For many families, the summer season is associated with the search for the perfect vacation spot. Lawyer and blogger Inna Miroshnichencho chose Indonesia for this purpose. Along with her four children — daughters Mia and Angelina, and sons Mark and Marcel — she spends almost two months on the island of Bali. In an interview with Slava Demin, published by RBC-Ukraine, Inna revealed the details of organizing the trip and shared real expense figures that can be useful for planning travel.

Flights: The Main Expense

According to the blogger, the most expensive part of the trip was the flights themselves. The family of six spent a total of 367,000 hryvnias on tickets. Inna noted that the price depends heavily on the timing of purchase and logistics, but the current market situation dictates its own terms.

"Tickets depend on how far in advance you buy them and how convenient the routing is. But now, after the war started in the East, tickets cost an average of 80,000 UAH per person. Before, they cost 50,000," she explained.

Accommodation: Jungle Instead of Ocean

Due to the large number of children, a villa with three bedrooms was a mandatory requirement for accommodation. The family chose a spacious house located far from the ocean but surrounded by jungle. The villa has its own pool, a large kitchen, and parking.

Rental costs in Bali vary widely — from $500 to $2,000 per month, depending on the age of the building and location. Inna Miroshnichenko noted that options that are 5–7 years old, especially those far from tourist centers, are rented cheaper. In the end, the family spends $2,500 per month on housing.

"There are almost no villas by the ocean, especially new and beautiful ones. They are old and very expensive there. When we were just looking for ourselves, it was somewhere around $15,000 per month by the ocean," Inna shared.

Food and Transport

Food issues on the island are resolved individually. Prices for products in local supermarkets are comparable to those in Kyiv. However, you can save significantly at the markets, although local sellers often inflate prices for tourists. In such situations, Inna turns to the villa manager for help.

"In general, for food, I think no more than $500. I think we spend more because there are associated expenses," she admitted.

Transport costs also play a role in the budget. The family often uses taxis, where one ride costs approximately 100–120 hryvnias.
