“Try the Bali Bag Storage Service That Distracted Financial Reporters From Stocksย (True Story)ย โ Book Now Before The New York Times Ruins Our โBest-Kept Secretโ 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? Hereโs what caught their attentionโ

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 Newsโthe global wire service with 1 billion+ daily readersโfeatured our Bali bag storage service was the day we realized: even backpacks can be breaking news. Their piece highlighted how weโre 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: Canadaโs Take on โWhy Didnโt We Think of This?โ
When a publication known for dissecting GDP growth and policy shifts pauses to praise our on-demand Bali bag pickups, you know youโve struck a nerve. Their angle? โFinally, a vacation upgrade thatโs not an overpriced lounge pass.โ (Weโd 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 โthe ROI you canโt quantifyโunless youโve tried chasing sunsets with a 20kg anchor.โ Weโll take that over a stock ticker any day.

Barchart: Where Luggage Trends Alongside Bitcoin
When Barchartโa platform that tracks market movements like hawksโdeclared our model โdisrupting Baliโs baggage blues,โ we laughed. Disrupting? We just wanted to save travelers from sweating through shirts while herding suitcases to cafรฉs. But hey, if the analytics say soโฆ

Why the World Press Cared (And Why You Should Too)
Spoiler: Itโs not just about storing bagsโitโs about reclaiming lost vacation time
The Real Headline? โTravelers Waste 127 Hours a Year Lugging Suitcasesโ (We Made That Upโฆ But It Feels True)
Those media features werenโt just fluffโthey zeroed in on a universal truth: tourists lose precious Bali moments to luggage logistics. Think:
- Beach plansย abandoned because youโre stuck guarding backpacks
- $15 smoothie bowlsย eaten in 2 minutes before rushing to airport pickup
- โQuick temple stopsโย that turn into suitcase obstacle courses
Hey Bali didnโt invent bag storageโwe just weaponized it against wasted time.
The Hidden Cost of โJust Dealing With Itโ
Those articles exposed what travelers donโt post on Instagram:
- Hotels chargeย for late check-out (but ourย Bali bag storageย isย IDR 25k/day)
- Rideshares refuseย overloaded scooters (we deliver to your next hotel)
- Airport layoversย spent herding bags (weโll meet you at arrivals)
โBut itโs just a backpack!โ โ Tell that to your shoulders after 8 hours in Canggu traffic.
Try the โPress-Approvedโ Bali Experience
The real lesson from AP News & co.? Travel light, stay longer, sweat less.
๐ฆ Pro Tip: Book our airport delivery and your bags will beat you to check-in.
๐ย Store now, explore properly
