Like many expats with businesses in Bali, Matt Haymes, was hit hard by COVID.
Matt is originally a shaper from the Sydney’s northern beaches but these days he’s based in Uluwatu, where he leases accommodation and operates a restaurant.. With no tourists travelling to Bali and business grinding to a halt, Matt felt compelled to embark on a surfing quest that that would sustain his spirit and preserve his sanity. In the inspiring clip attached he provides a frank insight into the plight of the tourism industry in Bali and articulates how he cultivated a positive mindset in a challenging time. Who knows? After watching Matt, perhaps some of you will be compelled to take on your own 365-day challenge.
“It definitely makes you mentally and spiritually stronger and therefore better equipped to deal with the curve balls life throws your way.” Matt Haymes
