Jarrett “JT" Thomas Is “Starting a Brand New Life in Bali”
The Southern Charm alum is giving a brand new look inside of his life today amid his move to Bali, Indonesia.
Jarrett "JT" Thomas has embarked on a "new journey in life" by moving to Bali, Indonesia, from Charleston, South Carolina. The
JT took to Instagram on Sunday, Nov. 2, where he posted a video of himself, talking about his big life change from a swimming pool in Bali. "So today's the first day of my new journey in life," he explained in the video. "I have pulled the ripcord and I am living in Bali. Just retired. Retired, living in Bali, after living my whole life in the US."
He revealed that he left his community, friends, and family to start over. "I think I've just been thinking about doing this and probably many of you have, so I said, 'Enough is enough,'" he noted.
He continued, admitting that he sold "everything," including his business, real estate assets, car, and watch, in order to start "anew." Or, "until things become normal again, if that ever happens," he stated.
JT also changed his Instagram bio to reflect this new life change. "Retired living in Bali, sharing truth(s) in hope of helping others," it reads.
Jarrett "JT" Thomas reveals what's next for him after moving to Bali
JT admitted that he has already paid rent for the month of November in Bali, and will not be returning to the United States for Thanksgiving. Therefore, he plans on establishing a community and making friends in Bali, as he currently knows no one.
"If I don't make friends or build a community, sooner or later, I'm gonna lose it, and I'm gonna fly back to the chaos," he said. "But I don't want to do that. So, I think what I'll do today: I'll go to the gym nearby and do a workout class. I'll sit by the pool. Have some lunch at the gym; my gym has a pool. Start having some conversations with people. And then this afternoon, at sunset, I'm going to surf and try to keep working on that skill because surfing's a good way to hang out. Afterwards, have a beer, watch the sunset...and that's day one. As I begin my new life."
He concluded the video by stating that he would be making a video every day documenting this new journey of starting over. "Hopefully it goes well, we'll see," he added. "I'm excited about it."
