Do you wonder what it is like for your children to go to High School in Bali? What is it like living in Bali today?

Meet Jade and her family, originally from Perth Australia who moved from Ghana to Bali in 2019 for a better school education. The kids are thriving and they are very grateful for their Bali life.

Have a read of this awesome interview and their advice they have for other families looking to make a move. (Link in BIO)

Travellers for life, Canadians Lauren and her husb

Travellers for life, Canadians Lauren and her husband Michael, love living with their two children in Perenenan near the beach.

Michael has a two-year contract as a teacher at the Green School and Lauren is an amazing Maternal Wellbeing Practitioner and supports women with a range of services such as prenatal support, birth readiness and postpartum support.

We had a great chat to Lauren who returned to Bali after a COVID break back in Canada last year to have her second child. Thank you for the interview 🙏 Link to interview in bio. Happy reading!

Since 2018 we have sponsored Kadek through the @ba

Since 2018 we have sponsored Kadek through the @balichildrenfoundation to ensure he has a good quality education and we will continue to do so until he graduates high school.

Apart from BCF delivering education programs and employment pathways during COVID they have also started a Food Aid program thinking they’d only need to do it for a few months. Sadly it’s a year later and Bali is still struggling. With so many borders closed, tourism remains at an all time low. 😷

Families are battling to put a balanced meal on the table, and so at BCF they are striving to contribute in some small way to help these families get through this extraordinary time.

You can help by clicking here - It only takes AU $25 to feed a family of 4 for 4 weeks.

I have also published a post that includes a extensive list of other charities and initiatives that you may wish to contribute to.

Amazing to see the island coming together to help. Thanks for reading!

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.
