American Woman Summoned for Tweeting How to Get into Indonesia during Covid BY :FANA SUPARMAN JANUARY 19, 2021
Jakarta. Immigration officials in Bali on Tuesday summoned American citizen Kristen Gray who has been living in the resort island for more than a year for allegedly misusing her visa.
The move came after a thread from her Twitter account went viral as she detailed how she and her girl friend could enjoy an “elevated lifestyle at a much lower cost of living” during their stay and promoted her e-book titled “Our Bali Life is Yours”.
“It’s a guide breaking down how we did it and how you can do it too,” Gray wrote in the now-deleted tweet.
Digital Nomad Blasted for ‘Foreigner Privilege’ After Writing ‘Tone-Deaf’ Guide to Living ‘Rich’ in Bali
An African American digital nomad has been accused of exploiting their “foreigner privilege” after posting a how-to guide on living a life of luxury in Bali, Indonesia.
In a now-inaccessible Twitter thread, Kristen Gray, who runs a graphic design business, shared that they struggled to find work in the U.S. and wanted to get out of survival mode and Bali was
“the perfect medicine.”
Hoping to “elevate” their lifestyle, Gray and their girlfriend booked one-way flights to Bali, where they have been living for over a year now.

The generosity of Regina residents came through during the Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle Campaign, a crucial fundraiser for the organization.
Capt. Kristen Gray told the Greg Morgan Morning Show on Tuesday she was concerned the fundraiser would struggle to gain contributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, with fewer people leaving their homes and even fewer carrying cash.
It turned out she didn’t have to worry. The campaign raised $247,000, exceeding the Sally Ann’s target by $22,000.
“People just stepped up in a huge way this year and we’re just over-the-moon thrilled with the results,” Gray said.
