This week we chat to a travelling Swiss family who arrived in Bali in September 2019.
Also known as @familyearthtrek this trio first lived in Ubud and are now in Seminyak.
They love to chase waterfalls in their spare time! So far they are up to visiting 29 waterfalls in Bali!

Dawan has some great tips and insights into expat life. Link to interview in bio or on our website always.

Want to know how to live your best Bali life?

I have all the practicalities, expat advice and key contacts on how to do it!

I am so glad to help this UK family feel confident in their big move to Bali with three young children. They have set up a fantastic long term villa with staff including a driver and are excited to move to Bali in the next few months.

Send me a DM and ask me how I can help your Bali dream come true too!

The kids had a ball designing their very own Jewel

The kids had a ball designing their very own Jewellery in Ubud. The class was in a community centre so you can see we had traditional Balinese dancing and music as our backdrop!

Although we didnt live in Ubud we spent lots of time there and loved it!

- Ubud Writers Festival
- Yoga Barn and anything spiritual and healing known to man
- Rice field walks and stunning landscape
- Temples
- Insane vegan food and restaurants
- Waterfalls
- Shopping
- Markets
- Titi Batu Club
- Eco villages
- so so much more!

Another great expat community to consider when moving to Bali.

Very different to the beach vibe but it may just gel with you better. Some families try 6 - months in two different areas like Ubud and Sanur or Canggu because they are so different and a good hour or more drive from each other.

Have you been to Ubud before? Do you think it’s your vibe?

Sanur is a great option for young families and tha

Sanur is a great option for young families and that is exactly what awesome Bali mum Kirsty from Scotland did.

In fact, she arrived with a toddler and a 10-week old and her husband would travel during the week for work. Interview link in the BIO.

Sanur is a seaside town in the southeast of the island of Bali and very practical for young families due to its shallow beaches and cycling paths.

You can actually walk your dog and push a pram along the beach here!

Sanur was once known as a sleepy town and made for retirees but now super popular for young families especially avoiding the busier neighbourhoods of Seminyak and Canggu.

There is so much to see and do in Sanur and it is the place to go to get the ferry connection to Nusa Lembogan.

Interested in moving to Sanur or other areas of Bali? Drop me a DM and lets get the conversation started!

Start your Bali discussions now and see if it feasible to live there.

Whether it is a possible plan for a few months, a year or more we can chat through all the practicalities, realistic costs and considerations.

It doesn’t have to be overwhelming and worth you while exploring your options.

Look forward to hearing from you wherever you are in world!

Good luck to all the families I have helped so far, it has been wonderful assisting you.

Living in Bali exposed my children to not only the Balinese culture but the different styles of Indonesian art.

We took a very memorable 4-day holiday to the beautiful city of Jogjakarta, known for its traditional arts and cultural heritage.

The kids chose their own Batik patterns and colours and learnt the process of how it Batik was made.

Only a short flight from Bali it is well worth a visit and it also home to the world’s largest Buddhist temple the 9th-century Borobudur Temple.

Imagine being lucky enough to work in the Bali hospitality industry for the last 10 years!

That is what Holly has been able to do and at the same time start a family and raise her two gorgeous children with her husband on the island.

Bali is her home indefinitely and they have continued to live in Bali during COVID.

Have a read of the latest interview with Holly - link in the BIO.

Have ideas to live in Bali one day?

Send me a DM and I can explain how I can make that dream come true.

Our Year in Bali is here to share all the valuable

Our Year in Bali is here to share all the valuable information you need to create a hassle-free expat life in Bali. Every week I chat to awesome families from France to the USA, Australia to Singapore and I love that they are all looking for the welcome changes Bali can bring to their life. Even with the hard work of relocating to a new country and the frustrations Bali and island life can bring it is without a doubt worth it.

Send me a DM if you would like to know more about moving to Bali and how I can help like I did with Kate in France.

I can truly say Bali is an incredible adventure for the whole family and a once in a lifetime experience that I hope you can also have.

This is also one of my favourite photos I took on a walk down to the beach in Canggu.

Have you got an expat story to share?
