Bags Packed Family

Join us as we spend the next few days exploring the streets of Amritsar, the Sri Harmandir Sahib Golden Temple, and the Attari/Wagah Border. There is definitely a different feel to Amritsar than Mumbai. Temperature-wise, it was much colder, the food has more spice to it, and the city has an older feel to it. Of course, we love all parts of India because each state is so diverse and has its own unique style. In this video, we will show you where we are staying, give a street food tour, walk past the Golden Temple entrance (where we met so many lovely families), get fitted for turbans, and enjoy delicious Punjab food. Of course, our first meal HAS to be kulcha and chole. We visited Amritsar six years ago when Granite was 4 years old and Cedar was 2 years old. We have been craving Kulcha ever since. We are so excited to bring Forest here for the first time and to make more memories here as a family. In our next videos, we will explore Amritsar's streets and sites!

Head to https://squarespace.com/bagspackedfamily to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code bagspackedfamily Our India street food challenge is on! Can we feed our family on $15 worth of street food? Join us to find out. We love Indian food and have eaten so much of it, but tonight we try at least six new (to us) foods. We have our go-to South Indian food: Idly, ghee dosa, mini idly in sambar, tomato onion uttapam, and fresh lime soda. But, we are no longer in south India. This is western India, in the state of Maharashtra. The food is different and the spices are…spicier. As we weave our way through the streets of the Zaveri Bazaar, we get to taste so many exciting flavors and textures. For Kelly, this is a vegetarian's dream come true! For everyone else, we didn’t even notice the meat was missing because the flavors and textures were fantastic. If you are in Mumbai, you have to add this street food market to your list. We needed way more than three nights in Mumbai. There are so many things to experience and see. We have to come back in the future. I don’t think we realized how much we were going to love this big city. When you come here, plan for at least a week or more. Even though we are sad to leave Mumbai, we can’t wait to show you where we head next: Amritsar!

Alright! When you travel for years, you can’t wait to “go home” to do your everyday things like haircuts, dentist visits, or buying new shoes. You have seen Forest get a haircut in Delhi and we found a dentist in Jakarta. In our video today, we go in search of new shoes for Granite at the Phoenix Mall. He is growing fast and wearing through his footwear. Now, this actually was harder than we thought it would be. His feet are too big for kid shoes but too small for men's sizes. The salespeople tried to sell him women’s shoes or just sent us to other shops. Then, we found one pair of shoes, but they cost almost $200 USD. Knowing how fast he outgrows shoes right now, we couldn’t justify paying that much. We went to at least four different stores before finding something that would work. It was more than we have ever paid for kid shoes, but I guess this is our next stage of parenting: the pre-teen years! Parents of pre-teens give us a shout-out! We might need some help navigating the next few years. In our next video, we hit another nighttime street food market! We had a great time and hope you can join us for it.

Join us today as we explore Fort Kochi on foot. We have been staying in the northeast side of the city, so today we head across town to a part of the eastern side known as Jew Town. We passed many of the famous cathedrals and churches and Chinese fishing nets, but it is a holiday and they are really busy so we weren’t able to get up close enough with the GoPro. We decided to begin this family walking tour at the Mattancheery Palace, built by the Portuguese in 1955. We weren’t allowed to film in most of it, but if you decide to go there are beautiful murals painted on the walls, portraits, and fascinating palanquins (or litters) used to carry royalty. We find a small market, head to the water’s edge, and explore Jew Street in search of the famous Paradesi Synagogue. Then, just before we wrap up our time in Fort Kochi, we make a final stop at Chaithram Hot Chips - the best banana chip factory we have ever been to! In our next video, we head to Mumbai for the beautiful contrast of luxury and street food.

Head to https://squarespace.com/bagspackedfamily to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code bagspackedfamily We made it to Lulu Mall! This is one of India’s largest malls. We decided to take a break from the midday heat to explore indoors. This mall is bigger than 17 soccer pitches! We were there on a holiday weekend and it was so busy with people. What a fun time! Our day began with lunch at the food court. Jonathan and Cedar had a chicken taste-off: KFC vs. WOW Chicken. The kids found Funtura Amusement Park and spent hours playing games and riding rides. Guess who won? Forest fell asleep, we met so many awesome people, and then we took the metro home. Have you been to a Lulu Mall? These megamalls are all over India. We found the mall to be clean, filled with a variety of shops, and has many dining options. Kelly loved the hypermart grocery store (we have a limited grocery store where we live, so finding a big grocery store is always a special treat). Our favorite part of the day was meeting this huge group of people! If you are on our channel, give us a shout-out! In our next video, we explore the streets of Fort Kochi during the daytime!

