Last year I was in Kohub, Hub Hoi An, Outpost Penestanan, and some time at Hubud. This year, due to Covid, just Kohub.

Yeah, Hubud is cool, or was last year. I understand the whole of Ubud has been shocked by COVID killing the tourism industry so it'll be interesting how it goes when we can travel again.

But yeah, you won't find the budget backpackers trying to scrape a couple hundred bucks a month monetising their awesome travel blog about their amazing life in Hubud. It's too expensive (relatively speaking). Find a cafe close to a cheap hostel, that'll let you spend the whole morning abusing their decent wifi for the cost of a single americano. You'll be able to tell them because of the number of inappropriately-dressed white folks somehow covering an entire 4-seat table to use their 13" MacBook.

Kohub is the coliving on a thai island right? I've been really interested to check that out but never ended up making it there.

My email is in my profile. I'd be really interested to jump on a chat with you for a few minutes and hear about your experience if you are open to it. Get in touch if you are open to talking.
