“Try the Bali Bag Storage Service That Distracted Financial Reporters From Stocks (True Story) — Book Now Before The New York Times Ruins Our ‘Best-Kept Secret’ Status.”
When we started Hey Bali with just a storage locker and a WhatsApp number, we had one simple goal: rescue travelers from Bali’s most universal headache – the dreaded “what do I do with my bags?” dilemma.
Today, we’re both humbled and thrilled to share that our 24/7 Bali bag storage service has not only helped thousands of travelers enjoy their final hours in paradise baggage-free, but has also earned recognition from some of the world’s most respected publications.
In what still feels like a surreal moment for our small team, AP News, The Globe and Mail, Benzinga, and Barchart – publications better known for covering global markets and world affairs than beach gear logistics – have all featured our humble service.
(We’re still waiting for Vogue to do a “Luggage-Free Vacation Chic” spread, but hey – a team can dream.)
So how did a small Bali startup end up in these outlets? Here’s what caught their attention—

When Your Bali Bag Storage Service Outshines Breaking News
How a simple idea for luggage freedom ended up in the same headlines as world events
AP News: Where Suitcases Share the Spotlight With Elections
The day AP News—the global wire service with 1 billion+ daily readers—featured our Bali bag storage service was the day we realized: even backpacks can be breaking news. Their piece highlighted how we’re cutting the cord between travelers and their luggage (so you can finally enjoy that Ubud waterfall without dragging a roller bag through the jungle).

The Globe and Mail: Canada’s Take on “Why Didn’t We Think of This?”
When a publication known for dissecting GDP growth and policy shifts pauses to praise our on-demand Bali bag pickups, you know you’ve struck a nerve. Their angle? “Finally, a vacation upgrade that’s not an overpriced lounge pass.” (We’d add: and 100% less stressful than begging hotels for storage.)

Benzinga: Trading Stock Tips for Suitcase Freedom
Proof that even finance geeks need stress-free Bali bag storage: Benzinga (usually all about crypto charts) called our service “the ROI you can’t quantify—unless you’ve tried chasing sunsets with a 20kg anchor.” We’ll take that over a stock ticker any day.

Barchart: Where Luggage Trends Alongside Bitcoin
When Barchart—a platform that tracks market movements like hawks—declared our model “disrupting Bali’s baggage blues,” we laughed. Disrupting? We just wanted to save travelers from sweating through shirts while herding suitcases to cafés. But hey, if the analytics say so…

Why the World Press Cared (And Why You Should Too)
Spoiler: It’s not just about storing bags—it’s about reclaiming lost vacation time
The Real Headline? “Travelers Waste 127 Hours a Year Lugging Suitcases” (We Made That Up… But It Feels True)
Those media features weren’t just fluff—they zeroed in on a universal truth: tourists lose precious Bali moments to luggage logistics. Think:
- Beach plans abandoned because you’re stuck guarding backpacks
- $15 smoothie bowls eaten in 2 minutes before rushing to airport pickup
- “Quick temple stops” that turn into suitcase obstacle courses
Hey Bali didn’t invent bag storage—we just weaponized it against wasted time.
The Hidden Cost of ‘Just Dealing With It’
Those articles exposed what travelers don’t post on Instagram:
- Hotels charge for late check-out (but our Bali bag storage is IDR 25k/day)
- Rideshares refuse overloaded scooters (we deliver to your next hotel)
- Airport layovers spent herding bags (we’ll meet you at arrivals)
“But it’s just a backpack!” → Tell that to your shoulders after 8 hours in Canggu traffic.
Try the ‘Press-Approved’ Bali Experience
The real lesson from AP News & co.? Travel light, stay longer, sweat less.
📦 Pro Tip: Book our airport delivery and your bags will beat you to check-in.

The Mic Drop: Travel Light, Live Large
So yes — maybe we’re “just” a Bali bag storage service.
But when your name ends up next to global stock tickers, policy updates, and international headlines… maybe you’re onto something more.
We’re not here to change the world.
Just your last 6 hours in Bali.
Leave the bags.
Keep the magic.
