Moved to Bali to Work Online and Escape the 9–5 (Ben Smithson) | Chatzzz Ep. 125

Adam Roberts

In this episode of Chatzzz Adam sits down with Ben Smithson to talk about designing a life on your own terms. From Cumbria to Bali, and everything in between.

Ben opens up about:

- Moving to Bali and what it’s really like living and working remotely
- How online work gave him the freedom to build a different kind of life
- The mindset shifts that helped him get unstuck
- The pressure to “have it all figured out” in your 20s
- Why structure, fitness, and daily routines still matter, even abroad

This is a proper chat about chasing clarity, not just success and learning to live with intention, whether you’re in Carlisle or on the other side of the world.
