hey it's Anna Von and Luna Tuna here from TravelMama AnnaVon I'm gonna tell you a

little bit about how to travel to Bali with kids we're currently in Bali

Indonesia hi Luna welcome join the conversation I'm about to give you one

of my best travel tips for kids it's really easy to come to Bali you can do

it by yourself with kids this is one of the easiest places in the world to

travel with your children and I'm gonna teach you how to make it even easier

today in this video are you ready tuna yeah estas lista

we're at a cell store we're getting some credit here one of the things that drives me

nuts that travelers do is they get off the plane and then they live on Wi-Fi

like if you have enough money to afford to come to Indonesia from Canada don't

be cheap with your phone shit man get a card you can usually buy a SIM card at

the airport for somewhere between $5-$20 Canadian in any country in

the world and usually the card comes with a certain amount of data you can

get about a monthly plan of unlimited data for about $10-$20 as well

I seem to use a lot more data here in Indonesia than I do in say Guatemala but

honestly like when I fly to Mexico I just get a card at the airport load it up

and then get my Guatemalan one back and when I leave you should be connected all

the time you can do this at the airport don't be cheap don't be lazy get your

Wi-Fi sorted

my next hot tip for you is driving everybody in Bali drives the scooter a

scooter cost between $60 and $100 for a month for a rental and

it's about two to three dollars to fill up for the week and that's if you're

driving it every day you need to get yourself a scooter okay if you have a

kid bigger than her they can stand in the front that's how everybody does it

here get used to it if they're smaller get yourself a backpack man there is no

place for strollers here strollers are only good for big Western fancy cities

if you go outside of that you need to learn to carry your children you need to

learn how to drive a moto I learned to drive a moto in India which means that

you can do it I don't have a license in Canada and I'm a good driver the good

news is you can drive on the side of the road going 20 here and no one's gonna

honk at you or mess with you they know you're a new driver they can tell by how

you're driving also nobody drives more than 40 so as far as I'm concerned I can

take an accident at 40 just go slow stay on the side be careful learn to drive a

scooter it will change your life here I do it with her you can do it something I

can't stress enough when you're traveling with kids just keep it simple

you know we rent a place without a pool because we don't need one every day

leave a little trampoline it's really kid-friendly and instead we just like

find places where we can kind of come and hijack the pool for an hour you know

with kids it's so easy to keep them happy you do not need all the extra

fixings you can just do some swimming

my last travel tips here for you on going to Bali with kids is this you

should always always travel with Tempra or a Tylenol if you've got little kids

like me Luna's still under 2 - she teethes and it comes out of nowhere and she

spikes these teething fevers and you know they can happen on a plane they can

happen at the airport they can happen on a layover they can happen in the middle

of the night you don't know where to go Tempra is key if you have older kids

like kids six and under you should still be packing something for that you can

get at any pharmacy here Tempra look at that si Tempra

so the last thing you gotta really look out for

when you're traveling is this try to be mindful about how much garbage you're

creating the whole tourist industry is set up to create an incredible amount of

garbage it's basically if you're travelling anywhere as a tourist you are

contributing to taking a giant dump on the world and I'm not talking about just

cuz you took a plane I mean the single serving plastic to getting rid of

mangroves for you know hotel sprawl the way that they throw

away half the food they make in these big awful you know all-inclusive if you

come to Bali this is a beautiful island and you're not at home

so be a good houseguest you know do your part do as much as you can we travel

with fold up bags you know I never use plastic bags anywhere I take a bag with

me we put things in the bike and the bike boot you know if I can carry it in

my arms what do I need a plastic bag for I actually I'm really proud of this

I'm gonna see if I can find it when we came over on the flight and I've been

here for almost two months now I got this bottle of water in the airport in

Taipei and I've been reusing it every day since I've been here it's almost

time for me to get a new one it's getting a little foggy but there's no

reason why you can't do this kind of stuff while you're

traveling and I feel like especially while you travel you should be really

like wow thank you so much for inviting me to your country let me not take a

shit on your rug it's super important to be mindful and it's really hard as a

tourist because like I said everything is set up for you to you know be

mindless the tourism industry is for single drunk people who want a deal on

day drinking the whole thing is set up for that and if you're traveling with

kids get out of the tourist areas get into more local areas work a little bit

harder be a bit more mindful try to eat it locally owned places stay in locally

owned hotels or Airbnb is and just like put some money into the

economy into the pockets of the people that actually live there and not

companies that are foreign nationals and you know watch you're plastic man you can

always say no thanks I don't want to straw in my drink nothing's stopping you

if you really like exploring the world with these little guys try to keep it

as beautiful as possible so that when they grow up there's something for them

to show their kids that's the end of my diatribe on that if

you have some great travel tips that maybe I didn't say or questions leave

them below thanks for watching oh and we have a YouTube channel it's all about

eating Tempra all over the world so traveling as a single parent all over

the world and it's called TravelMama Anna Von thank you so much for having
