YouTube Video UC2BwhajFdXm9I0gIgrslagA_SWXW2vMLekw On April 6th at 3:45am I was attacked in my own bedroom by a man who broke in to rob me. He had a machete, hit me several times, cut me once, and then left in a panic when my wonderful neighbours heard my cries for help and yelled out my name. My neighbour ended up in hospital from cuts to his face and we all ended up with anxiety and stress over what that man did. This is a follow up video about how these past couple of days have been for me and my neighbours. As well as a message of thanks to everyone who checked on me or sent a message of care and love. That has helped me more than I can convey. #batam #expatlife #lockdown XOXO ~ Angela // LINKS - You can find this video and more on my blog: http://wanderwithangela.com - FACEBOOK http://fb.me/WanderwithAngela - INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/WanderwithAngela

UPDATE Indonesia Expat Life: Attacked By Man w Machete
YouTube Video UC2BwhajFdXm9I0gIgrslagA_SWXW2vMLekw
Today's #lockdown video is not a fun one. I was woken up this morning at 3:45am by a man in my room wearing a hoodie, mask, and gloves and wielding a machete. Screaming HELP at the top of my lungs woke my neighbours downstairs, and their scream up to me -- a simple, "ANGELA" -- made the man panic and rush out, only to hurt my neighbour as he fled (so much so he needed stitches). I don't know how long he was in my apartment before he woke me up demanding money but I was awake with him for only a minute or two, thankfully. I ended up with one small cut, several bruises on my arm, and 1 large welt on my hip from his machete. #batam #expatlife I live on a (usually) peaceful and safe island in Indonesia that relies heavily on tourism. Tourism around the globe is dead and that means that countless people are out of work and will be struggling to put food on the table. I hope this experience is unrelated to the economic downturn caused by Covid-19 and not a glimpse of a pattern of increased theft and assault. It was the scariest moment of my life ... and as much as I want to say I am not going to let fear take me, I honestly don't know how I'm going to get to sleep tonight.

Want to get 2 or 3 free bottles of wine with every case of wine you buy, including free delivery? Then this is your video! It’s not easy to hunt down where to buy wine on Batam, there is quite literally ZERO mentions on Google. I discovered Rockout last year through a connection and have loved them ever since. You can buy wine via WhatsApp (online on their website soon, too!). They offer same-day delivery. And you can’t beat their prices on Hatten, Sababay, Two Islands, and Dragonfly wines. #batam #sababaywine #twoislandswine GET FREE WINE Simply mention “WanderwithAngela” when you order to receive 2 free bottles of Sababay wine or 3 free bottles of Two Islands wine with every case you purchase. PLEASE NOTE: I am not being paid for this video BUT if you mention my channel to Rockout, I’ll get wine, too. HOW TO ORDER 1. WhatsApp +628127000709, the team at Rockout will share the available wines and prices to you. 2. Mention “WanderwithAngela” so you get your free wine! 2. You’ll receive an invoice to pay once you make your selection. 3. Pay online via bank transfer or PayPal for delivery -OR- with cash for pick-up service. You can order anytime before 3pm for same-day delivery by 7pm. WHERE TO FIND LATEST OFFERS (once their e-commerce website is live I will share it here) HOW I FOUND ROCKOUT I first met the team at Rockout in March 2019 on my first trip to Batam. I was going crazy trying to find a wine shop or online ordering option. I had a packed video shoot schedule and didn’t want to go hunting for wine (or buy it from the hotels I was reviewing because of the 3x markup price). The owners of The Tempats luxury private villa in Sekupang shared their contact details with me and I ended up including a fun wine tasting in my Luxury Batam Travel Guide video (see that here (starting at 25:21: https://youtu.be/f6swkzQL4gY?t=1521 ).

I fell in love with Tempat Senang exactly 1 year ago when I spent 9 days on the island shooting luxury solo travel videos. Since then I’ve moved to Batam and have curated what I believe to be the perfect Tempat Senang SPA DAY! You’ll start with 3 hours of pampering, a yummy lunch amongst the treetops, then martinis and snacking by the pool until it’s time to go home. #batam #tempatsenang #spaday The 2 main day spa packages are: - HALF-DAY SPA: 3 hours at the spa / 3 treatments - FULL-DAY SPA: 6 hours at the spa / 3 treatments + includes spa lunch free-of-charge All visits include complimentary transfers from/to Sekupang Ferry Terminal. To check out their Day Spa Offers, visit their website: https://www.tempatsenang.com/day-spa-packages Be sure to follow them on Instagram for deals and spa inspiration: https://www.instagram.com/tempatsenangbatam/ To check out my 3 day/2 night trip to Tempat Senang March 2019, click here: https://youtu.be/MMdoccWwZLY

Expats, digital nomads, immigrants, and anyone stationed overseas might as well live on another planet if someone we love falls victim to the Covid-19 pandemic. It’s important for everyone around the world to be safe right now but the seriousness that those of us living abroad need for our family and friends to take their safety OVERLY serious .... well, for me at least, has felt under-appreciated this week. #covid_19 #expatlife #digitalnomadlife ⁣⁣⁣⁣

