The Honest Truth About Living in Bali with Kids: Real Experience of a Family of Four

After three months of living in Bali with our girls (ages 1.5 and 5.5 back then), I’ve got ALL the juicy details that Instagram influencers won’t tell you. From visa nightmares that cost more than our flights to traffic that made me question my life choices, this is the unfiltered truth!

But it wasn’t all bad – we found amazing schools with bamboo huts, hired wonderful nannies, and dressed up in traditional Balinese outfits for local ceremonies. My girls were absolutely adored everywhere we went.

I break down exactly what we spent ($7,800/month – ouch!), where we lived (Ubud vs. Canggu showdown), and why finding a villa without mold feels like winning the lottery during rainy season.

Whether you’re dreaming of rice field views or planning your escape from winter, I’ll help you decide if Bali family life is your paradise or just an expensive Instagram fantasy.

Plus, I answer the burning question: Yes, Bali Belly is 100% real, and yes, even my husband was down for THREE DAYS!

Yours, Lulu
