience cheering) - Fast forward a couple of days, and welcome to Hong Kong. Now that's a video for another day.

This is the status of my wallet, absolutely empty. Nothing to it. (alarm blaring) We went in the red, the negative, and I would say that it's mostly because of the unexpected scooter incident, but I don't even regret that happening. It's honestly what made that day more memorable. It was a fun challenge that we overcame. It pushed us a little bit over budget, but I honestly would not have had it any other way.
