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.

Itu2019s 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 canu2019t beat their prices on Hatten, Sababay, Two Islands, and Dragonfly wines.n#batam #sababaywine #twoislandswinennGET FREE WINEnSimply mention u201cWanderwithAngelau201d when you order to receive 2 free bottles of Sababay wine or 3 free bottles of Two Islands wine with every case you purchase.

I was going crazy trying to find a wine shop or online ordering option. I had a packed video shoot schedule and didnu2019t 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 ).nnXOXO ~ Angela nn// LINKSnn- You can find this video and more on my blog: http://wanderwithangela.com nn- FACEBOOK http://fb.me/WanderwithAngelann- INSTAGRAM https://instagram.com/WanderwithAngela

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. Itu2019s 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. n#covid_19 #expatlifeu00a0#digitalnomadlifeu00a0u2063u2063u2063u2063

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 youu2019ll 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.nnHOW TO GET FROM KUALA LUMPUR TO JOHOR BAHRU nWithout a doubt, you want to fly with my favourite domestic airline, Firefly and use their Flight+Hotel service coupled with Premier class. Trust me, youu2019re gonna love it. The prices they offer for flight+hotel are much cheaper than what youu2019ll pay when buying them individually. They have partnered with the top luxury hotels so youu2019ll have wonderful choices (plus countless hidden gem budget options as well if thatu2019s what youu2019re looking for).n#johorbahrutravelguide #malaysiatraveltips #fireflyairlinesnnHOW TO GET LOUNGE ACCESS AT SUBANG AIRPORTnI 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.nnCONTACT FIREFLY AIRLINESnFor more details or to make your flight booking, visit their website. https://www.fireflyz.com.my/nnTOP 3 JOHOR BAHRU LUXURY HOTELS (in alphabetical order)n1.
