I was recently quoted as saying, I don't care if Instagram has more users than Twitter. If you read the article you’ll note there’s a big “if” before my not giving of said shit. Numbers are important. Number of users is important. So are lots of other things. Different services create value in different ways. Trust your gut as much (or more) than the numbers. Figure out what matters and build something good.
When you are alone for days or weeks at a time, you eventually become drawn to people. Talking to randos is the norm. I’ll never forget the conversation with the aquarium fisherman, forest ranger, and women at the Thai market. It’s refreshing to compare notes on life with people from vastly different backgrounds.
Many years ago, I worked for my parents who own a video production company. Because it is a family business, you inevitably end up wearing many hats and being the czar of many different jobs. I mainly managed projects and worked as a video editor. On production, there were times that I was called on to work as an audio tech and was made to wear headphones on long production days. In those days, having a really good set of headphones that picked up every nuance of sound was essential to making sure the client got what they needed.

Gwenny Rumawas
Ronald Serhalawan’s Bali Fresh Female Farmers
From her 3-bedroom service apartment in Jl. Danau Tamblingan, Gwenny talks to us about living in Sanur — “I moved to Bali from Holland in 2002. Sanur attracted me for its green beauty and village feel.
The location is also strategic for commuting to my paprika farm in Kintamani three days per week. Coming home is always nice and relaxing.
Back in the nineties, tourists in Sanur were predominantly Europeans of middle age and above. Now you can see various nationalities of all ages, giving more energy to the atmosphere but yet the cultural aspect is still here. Evenings in Sanur nowadays are alive with trendy cafes and bars opening. New international standard beach clubs and the jogging – bicycle track along the beach are really a plus for both visitors and residents. This makes Sanur now a unique destination that offers everything people expect from coming to Bali.
The fact that all those are just within few steps away from where I live makes my friends and I go to the beach in Sanur more often and spend more time here more than ever.”

Event & Outreach Manager
“I live in Jimbaran but work in Sanur for 11 years. Commuting from Jimbaran to Sanur now takes just around 30 minutes and gives daily amusement from the beautiful scenery on the toll way.
Over the years I have seen Sanur grew from a quiet traditional place to a vibrant meeting point that it is now.
What’s also great to have now is the young generation from Denpasar opening coffee shops here. I am very proud to see the Balinese young take responsibility of running it themselves. This business draws many young clients from Denpasar to hangout regularly in Sanur, creating a dynamic and energetic vibe in the area. After all, Sanur is only minutes away from Denpasar.”