The air is warm and salty, the streets are busy, and people are out enjoying the night. After checking into our hotel, we go in search of Indian street food along Fort Kochi’s Beach Walkway. We find a variety of street food snacks, sugar cane juice, shawarma, Fuljar Soda, and more. We meet lots of vendors roasting peanuts, making fresh sodas, and even cooking up corn!

This is our first full day in Alaphuzza and we are ready to share our first impressions with you! After a leisurely breakfast, we took a canoe out on the backwaters of Kerala’s longest lake. While exploring the waters, we came across a man chest-deep in the water. He was collecting mussels from the bottom of the lake. After touring the lake in a canoe, we got to experience a live cooking show. The Chef at the Grand Ayur Resort (Spice Country Resorts) set up a special cooking station on the property to teach us what it takes to make two mouth-watering Kerala Seafood and Malayali food. With over twenty spices, the Chef slow-cooked these dishes to perfection and then wrapped them in banana leaves. We couldn’t wait to dig into them! Jonathan and Granite give you a full description of the flavors and textures of these dishes, as we gain a new appreciation for Kerala’s culinary culture. We are lucky enough to be in Kerala during the Hindu Festival Season. In our next video, we get to experience our first Temple Festival at the Odampally Temple. You won’t want to miss this celebration.

We are back in India! It felt good to wake up in our airport hotel and hit the streets in search of good, South India breakfast. Of course, we have two things on our minds: idly and dosa! Our favorite breakfast of all time. After a quick google search, we find out that there is a Saravanan Bhavan just down the street. Once our bellies are full, we head back to the hotel to pack because our driver is waiting to take us 50km to Alleppey. We are spending the next 4 days/3 nights at the Grand Ayur Resort (Sice Country Resorts) on the Kerala backwaters of Lake Kaithapuzha. In this video, we will take you along with us to breakfast, as we travel by car and boat to get to our resort, and then show you the entire resort property. This place has so much space for the kids to run and many outside activities to keep them occupied (pool, hammocks, mini-play ground, basketball, and badminton). We also take a sunset boat ride around the Kerala backwaters. There are more activities to come and even a live cooking show! In our next video, we spend the day relaxing on the backwaters!

Today’s video is all about Singapore’s famous JEWEL. The Jewel is a huge complex made up of shops, restaurants, and interactive components for kids of all ages. It is several levels high and holds the world’s largest indoor waterfall. Just like the rest of Singapore, the plants and green design are incredible. We start at the Food Republic hawker center where we get to choose from international cuisines from around Asia. After lunch, we take the kids to the Canopy Park: Mirror Maze, Discovery Slides, Foggy Bowls, and the Bouncing Net. The kids have the best time and get to work out some of their wiggles before getting on the airplane. If you have about four hours to kill in the airport, we highly recommend bringing your family to the Jewel. We hope you enjoyed this video. Feel free to SHARE this with your friends and family who might be traveling through Singapore. In our next video, we interrupt our travel videos to celebrate YOU and all of our 100K SUBSCRIBERS!!!

In this video, we head to a local hawker centre, Ang Mo Kio 628 Market. We figured there must be a way to eat all this delicious food at a more affordable (daily) rate. We started asking our taxi/ Grab drivers, who suggested this neighborhood hawker centre. The food options were outstanding! Cedar was focused on trying Singapore’s National Dish: Chicken Rice. We also stumbled upon Kaya Toast, which happens to pop up in many Google searches and from our audience’s comments. Kaya is coconut jam. We even found a delicious vegetarian option for Kelly, even though she is recovering from her operation and missed this hawker centre. Watch until the end to find out who enjoyed the vegetarian dish the most. You might be surprised! We didn’t think to film this as a food challenge, but we did feed all four of us on less than $15 USD. I’m thinking we might need another Singapore food challenge in the future. We hope you enjoyed this video. Feel free to SHARE this with your friends and family who might be interested in exploring Singapore. In our next video, we explore Singapore’s famous Jewel at the Changi Airport! —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — bagspackedfamily@bossmgmtgrp.com » Want to say, "Hi!" — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

What to do: A whole day in Singapore! This has to be one of the easiest cities to get around. The bus system seems very convenient and you can use the Grab App. In this video, we decide to explore the city on foot. The sidewalks are huge, clean, and shaded with huge trees and plants. It’s just a walking-friendly city. We start on Orchard Street and head to 313@Somerset mall for boba teas. We head towards the marina walking through Fort Canning Park and then to the famous Merlion statue (about 4km). Afterward, the kids were getting tired so we took a Grab to the Gardens By the Bay for dinner and a light show. It was amazing to see the whole park lit up at night. We hope you enjoyed this video. Feel free to SHARE this with your friends and family who might be interested in exploring Singapore. In our next video, I (Kelly) head into surgery while Jonathan and the kids find another hawker centre. Watch to find out which foods they decide to try this time! —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — bagspackedfamily@bossmgmtgrp.com » Want to say, "Hi!" — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