Johor Bahru is one of the most underrated destinations in Malaysia and the perfect city to visit for a fun 3-day excursion from Kuala Lumpur. While I set out to shoot a Luxury Solo Travel video, what I found was a whole lot of tips to also recommend to Families as you’ll see. So come along with me as I share everything I did in Johor Bahru, from experiencing the top hotels and Executive Club Lounges in JB to visiting a mosque and Old Town JB. HOW TO GET FROM KUALA LUMPUR TO JOHOR BAHRU Without a doubt, you want to fly with my favourite domestic airline, Firefly and use their Flight+Hotel service coupled with Premier class. Trust me, you’re gonna love it. The prices they offer for flight+hotel are much cheaper than what you’ll pay when buying them individually. They have partnered with the top luxury hotels so you’ll have wonderful choices (plus countless hidden gem budget options as well if that’s what you’re looking for). #johorbahrutravelguide #malaysiatraveltips #fireflyairlines HOW TO GET LOUNGE ACCESS AT SUBANG AIRPORT I hunted and hunted until I realised it was quite simple. With the other benefits of Premier service, you are also granted Lounge access. In addition to simply being charming and chill, it's full of assorted food and beverages to make your pre-flight time at the airport breeze by. CONTACT FIREFLY AIRLINES For more details or to make your flight booking, visit their website. https://www.fireflyz.com.my/ TOP 3 JOHOR BAHRU LUXURY HOTELS (in alphabetical order) 1. Amari Johor Bahru Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KR08kn-fJ4Q 2. DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=km5L8U9M8x8 3. Renaissance Johor Bahru Hotel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOtGwDkgmxg WHAT TO SEE & DO IN JOHOR BAHRU 1. Visit Hiap Joo Bakery in Old Town https://web.facebook.com/hiapjoobakery 2. Cafe-hop and explore Old Town. I didn’t have the time on this first trip BUT the girls from Beer For Breakfast have an awesome video that explores JB’s quirky and yummy cafes, CLICK HERE to watch their video. (The cafe tour starts HERE, or watch the whole video that shows a wild party night they had the night before!) https://youtu.be/sd_6_-PrkJc 3. Skyscape Glass Walk for panoramic JB views (next to Amari and DoubleTree). This building is great for kids, with an Angry Birds theme park and gaming attractions. https://web.facebook.com/SkyscapeJohorBahr 4. Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque is a real must, such a beautiful mosque with sea views. AS FOR SOUVENIRS, this is the one place I bought something! There is a lovely local artist there selling paintings and they are truly beautiful. He has been there for 22 years and a true delight, don’t miss the chance to own one of his pieces. https://www.malaysia.travel/en/my/places/states-of-malaysia/johor/sultan-abu-bakar-mosque 5. DC Super Heroes Cafe at JB City Square Mall (next to Amari and DoubleTree) 6. Don’t forget to eat lots of yummy STREET FOOD. The night market I visited was Pasar Malam (Night Market) Permas Jaya, just across the street from Renaissance Hotel.

Come along on a 1-night stay with me at DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru ... for a stay filled with breathtaking views and a gentle breeze. You're going to love DoubleTree's fabulous Executive Club Lounge and stunning rooftop pool and restaurant. This is also one of the most well-situated 5-star hotels in all of JB, and its close proximity to Old Town makes it the perfect basecamp for many of the fun touristy things you'll want to do during your stay. Or if you're staying for business, you'll see that the Executive Suite is perfect for in-room meetings. In this video I'll give you a tour of the Executive Suite, the Club Lounge at cocktail hour, show you high tea, and the exact perfect spot to sit for dinner in the open air (with a lovely breeze!) poolside at Tosca. Contact DoubleTree by Hilton Johor Bahru: - For more details or to make a booking, visit their website https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/jhbdtdi-doubletree-johor-bahru/ XOXO ~ Angela // LINKS - You can find this video and more on my blog: http://wanderwithangela.com - FACEBOOK http://fb.me/WanderwithAngela - INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/WanderwithAngela

If you're a foodie, you're gonna L-O-V-E your stay at Renaissance Johor Bahru! In addition to having absolutely enormous suites, an executive club lounge with an almost panoramic view of JB, and one of the biggest hotel bars I've seen in ages ... it's home to wonderful food that will delight and surprise you. Come along and explore my club-level Executive Suite and then for non-stop eating and drinking over a fun-filled 3 days. During your stay, I highly recommend their dim sum lunch, it was divine! And be sure to call ahead to Wan Li and reserve a cosy booth if your party is small enough. There be sure to order the Peking duck, it was finger lickin' gooooood, trust me on that one. #renaissance #johorbahru #travelvlogger Contact Renaissance Johor Bahru - For more information or to make a reservation, visit their website https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/jhbbr-renaissance-johor-bahru-hotel/ - Be sure to follow them on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renaissancejohorbahru/ XOXO ~ Angela PS.

Hop on the border-crossing train from Malaysia to Singapore 🇲🇾🇸🇬 It couldn’t be easier! It’s right downtown in JB and you only have to arrive 30 minutes before your train departs. The ride takes 5-minute from KTM’s JB Sentral station across the water to Woodlands Singapore. At just RM5 (US$1.20) it’s a wildly cheap and convenient way to pass through immigration. #trainvideo #solotravel #ktmtrain For more details, visit KTM’s website: https://www.ktmb.com.my/intercity-from-jb-to-woodlands.html XOXO ~ Angela // LINKS - You can find this video and more on my blog: http://wanderwithangela.com - FACEBOOK http://fb.me/WanderwithAngela - INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/WanderwithAngela
