The Boundless Life Crew have been delighted to welcome families from the west coast of the United States - and, indeed, from all over North America - to our European destinations of Portugal, Greece and Italy. Our fourth location, Bali, opens in July 2023. Here are 6 reasons why it might be easier than you think to swap Cali for Bali.
