Episode #25: The Impact of Globalization on Bali

Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that
re-imagines what society considers normal. Every week we interview
different guests about the topics they’re most passionate about.
This weeks episode features Sri Purna, a virtual assistant from
Bali. In some of my previous episodes I had the opportunity to
interview digital nomads and virtual assistants, but I also wanted
to get the perspective of a local from one of these countries that
have become hot beds for tourism and nomads. I reached out to Sri
after reading a post she had left in a digital nomad forum. She was
upset and wanted to speak up about her experience with inequality.
We discuss how globalization opens doors for job opportunities but
also wage inequality, white privilege,and illegal
immigration.  A special thank you to our guest this week,
when we first got in contact I could tell that she was nervous to
speak up about her experiences and the change she envisions. She
spoke to me passionately about these issues that she was deeply
concerned about, but she was scared. Scared of retaliation from
potential employers and scared of endangering possible job
opportunities for her people. I'm glad I got to give her a platform
to discuss the impacts of globalization on Bali. Subscribe to
