From Busy Aussie Life to Family Adventures in Bali: Our Journey to Embracing Change
Stays, Activities, Health, Tips
📣Life didn’t always look like this for us. 😬
Chad worked full-time and was away with overnight trips nearly every week, while we juggled a typical Aussie family life with a mortgage, cooking most meals from scratch, and shuttling the kids to and from school. We were just like many others, trying to balance work, family, and everything in between.
But then we decided to make a change. We sold it all for more time together as a family and to focus on everyone’s mental health. It wasn’t just about escaping the daily grind—it was about finding a new way of living where we could be more present, lock in as a family, and cherish our moments together.
Sure, not every day is magical or ends with a sunset beach swim, but most days are pretty special in their own way. We’ve traded the routine for adventure and found that even the ordinary moments can be extraordinary when shared together. 🌟

📣 Life as a typical Aussie family was full of love but undeniably busy. With Chad clocking frequent overnight trips for work and the rest of us navigating school runs, home-cooked dinners, and the ever-present mortgage, it felt like we were ticking all the boxes of a successful life. But deep down, we craved more—more time together, more meaningful connections, and more balance in our mental well-being.
So, we made a bold decision: we sold it all and took the leap to Bali. It wasn’t just a move; it was a mindset shift. 🌏 Trading the frenzy of city living for the serenity of rice paddies and ocean breezes, we found clarity in simplicity. The biggest win? Time. Time to focus on what matters most—each other.
Living in Bali isn’t about endless days of lounging on beaches (though those moments do exist, and they’re pretty magical 🌅). It’s about finding adventure in the everyday, from exploring local markets with our kids to hiking lush trails as a family. It’s also about learning from the Balinese way of life—slowing down, showing gratitude, and embracing joy in the small things.
What we’ve discovered is that togetherness transforms even the most ordinary moments into something extraordinary. And no, it’s not always picture-perfect. There are still struggles, mismatched schedules, and learning curves—you name it. But the trade-off? A richer, fuller family bond we couldn’t have built any other way. 💛
Thinking about taking your own leap? Bali is the perfect blend of adventure and culture for families. Start small—make time for shared experiences and let the magic grow. Because sometimes, the biggest life changes start with the smallest intentional steps. ✨
