LEARN
When you join Moleskine and Unsettled in Bali, you travel with a purpose in mind. You are choosing to be a part of a community that shares your desire to pursue a journey of discovery, growth, and meaning through travel.
CREATE
Take the time and space you need to break out of your routine and redefine what productivity means for you. In Bali we mix work and play, with the intention of letting your curiosity lead you into a creative state of mind.
EXPLORE
Bali has its reputation for a reason. Artist, anthropologists, and now digital nomads have flocked here to learn first hand how this island’s sense of mystery permeates all parts of life. We will explore how Bali’s natural, spiritual, and philosophical world manifests itself and dive in to what this all means for you.
YOUR EXPERIENCE
One month. One Island. Your blank canvas. From the moment you arrive, we provide a platform for you to experience Bali in a meaningful and intentional way, and inspire your creative process.
From our base in Ubud, we will explore this creative paradise and its unique mix of spirituality, philosophy, and nature. Expect evening dinner conversations and facilitated workshops to inspire your creative processes; spontaneous adventures and time for reflection; and finally, endless opportunities for growth, connection, and learning. As organizers, we facilitate and help schedule many of these, but you choose your focus and what you do with your spare time. We keep the structure flexible – so you can work when you need to.
THE COMMUNITY
We bring together a curated community of professionals – from artists and entrepreneurs to coaches and consultants – who are interested in co-creating an experience that will inspire their creative process. You will share knowledge, insights, and skills with like-minded peers who hold a wealth of experience far deeper than just their careers, and join a growing community of Unsettled alum spread out over 80 countries around the world.
For me, this entire year has been dedicated to stepping out of my comfort zone, pushing my limits and development as a human being. Unsettled was the cherry on top to my “Year of New” and I would have never dreamed that I would meet such an amazing group of people. They truly made the experience for me greater than I could ever imagine.
It was an extraordinary experience, one that left me feeling affirmed, motivated and inspired. I’ve never experienced group travel in the way that Unsettled does it, and the co-curation of our time together made it so much more than just a trip. When I would tell friends and family about Unsettled, the consistent response was “this experience sounds tailor made for you.”
In 2014, I took a leap of faith. I decided to take a month-long leave from work and join 30 strangers on an island 10,000 kilometers from my home in Rio. For those 30 days in Bali, I worked in one of the most inspiring, productive, and fulfilling environments I could ever imagine. It showed me what was possible.
