“We thought we were moving for the lifestyle… but Bali gave us so much more.”After leaving New Zealand in search of warmer weather and a better pace of life, the Rea family made the bold decision to relocate to Bali. What began as a lifestyle move quickly became a complete transformation — for their work, their children, and their sense of community.Now settled in Bali, they share what everyday family life really looks like: school mornings, working from home, beach walks, sports, building friendships, and finding a place where their kids truly feel at home. In this honest conversation, they open up about the challenges of the early months, choosing the right area to live, adjusting to a new culture, and why Bali now feels safer, more connected, and more meaningful than they ever expected.They also share how giving back through community outreach and charity work has become a huge part of their lives — and why they can’t imagine leaving.Chapters0:00 – Meet the Rea Family0:32 – Why They Chose to Move to Bali0:45 – Daily Life in Bali as a Family1:45 – Finding the Right Area & Villa Life2:28 – Building Community in Bali3:30 – School Transition & Kids Settling In3:59 – Loving Balinese Culture4:35 – Giving Back & Community Outreach5:54 – Working With Charities in Bali6:37 – Feeling Safe Living in Bali7:30 – Getting Help When Relocating8:36 – Would They Recommend Moving to Bali?If you’re thinking about moving to Bali with your family, or simply curious about what life here is really like, this story offers a real, grounded look beyond the highlight reel.Rea Family Full story: https://ouryearinbali.com/moved-to-bali-with-our-three-kidsExplore family relocation guides, school options, and visa support at Our Year in BaliBook your free call and start planning your move with confidence: https://calendly.com/ouryearinbali/30min
