Hi there Reader
It’s Amy, popping in this week to share the exciting news that I’m in Bali for two weeks!
I know that a lot of Melbourne families love to visit Bali – so I’m here to explore the best of this tropical paradise with my kids and to share some of the fun things we get up to as a family.
It’s also our first family overseas trip! With a 2 and 4-year-old in tow, I can’t wait to see what adventures come our way… wish me luck!
If you’re planning a Bali trip with kids, follow along on Tot socials to see all the warm weather fun we’re having.
Have you been to Bali with little ones? I’d love to know your favourite places and things to do.