When you visit Singapore, you must eat at a hawker centre. Hawker centres are open-air complexes that have many food stalls. There are hawker centres all over Singapore, associated with apartment buildings and neighborhoods. The cuisine ranges from all over the world and has many affordable options. We went to Newton Food Centre and tried to eat on a budget. Of course, Granite had to try Singapore’s famous chili crab, so we knew that we had already gone over our budget. It was totally worth it! We try to eat a large variety of dishes without getting too full (so we can save room for dessert). Join us on this Singapore Hawker Centre experience. We got appetizers, main dishes, drinks, and desserts. We sat with a fun couple and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the hawker centre atmosphere. I have a feeling this will not be the only hawker centre that we enjoy. We hope you enjoyed this video. Feel free to SHARE this out with your friends and family who might be interested in this type of adventure. In our next video, we find ourselves with a whole day to explore Singapore before Kelly’s surgery. Kelly’s arm is uncomfortable, but her spirits are high and she wants to soak up as much of the Singapore scene as she can before her surgery. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — bagspackedfamily@bossmgmtgrp.com » Want to say, "Hi!" — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

Waking up in the heart of the jungle! We hope you join us today as we wake up in the jungle. You will get to see what our campsite looks like and how we eat together. Then, we head out for a 1.5-hour jungle trek along the riverbed. Eventually, we end our trek at a big river, where we switch from hiking to river tubing! Check out how the tubes are all connected to make a huge family-sized raft. We rafted for over an hour, with an Indonesian food lunch of mei goreng (fried noodles) and fresh-cut fruit. Yesterday’s trek was all about the Orangutans and wildlife, today is all about river rafting. We end the night with a huge traditional Sumatra dinner at our guide’s home. We highly recommend this trek! Our family has great memories that we will be talking about for years. We hope you enjoyed this video. Feel free to SHARE this video with your friends and family who might be interested in this type of adventure. ** Watch until the end… UNEXPECTED ENDING!

Durian is the most banned fruit in the WORLD! Why? Is it because it's known as the world's smelliest fruit? Durian is actually one of the most nutritious fruits and has many health benefits. It is native to Indonesia. You eat the fruit of this tree, which grows to be 15 - 30 cm and is covered with a thick spikey shell. Inside the covering, the yellow or white colored flesh surrounds big seeds. The fleshy fruit is what we try in today’s episode. Join us at the famous Ucok Durian shop and restaurant. There are different ways you can buy this fruit: the whole fruit, de-seeded, or in ice cream, dessert drinks (cendol), pancakes, and more. Today, we decided to try just the fruit. We try two different types, one that is sweet and one that is “savory.” It is hard to describe the flavors of durian, but we will try out best. If this fruit is so healthy and millions of people eat it, then why is it banned from taxis, buses, and hotel rooms all over southeast Asia? It has a very strong pungent smell, that lingers and is difficult to get rid of. It smells kind of like rotten garbage or vomit. Watch this video to find out who likes durian in the Bags Packed Family or who is going to pass on it. Would you try this controversial fruit? Come on, speak up! Who’s side are you on? (15:51) Thank you to both @MarkWiens and @thefoodranger for showcasing this amazing fruit! —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — bagspackedfamily@bossmgmtgrp.com » Want to say, "Hi!" — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

There are so many street food options in Medan, Indonesia! Jonathan and the kids had a craving for some pork (babi), and it didn’t take them long to find Chasio Afoek 88. Chasio Afoek 88 is an Indonesian restaurant focusing on delicious chasio and siobak (which are different types of pork). We ended up with a mixed platter, and it was delicious! We have tried babi in a few different Indonesian islands now, and each time it is prepared a little different. It is always delicious, though. After the meal, the wonderful staff surprised us with yummy Indonesian desserts. You won’t believe how much we paid for this amazing meal. Stick around to the end of the video to find out. Comment below if you know what the name of the fruit is in the orange dessert. We never figured it out. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — bagspackedfamily@bossmgmtgrp.com » Want to say, "Hi!" — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

Is this Medan’s newest mall? We are not sure, but it is super clean and has that new feel to it. Join us as we go in search of dinner and a movie! We find a great sushi restaurant that has something for all of us. As you will notice the movie idea doesn’t work out for us, so the kids lead to another favorite of theirs: an arcade! On the way, Forest finds his own little kids' play area called KiDiZilla. Wait until you see how much fun Forest has here! We love walking the streets in search of street food, but we also enjoy switching things up. It was awesome to hear Granite ask about @Dale_Philip at (7:00) What other kid-friendly places are in Medan?

