I’m a mum-of-2 who ditched the UK for an exotic country – my huge villa is £178 a month & a cleaner does my laundry too
A MOTHER has revealed that she ditched the UK and now lives in an exotic country.
Busy mum-of-two Amee Scase left her life in Manchester because she found it “unbelievably overwhelming and stressful”.
And now, the content creator rents a huge villa for just £178 a month.
But that’s not all, as this mum also has a cleaner who scrubs and tidies her home, as well as doing all her laundry too.
Posting on social media, Amee eagerly gave her followers an insight into her luxurious life in Bali.
Prior to her big move, Amee sold her aesthetics business in the UK.
She is now living in Canggu, a resort village on the south coast of the Indonesian island of Bali, that’s surrounded by terraced rice paddies, and is in the process of building her own villa.
Revealing “one of the best things about living in Bali”, Amee claimed that having a cleaner is near the top of her list.
She explained: “She has done all my washing for me, put it out to dry, she even scrubs my whites, she scrubs everything.
“Everything is just put away so neatly – all the kids’ toys.”
Amee stressed that her cleaner, who is named Wayan, makes her life “easier”, as she makes her bed and folds her clothes away neatly too.
Amee continued: “She comes on a Monday and a Thursday and when I say she grafts, she absolutely grafts.”
Amee described Wayan as “the nicest woman” and stressed that she is “so grateful for her.”
Amee also shared that rent for her huge beach island villa is 24 million Indonesian Rupiah [£1,069.04] for six months, which works out to be just £178 a month.
Moving house hacks
1. Declutter Before You Pack
Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load.
2. Create an Inventory
Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move.
3. Use Quality Packing Materials
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move.
4. Label Everything
Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized.
5. Pack a ‘First Day’ Box
Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day.
6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup
Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place.
7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items
Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury.
8. Colour-Code Your Boxes
Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home.
Additionally, she continued: “At home in the UK, I used to get so overwhelmed and I felt like I wasn’t able to be present with my children because I was always stressed.
“It costs us 1.5 million [Indonesian Rupiah] a month to have [a cleaner] twice a week, which is about £75, but I always tip her because I am so pleased with how she does things – she goes above and beyond.”
