ABOUT US
Meet the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly, along with our three adventurous children. Nine years ago, we embarked on an incredible journey, leaving our home in Alaska, USA, behind to explore the world. As teachers, we were fortunate to find amazing opportunities in Chennai, India, where we spent two enriching years. Seeking new experiences, we then made our way to the United Arab Emirates.
Just as we were settling into our UAE life, the pandemic struck, but it didn't dampen our spirits. Instead, we saw it as an opportunity for another chapter in our journey. We moved to Indonesia, where we currently hold teaching jobs, and it has been a time of learning, growth, and connection.
As a family, we thrive on traveling and embracing the unknown. Adventures are our way of life, and through our experiences, we aim to inspire our children to be confident in meeting new people, trying diverse cuisines, and immersing themselves in different languages and cultures.

nice vlog guys! i really love it! keep it coming!
Thank you! Will do!
@@BagsPackedFamily stay safe👍🏻
It's amazing how much you've accomplished in 2 weeks for your new home and how both of you are so calm about it too. It would have taken me many months cause I'm really picky on what I bring into my home. I also love the little coffee stand, which you can find all over Seattle too. They not only sell coffee drinks, but great smoothies as well.
Thank you so much!
My anxiety is off the charts knowing how short your time frame is! What a whirl wind you have been through! Alaska is so beautiful! It must be hard to leave. Safe travels!!
It’s hard to leave for sure!
🥰🥰🥰🥰lots of love for forest❤️❤️❤️welcome back to indonesia..
All the best to the whole family. It’s a beautiful home.
Wishing you all the best! I hope everything works out ❤

I’m enjoying your videos so much!! New Subscriber!!🙏🙌❤️💫🍬💕🎈🕊️🎊🌷🥰😊
Love your family lifestyle ❤️
Congratulations on getting the new house in order in just a couple of weeks. Beautiful country Alaska.
I was in Anchorage (for work) for a few days about 3 decades ago, one time in winter, was just too cold for me and a few days in summer - couldn't sleep because it was only dark for 2 hours. Would love to visit again as a tourist though😊
You could consider an Alaskan cruise 🚢 Those are so much fun!
Thanks for your response. A cruise sounds good but I get seasick
Safe travels all! This was a fun video to watch!
Thanks so much!
I'm a new sub. What a great family❤
Thank you so much!
Beautiful Alaska. Cute Forrest. Cedar go to biking. Granit go to camping. Lumpia it's same Indonesian food. When come back to Papua, I hope can watch a video about your daily activities, what are your family do at the Papua home. 😋✌️
I wish your family could have stayed in Alaska , Its beautiful there and love your home, Good luck on your next adventure.
We'll be back in AK during the summer! We can't wait!
Thanks for sharing! I’m living vicariously through you guys! I’m 65 & hubby & I are retired 6+ years now. Live in Maryland. I really wanted one last big adventure when we retired. Like moving somewhere like Alaska. I love nature, snow, the mountains, colder weather. However, hubby is in his comfort zone here & doesn’t want to move. I feel really let down. I am loving your videos and seeing your great adventure in Alaska! After having to do all of that, to get the animal smells out of the floors, I assume you won’t let your renters have pets indoors?
Thank you so much for your support! One of the best vacations my parents took years back was an Alaska cruise from Washington to Anchorage. I wonder if that is an option or you? No pets for our renter. :-)
@@BagsPackedFamily Yes, an Alaskan cruise 🚢 is definitely on the list!
Awesome show
Thank you 😊
Thank you for loving Filipino food and the kids look so happy and granite you are so handsome and ceder getting taller and prettier 😘looking forward for the next videos and love love love your house 😘😘😘
Thank you so much! 😊
Amazing views in Alaska. Not Only Snow Season, Without Snow Is Also Beautiful!
Cedar's statement is also sad. But what else can you do, you have to work. So back to Indonesia. But it's your responsibility, Indonesia will have holidays again at the end of the year, why not just come back at the beginning of next year?
So You Can Enjoy Your New Home Even Longer.
We are about to head back to the USA to see family in the Midwest, then to Thailand. We’ll spend many weeks in Alaska next summer. :-)
@@BagsPackedFamily Owh. Ok. 😉👍
Excellent chief...🤗
Everything look great in the house!
Thank you!! 😊
Jhon aku koq jadi pengen ber kunjung ke rumah mu & ber main dengan anak anak mu yg lucu & menggemas kan itu jhon 😂😅 👏
I am retired due to a brain tumor ( pituitary) and after watching a couple videos, is it ill to ask- did your family win the lottery? Seeing videos where thousands have been spent including a house, new everything etc, I was left, stunned Living now on little retirement, adding up expenses, mind blown so wonder if you all are a mega millions winner? So intrigued. An answer would be good so I can stop adding up the thousands of dollars Safe trip back to your jobs, which I know, cost big bucks just to get back Happy Holiday.
Mamma Rav’s is the best!
She is so kind and so I’d her family ❤ Can’t wait to try out her other location, as well.
Totally!
Best FAMILY Travel Adventures 👍🏆 👍
You said you were renting your house while you wrap up your mission trip. You're quite brave to buy all new stuff & new carpet for a renter, unless you are renting to family. Best wishes & safe travels.
Our renters are good family friends. :-)
When I started watching this channel, I read that you guys sold everything to travel the world. Now that you bought a house, I assume you finally decided to settle in the near future. I guess it is also better for the kids even though they have experienced so many cultures compared to other kids at that age. It has been quite a journey and thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! We've been traveling and working overseas for the last 9 years, and it's been life changing. Our plan is to start the process of transitioning back to the USA over the next several years. We want to give the kids a place to call home. :-)
What I find most impressive on your videos is the lessons in parenting, beautiful lesson to all parents on family life@@BagsPackedFamilymay your family find peace when they eventually move back home.
Congrats for 200k sub.
Thank you so much 😀
Put a big in ground pool in heated!!😊😊😊😊😊
Beautiful place in Alaska i want go there someday😊
You should!
Praying and hoping you get all completed…before you leave….how far are you from Denali…..????… amazing you don’t have snow….in November…❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
So much snow there now ❄️ This was filmed at the end of summer just before school started. Just now editing and posting. 🎉
Thanks for your reply....when you get to Indonesia, please consider a geographical trip to the point that lies on the Equator...pontianak.
safe travels...🙏🙏♥️🇺🇸
We miss having your beautiful family in the Philippines too, come visit again! Safe travels back to Indonesia! Sending love from London 🇬🇧
Uhuuyyyyy ..😁👍
Such a beautiful done up house kudos👏. Just curious, will you be leaving it empty when you move to Indonesia?
I have good family friends living in the house while we’re in Indonesia. :-)
Nice big house
Is there a place you recommend to get TEFL Certs that's better vs the rest? (I'm in canada if that helps)
You guys look formilier I might have watched your channel before in the Alaska but I through your people are from the west somewhere . I just can't remember what the states that is.
i watch too many movies where Alaska is all about snow 🥶
and here we are at the end of the year and people are still wearing short sleeves 😄
There is definitely snow in Alaska now! We actually filmed this several months ago. :-)
Ah I see
thanks for the explanation
Legenda Beruang Alaska masih ada kah Mr jack . Forest sgt lucu ingat wkt makan ketoprak di jakarta ..
Ketoprak is still his favorite! :-)

When will you be living full-time in Alaska? What do you do for a living that you can travel so much just wondering.
My question is when you're done in 10 months how long will you be able to stay in Alaska next time how many months or is that it are you done after that traveling or what
Alsaka is beautiful!
