@Brian Von Ancken Really happy you created this channel. Hopefully, everything is going well with Luca!

We’re currently in Bali for 7.5 weeks with Daxx (3.5 months old). The 16-hour flight from the Netherlands to Indonesia went surprisingly well (just a little crying during landing).

My girlfriend Denise and I love traveling, making memories, and discovering new cultures (and we’re not big fans of rain and winter weather).

People here are incredibly kind to Daxx (in restaurants they often want to hold him). Of course, there are some adjustments to make, but we were prepared for that.

We brought a baby carrier, which we use a lot (our daily steps are through the roof haha), and we also brought the stroller. This Friday, a nanny will come by our accommodation for the first time. A little quality time for Denise and me.

So far, I can definitely recommend it. Before we had Daxx, many people told us: “Enjoy traveling while you still can.” To be honest, I find traveling even more fun now. We’ll see how it goes in the future, but for now, we’re enjoying it to the fullest.

If anyone would like tips or has questions, feel free to ask.

PS. The fitness, health, and wellness space is huge here in Bali. If anyone wants to know more about it, let me know.

VERY inspiring man. I love Bali and could see settling there with a little one being really fun!
