ABOUT US
We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children. We sold our home in Alaska, USA, eight years ago, and headed overseas. We are teachers and found fantastic teaching positions in Chennai, India. Two years later, we moved to the United Arab Emirates. Three years after that, during the beginning of the pandemic, we made the move to our current teaching jobs in Indonesia. We love traveling and finding adventures as a family. We hope that our travels will inspire and provide our children with the confidence to meet new people, try new foods, and enjoy learning a new language. We hope our vlogs will inspire you to get out and travel, too!

Legend has it that Forest is still hiding until now...

[@Melissa.Melissa_]

You offer the best seat for your kids. I admire you for being a great father!

[@catalyst1659]

Omgosh Ceder is so innocent and has no attitude at all, I just know she is going to grow up as a articulate lady :)

[@radikal79]

Forest is doing the whole talking on the show and he is the happiest toddler ever 🤣😍

[@NikZafriAbdulMajid]

Great vibes. There is nothing compared to spending time with the whole family in a very executive way. It's refreshing to see the kids smiling. As a Malaysian, I am proud to welcome you and your great family to Malaysia. Enjoy

[@kefarakefara9034]

😋👍 selamat datang ke Kuala Lumpur ..big bos'

[@yangerjamir0906]

Forest, the sweetest kid on KZbin.

[@theglobalpeasant]

Always enjoy the travel day videos. I find those premium bus seats hit or miss with the seats features...but having the two front seats is pretty cool! Hotel looked like a nice treat too...lots of mirrors lol.

[@t-evans]

I love that you watch Bald and Bankrupt. Do you do that as a family? Any other favourite travel KZbinrs out there?

[@BagsPackedFamily]

I think it’s so funny that our kids like watching Bald and Bankrupt with us! Kelly and I also watch Harald Baldr, Dale Philip, Luke Damant, Jet Lag Warriors, and sometimes World Nomac. :-)

[@t-evans]

@@BagsPackedFamily Thanks for the recommendations, 2-3 on there I don't know. Keep up the good work!

[@nouraaz27]

The memories you're making with the children- so precious. They look so happy

Forest is starting to get the hang of vlogging, sharing what he thinks and what he eats, how adorable ❤ I'm glad you guys were treated to a luxury experience, for all the joy you give to us through your videos ❤ Aaand I'm definitely happy to see Kelly relax, and have a large serving of a veggie dish 😊 It's tough being a mother of three. I mean as a dad also, but as a mother...u know what I mean 😂 anyway, God bless you all 😊

[@BagsPackedFamily]

[@justhenryquek]

Glad you guys liked Malacca, for a local its pretty boring but i can see how tourists would enjoy our city

[@sheenasolero]

Yeah, it's quite interesting to see vloggers enjoy our places when we don't think there's anything special to it 😅 I am forming some newfound appreciation for my country because of these videos.

[@lindashoemaker8940]

Nice parents. Their kids are adorable.

Always remember to clean the coffee dispenser machine with hot clear water before using it. Let it runs without any pod for one or twice. Can see the water flowing out with brown residue....

[@micheleyeoh76]

Those look like pineapple tarts, a specialty in Malaysia. Enjoy your stay in KL!

It's more a combination of opening new credit cards, and closing them after getting the rewards points.

I hope you can take good care of your child because nowadays there are many cases of child abduction. You and your family need to be careful.
