Vewi Arlinda and Gordon Andersen are the figures behind CBR Bali. Vewi originates from Bogor in Java and has lived in Bali for several years along with her three daughters. Headstrong, independent, and with excellent English, Vewi set up and manages CBR Bali. Gordon an expat from Sydney (but really a Kiwi) was visiting Bali for the first time last Feb 2020, days before the gates closed with Covid-19, and has been stuck here ever since.

Vewi was one of the very first people Gordon met in Bali – he hired a Honda PCX from her and the rest is history, as they say. They both fell for each other immediately and now share business and family life. Both are mad keen on all things motorbikes, including Moto GP – Vewi has Moto GP ‘boyfriend’ Yamaha's legendary VR46 whereas Gordon valiantly follows Aussie Ducati GP star Jack Miller.

In 2020, in the wake of Covid, Vewi and Gordon set up a free food kitchen at their Villa – Aquarius Social Centre, cooking and serving to hundreds of people every day for months until exhaustion forced the closure of this kitchen.

Vewi and Gordon believe they have a winning team being a mix of local Indonesian and Western influences. This helps CBR Bali understand customer requirements so they can experience a more pleasant time whilst in Bali.
