Join the Bags Packed Family on our longest and most chaotic Indian train journey yet: a full 27 hours from Kolkata (Shalimar) to Chennai! We battle the madness of Shalimar station, stuff ourselves with platform snacks, board the sleeper train, and live every minute of the ride: all the meals served on board, epic chats with locals, squeezing a family of 5 into tiny berths, a complete price breakdown… and Jonathan almost getting LEFT BEHIND at a stop, not once but TWICE!

🗺️ ABOUT US
We’re Jonathan and Kelly, a family of five traveling the world together—one street market, homeschool lesson, and passport stamp at a time. After years of teaching overseas and a recent chapter living in Alaska, we’re back out exploring new countries and cultures with our three kids in tow.

Our channel is all about real family travel—discovering local food, learning through experiences, and making memories across the globe. Sometimes it’s smooth, sometimes it’s wild, but it’s always an adventure.

Join us as we eat, explore, and learn our way around the world!
