Ketut Suwenda - your Bali driver and guide

In 1997 I learnt to drive and January 1998 I got my Driving Licence. Since 2000 I have been Bali tour driver and guide. I have very good safety record.

I was born in 1976 in the small village name Petang in Badung Regency. It is about 40km north of Ubud. My parents were farmers but sadly my father died when I was 16 years. To finish senior high school I work hard after school to get money for the fees.

Then I began work in a specialist textile shop and learnt English and Japanese.

In ten years of selling very beautiful old batik and ikat I helped many customers with their business needs. My business experience means I know ways of doing business in Bali.

Now my wife Kadek runs a shop where you can see traditional Balinese and Indonesian fabrics. She welcomes you to her shop.

It is not easy talking about myself. My customers come from all over the world. Perhaps it is best you look at my "Testimonials" to see what other people say about me.

For example Maya Trujillo Ringe from Seattle, USA said: "Honestly, our trip could not have been as fulfilling without you and we very much appreciate all you did. I actually cried when we walked away from you - we got used to your smile, your bright energy and contagious laughter."

My wife Kadek, myself and our beautiful youngest son Putu Abi at our local village assembly hall - 'bale agung'. 'Kadek' is a name given to the 2nd born child in a family, 'Ketut' to a 4th born child and 'Putu' to a 1st born child.
