- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- Welcome to another exciting episode with Bags Packed Family! 🎒 In this installment, join us on our incredible journey as we embark on a 350-mile drive from Fairbanks to the stunning Mat Su Valley in Alaska to lay eyes on our new home for the very first time. 🚗🏠
But before we get to the grand reveal of our Alaskan dream home, we had to make a pit stop at a local grocery store to stock up on essentials for the house. Trust us, you won't want to miss our grocery haul adventure in the Last Frontier! 🛒🍽️
Once we finally arrived at our new house, we couldn't wait to give you a tour. We'll walk you through every nook and cranny, showcasing our simple living Alaska style, and provide a glimpse into what life in Alaska is really like. 🏞️❄️
As the excitement builds, we're eagerly awaiting the arrival of our kids, who will be joining us in just one week. That leaves us with only 5 days to do as much shopping as possible and get the house ready for their arrival. Can we pull it off? Stay tuned to find out! 🏡🛍️
Additionally, we want to make the most of our 3 short weeks in Alaska before we head back to Indonesia to continue our teaching jobs. The clock is ticking, and we're ready to make the most of our Alaskan adventure. ⏳🗺️

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.
Our vlogs capture our exciting escapades, and we hope they'll ignite your passion for travel and exploration too! Join us on this thrilling ride as we discover new places, forge unforgettable memories, and create a legacy of wanderlust for our children and all those who follow our journey. Let our travels inspire you to embark on your adventures and discover the beauty and diversity the world has to offer!

Beautiful loving caring couples!❤❤❤
It's really good to have your own house! Congrats John n Kelly, I'm happy for you 🥰 I can see it'll be a great house with a lot of things that your kids could do. Cedar can have some pet ducks with a pond, forest can have a tree house, and maybe Granite will have a green thumb, planting veggies, herbs, etc or maybe even wood carving 😁
That all sounds so wonderful!
WOW, your house is like a mansion it is huge! Are you rich vloggers, you just popped up on my youtube watch list so I haven't seen you both before. No mess, the house is perfect just furniture and food! A cleaner, and a realtor that organises furniture deliveries for you! WOW this is how some people live I am amazed at your wealth and space.
Thank you so much for checking us out! We actually live and work full time in West Papua Indonesia. We are renting the house out to a family friend while we're in Indonesia. It will eventually become full time home.
What an amazing house! Sight unseen too!
So happy for you...

Congratulations on your beautiful home. I have faith that you will get everything finished!!!!🎉 In the main bathroom, a half glass door will work great. That way, there isn't a need for moving doors to deal with. Good luck in your future, and enjoy your new home.

Congrats you guys, so happy for u! We live in a similar wooded setting on Vancouver Island, beside a provincial park, it’s the most relaxing setting with kids. You will love that wood stove for cozy winters, I love the season changes, one thing that will always bring me bk home to Canada.

Thank you so much! 😊
Good investment 👍👍👍
I found those trash cans under the sink were too small for our family trash but it is a great place to store shopping bags and kitchen towels! Reach in and grab right beside the sink.
wow cool
Beautiful house
It is a big house with wide yard.. nice to live there.... congrat you all
Thank you so much!
Very nice. Best wishes.
Thank you! Cheers!
Congratulations, according to Alaska standard it’s very big house and fancy too.😊
I came across your page, how funny my husband and I lived in Fairbanks for decades. In July 2023 we drove from Fairbanks to Mexico, after renting out our house in town. You said Target but Theres No Target in Fairbanks lol. Looks like your in A newer Home, which was smart because you dont want any issues living somewhere else too. Winters can be really harsh so good having 3 car garage. Wish you the best in our home town. Great place if you can endure dark and cold several months a year.
Thank you so much! We love Fairbanks, and lived there for about a year back in 2007. Our new house is in the Mat-Su Valley. :-)
Nice new house dawg, I hope your kids would like it, good luck on your renovations and decorations, hope to see the full house tour next time when it is done with your kids.
Thank you so much!
Yeayy so excited. Your house look awesome, only basement look scary cause it's dark inside.
Great
BEST water!!! Well water!! 🎉
Agreed!
Love your new house. You might consider putting some drawer pulls and knobs on the cabinets. They will stay cleaner and the finish will last longer.
That's a good idea!
