Why we built it

Bali is better when you find your people.

We believe an internship abroad should be about more than work. Moving to Bali is exciting, but it can also feel lonely at first. Sometimes your colleagues are older, have different interests or live very different lives, and it isn't always easy to meet people at the same stage of life as you.

Our community helps interns, exchange students, study-abroad students and other young people living in Bali connect, make friends, discover things to do and feel at home.

Not just for Your People in Bali placements. Interns from other agencies are warmly welcome. We're here to bring people together, not to compete.

One community, many backgrounds

A community that brings everyone together

The community lives on WhatsApp, so it's easy to join and easy to keep up with. It brings together people from different internship companies, universities and countries.

  • Meet other interns and international students
  • Connect with people outside your own workplace or agency
  • Find friends with similar interests and lifestyles
  • Share recommendations, questions and plans
  • Discover activities and opportunities across Bali
Events and activities

Something to look forward to

Your People in Bali aims to organise around one to two community events a month, such as camping trips, paintball, social evenings and other group activities that bring people together.

  • A young man celebrating with his arms in the air on an indoor padel courtSports and games
  • A big group of friends in white T-shirts and Halloween costumes and make-up, sitting together on a sofaHalloween night
  • Friends relaxing under green blankets on a rooftop lounge surrounded by plantsSlow afternoons

More happening, from more organisers

Other agencies in the community can share their own activities too, like a karaoke night, a group outing or discounted activity tickets. It's a shared space, so you'll hear about more going on, even when someone else is organising it.

Events depend on the season and who's around. They aren't automatically included in a package, and some have their own costs, such as tickets or transport. Details are always shared in the group first.

How it works

One WhatsApp community, a few focused groups

Each group has its own purpose, so you can jump into the conversations that are useful to you.

  • Announcements

    Important community news and the big upcoming events, so you never miss what matters.

  • General Chat

    Say hi, meet people, ask questions and make plans for the week.

  • Activities

    Find people who want to hit the beach, go out or try something new together.

  • Housing

    Ask for housing advice and talk about areas, villas, rooms and rentals.

  • Buy & Sell

    Pass on or pick up useful things when people arrive, move house or leave Bali.
