How a Family Trip to Bali Sparked the Launch of a Life-Saving Business

This photo takes us back to Fox and Lola’s very first trip to Bali, just before the world turned upside down. 🌍 Back then, Chad was deep in the corporate grind, and I was juggling life at home, running the kids everywhere. We were saving like crazy, dreaming of a year filled with international travel, jumping on Jetstar specials whenever we could. We had just arrived in Bali, booked Japan for a few months later, and had big plans to explore even more of the world that year. But then, the world shut down. Suddenly, we found ourselves locked away in North Queensland, far from family. In hindsight, we had it pretty easy—lots of time together, swimming, playing in the yard, and our first experience with online schooling. While we had to let go of our travel plans, we poured our energy into something new. We took some of our savings and launched an online e-commerce business during the lockdown—one of which became @safebandzco After this trip to Bali, it became clear just how much families could benefit from a simple way to keep their kids safe while traveling. That’s how SafeBandz was born—a wearable scan ID band that stores names, contact numbers, and any important info about the wearer. This little idea grew out of our own needs, and now it’s helping other families travel with peace of mind. ✈️❤️ SafeBandz has come a long way since those early days. What started as a simple ID band has now evolved into something much more—with an app and even more safety features to give parents peace of mind. If you’re traveling with kids, these bands are a must-have to keep them safe on your adventures. Pop one on your little ones, and enjoy exploring the world knowing they’re protected. 🌍✨ #SafeBandz #FamilyTravel #BaliMemories
