Bali Buddies

Bali Buddies was founded in 2012 by Karlie Cummins, an Australian expat who had been visiting Bali for around 15 years before moving there full-time with her husband & two children in 2017.
Their team is composed of “Bali lovers” (local and expat) who live on the island and produce content, run events, and assist both visitors and residents.
The company behind them is listed as PT Bali Buddies Media.

They publish a blog/website offering detailed articles about “where to eat, drink, stay, play and relax in Bali – whether you’re living in Bali or planning to visit for a holiday.”
Under the “Travel Tips” section they cover topics like airport arrivals, transportation options (Grab, car/bike rental), money/ATM advice, health & safety, kids & family travel, and more.
They maintain active social media (Instagram, Facebook) with up-to-date features, local deals, events, and so on.

According to their listing on a review site, they provide a “full on-ground concierge service in Bali with guides, drivers, activity bookings and airport transfers.”
Example: They run a “Balinese Village Experience” tour in the Ubud area (Gianyar Regency) which includes visiting a local village, participating in a ritual cleansing, meeting a family, etc.

They partner with local businesses (hotels, resorts, restaurants) for features and promotions.
They host networking events, anniversary parties, and gatherings for their audience in Bali.
They also work with Bali’s tourism board and Australian media, acting as a bridge for travel marketing.

Because the founder and team are resident in Bali and have many years of experience, the information tends to reflect real-life, current local knowledge (rather than stale or generic tips).
They address both tourists and residents, which means their content includes things like moving to Bali, living costs, family travel, as well as typical holiday-maker advice. Their on-ground services (concierge, tours) provide a way to turn the guide‐book info into real facilitation—drivers, translations, local hosts.
The team seems oriented toward authenticity (e.g., the village tour experience) and avoiding tourist clichés. For example one reviewer said:

“If you want authentic Bali with no fellow tourists, this is for you.”

If you’re planning a trip to Bali and want trusted, up-to-date local advice: best areas, staying safe, family friendly.
If you’re staying longer or moving to Bali (rather than a weekend trip) — they have resident-friendly content.
If you prefer concierge support on the ground: e.g., arranging transport, guided tours, meeting local families, cultural immersion.
If you value authentic local experiences beyond just the beach/resort: going into villages, rituals, offbeat places.

As of the publicly available info, a specific full physical street office address is not clearly listed in the “About” section. If you need this (for e.g., mailing or meeting), you will need to contact them directly.

They celebrated “12 Years of Bali Buddies” in 2024 (since starting in 2012) according to an Instagram post. They cover all major travel-related aspects: from arrival (airport advice) to leaving (departure tips), including things families with kids should consider in Bali.
Their blog posts include features on boutique resorts, new restaurants, wellness centres, local events—so it’s not just practical advice but also trend-spotting in Bali.
