Living in Canggu: 6 types of people

If you've ever lived in Canggu, Bali, then you may already be aware of the 6 types of people - it really is one big meme here. If you're yet to visit, here's what you can expect (and watch out for the Canggu fuck boys!)

1. Digital Marketers

In a world where you can work from anywhere with your laptop and wifi, it's no doubt that Canggu is home to many digital marketers - myself included. In fact, it has been found that 90% of the expats living here work in marketing, in a study I just made up.

2. Influencers

Some of the pretentious InfLUeNcERs can be spotted a mile away, taking an hour to get a flawless photo of their perfect lifestyle only to be sat in silence among their circle of friends on their phone afterwards. Who are you really influencing here?

On the other hand, I've met some incredible people who use their influence to spread joy and inspire others, which I feel is much healthier content to be sharing. This may just be my unpopular opinion.

3. Crypto Bros

These guys seem to know what they're doing, or so that's what they want you to think. Most of them are broke, investing in pyramid schemes that they think will make them rich. Some of them actually know what they're doing and are essentially retired, living their best lives. There's even a crypto cafe here in Canggu. Hats off to them. I have no idea what they do but still. Bravo.

4. E-commerce business owners

Gym clothes, jewellery, and, everything else you could possibly thing of. These guys have nailed their passive income, and have more streams of income than Bali has streams at the side of the roads (don't fall into them). They can normally be found at Zin Cafe or Tropical Nomads working on their next project as they get bored easily and just can't focus on one thing at a time.

5. Canggu Fuck Boys

It's easy to avoid these as they all look the same, you just need to know what the red flags are. Blonde, curly hair, and incredibly loud bikes help to distinguish them. STAY AWAY! They normally travel in groups and like to surf. The typical shell necklace and lots of jewellery is also a giveaway sign. If you get caught up with them, call the Canggu fuck boy hotline or ghost them before they get the chance to.

6. Gojek Heroes

No matter hail, rain, or shine, the Gojek heroes are always there when you need them most. For those of you who don't know, Gojek is an app where you can order a bike, car, food, and a healthy new liver from the black market in case you had too much to drink at ShiShi's Ladies Night free flow. If you know you know. To every Gojek driver - thank you from the bottom of my heart. You guys bring a smile to my face as well as Burger Brothers to my bedroom.
