Toby Catlin recently visited Bali, with his 3 1/2 year old daughter Maya (who’s mother is actually a Mayan indian!). Taking a young kid to a hot, tropical country, with question marks over accommodation, transportation and food safety, is a risk. Toby was willing to go for it, and shares his Bali experience.

Travelling with a young kid scares a lot of people. Just the thought of a trans-oceanic flight, long layover and dealing with baggage, Customs, taxis and hotels, is enough to put a lot of people off.

Monkey Forest in Ubud is one of the main attractions. The thing that makes it handy, is its located on the loop around downtown Ubud. I pass it 5 times a day when I’m in Ubud, just trying to get somewhere. Ika and I have taken Jevon to Monkey Forest and I reckon its okay [...]
