I was on holiday! And Bali has the beaches, the sunsets, the palm trees. But I wanted to ask the people who actually live and work there about why Bali is a good place.And thanks to Merusaka Nusa Dua (not sponsored), I was able to meet four people wonderful people, who call Bali home, and talked about culture, belonging, and why this island makes you want to come back.Meet Nova (from Jakarta), Pipit (a Balinese local from the east), Aang (16 years in Bali from East Java), and Risna (from a village in north Bali). They all share what drew them here, why they stay, and what makes Bali and Merusaka Resort feel like family.This is a Good Place episode — a series of bench conversations about life, the places people live in, and how we can find belonging, that bring us together.Watch this episode on the Good Place Map of Connection:https://www.thisisagoodplace.com/Filmed at Meruska Resort Nusa Dua: https://merusaka.com/Follow Good Place on Instagram for more behind-the-scenes content and updates: / goodplace.cc

Sitting on a bench in a Barcelona superblock, I talk with Courtney Hunter, a Texan who left Dallas burnt out and found something she wasn't quite expecting: the simple joy of just being somewhere beautiful, like the city of Barcelona.

A conversation about burnout, slow living, and why romanticizing your life, wherever you are, might be the most radical thing you can do.

Now live on thisisagoodplace.com.In this episode, from a public bench in the garden of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Jeroen Janssen and I discuss the modern challenges to human connection, particularly for "Generation Z" who are increasingly avoiding social drinking.

We explore the growing issue of loneliness and social isolation in our communities, and how we should design spaces and homes for connection in modern cities today.For more info about Jeroen and Liven World:https://www.jeroen-janssen.com/https://www.livenworld.nl/For more in-depth interviews and discussions, check out Good Place on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts: https://www.thisisagoodplace.com/