From the moment we step off the plane, all we can think about is food! This video shows how we get from the Kualanamu Airport (Medan, Sumatra) to the Swiss-Belinnl: Planes, Trains, and on foot! Along the way, we find fast food, street treats, and cengmi ayam babi (noodle soup). We love finding street food and signature dishes, and we look forward to exploring more culinary options in Medan. We spend the next few days at the Swiss-Belinn, which we chose because it is within walking distance of the airport train and popular street food. If you love Indonesian food, especially from Sumatra, send us your suggestions in the comments and/or on Instagram.

It’s time for Forest to get another street haircut. This time in Delhi India! There are tons of barbershops and hair salons in Delhi, but we were looking for an open-air street barber.

If you want luxury, you must stay at The Leela Palace in New Delhi. We usually try to budget travel as much as possible, but after six weeks of traveling, we decided to splurge. From the airport pick-up to the food to the friendly staff, we felt thoroughly pampered. We enjoyed the buffets, the pool, and the weight room. Kelly was looking forward to the spa, but it was booked up…next time (because all of the options looked amazing)! If you travel to India with or without your family, you should treat yourself to The Leela Palace. If you live in India, this is a great place for a staycation!

Jonathan is back! Thank you to everyone for reaching out with well wishes. In this video, we leave our hotel and head to an Airbnb. Listen to the description of how it is listed online (Jonathan reads it to you in the video); you will also want to go, as well. It sounds magical, and for us, we felt it was. We didn’t know that we needed space to spread out until we got to this house after six weeks of traveling nonstop. This Airbnb is made of wood and mud. The host has been amazing, informative, and accommodating. Honestly, he has thought of everything with this home, and you will see this as you listen to him give us a tour of the home. This homestay comes with a cooking service, and the chef is amazing. Each day we choose a few items from a menu, then the chef buys the ingredients and cooks us a fantastic dinner. If you visit McLeod Ganj or Dharamshala, consider staying at this spacious Airbnb. Within a few blocks, you will find the grocery store, a laundry service, a few restaurants, and access to taxis (though the homestay host will help you find a taxi service so you can visit the temples, the cricket stadium, waterfalls, or even to get to the Triund trail).

Join us as we go on a Market Hunt in McLeod Ganj! Plus, we have two delicious meals: D.Town Bakery and the Tibetan Kitchen. This is going to be a video unlike any we have ever made! The first thing you will notice is that Jonathan is missing! Well, he isn’t missing, he just can’t join us. He caught a stomach bug (his first stomach bug in 8 years of traveling) and can’t be away from a bathroom. So, the kids and I (Kelly) are heading out on the town for food and a market. Join us as we explore the streets of this beautiful mountain town. We find street food vendors, lots of trinkets and hand-made crafts, a musician, and even an arcade! We definitely missed having Jonathan with us, but we hope you enjoy this anyways! Don’t worry, he will be back in the next video. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.

We made it to the mountains in northern India! This adventure started at 3:00 AM. Join us as we explore McLeod Ganj, a town next to the famous Dharamsala. This is the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh at the edge of the Himalayas. Our travel adventure goal was to explore the Himalayas in Nepal, Pakistan, and now India. McLeod Ganj is a beautiful mountain town, so different than anything we have experienced in India so far. It is a beautiful mix of Indian and Tibetan cultures. The exiled Tibetan government headquarters is located here. We’ll show you our hotel, take a walk through the town markets, and find lunch along the way. Before we call it a day, we visit the beautiful Kalachakra Temple, one of many Buddhist temples in this area. —————————————————— 📧 CONNECT WITH US » Business Inquiries — hello@bagspackedfamily.com 📱GET MORE CONTENT » Instagram — https://instagram.com/bagspackedfamily » Facebook — https://facebook.com/bagspackedfamily » TikTok — www.tiktok.com/@bagspackedfamily 🎵 COPYRIGHT FREE MUSIC » https://www.epidemicsound.com/referral/60bjrt 🌏 AIRBNB » https://www.airbnb.com/c/jonathanr5149?currency=USD 🗺 BOOK YOUR HOTEL » https://www.booking.com/index.html?aid=2250017 📸 CAMERA GEAR » Camera — https://amzn.to/33A80CH » Mod — https://amzn.to/3tMBtUC » Grip — https://amzn.to/3tJsKCO » Wind Blocker — https://amzn.to/3IpJ3J3 —————————————————— ABOUT US We are the Bags Packed Family: Jonathan and Kelly with our three children.
