  • Every time we share stories from our travels - whether that’s Madagascar, Ethiopia or Pakistan, someone asks:�“Isn’t that dangerous?”�“Don’t you think it’s unsafe for kids?”

And what I’ve noticed? 🤨�The advice usually comes from people who’ve never even been to the places we’re going.

People love to give opinions — especially when you didn’t ask for them. 

But I stopped letting other people’s fears shape my life a long time ago.

We chose to:�• Travel the world with our kid�• Step away from conventional paths�• Create freedom as a family�• Work fully remote to support this life

  • Madagascar is one of my favorite places on Earth and Im SO thankful we got to share it with my daughter! That said, Madagascar isn’t an easy place to travel and comes with its challenges. 🇲🇬

In Part 1, I shared the first part of our Madagascar itinerary and how we planned our trip around Morondava and Western Madagascar. 

[‼️Comment MADA for a link to my free guide to Madagascar with kids.] 

✈️ How we did it (Part 2)

For the second half of our trip, we flew to the island of Nosy Be, a popular tourist destination. Our return flights from Antananarivo to Nosy Be cost €323/person. It’s more developed than the mainland and there are more tourists, but you’ll still find simple villages and islanders living their lives. Loved the island vibes here and had a blast goingon day trips to different islands each day!

🛺 How we got around 

Nosy Be has very good roads (way better than Western Madagascar) and it’s easy to hire tuktuks everywhere. We hired a tuktuk with a driver for €28 (5hours) to explore the island. Olivier was an excellent driver who spoke some English and made sure we hit all the places we wanted to. You can also rent scooters for just €15/day.

⛴️ Day trips 

We booked day tours to nearby islands Nosy Iranja and Nosy Sakatia with @MadaAssist (for around €80-150/person). It was easy to book through WhatsApp and they provided the best prices of all the companies I talked to, plus customer support was excellent.

🏨 Accommodation

There’s no shortage of hotels on Nosy Be for all budgets. They are well priced and have pretty good standards. We stayed at @loharano_lodge on Nosy Be for 4 nights and @manjakelylodge on Nosy Komba for 3 nights.

Most of them have restaurants that offer meals. There are a few seafood restaurants dotted around Nosy Be, but most are concentrated around the island’s capital Hell-ville.

  • Last week, the Mexican military killed a cartel leader in the Jalisco region. Violence erupted across Jalisco, with fires all over Puerto Vallarta. A shelter-in-place order was issued within the region.

The situation lasted a few days, and normal life has resumed in most parts of Mexico. I have many friends currently in Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Puerto Vallarta and they are all reporting that life is back to normal these days.

We lived in Mexico for 4 years and saw firsthand how Mexico is far safer than what the news will tell you. What’s been portrayed in the news this week, is not the reality most Mexicans live every day. 🇲🇽🌮🫔

Cartels are not having shootouts on the streets of Mexico City. In Oaxaca, there are more celebrations than murders. The Yucatecan city of Merida is considered safer than any city in the United States. 

I don’t diminish the violence. But not all of Mexico is dangerous and more often than not, tourists are not the target. So if you’re wondering if you should cancel your upcoming trip to Mexico m, I urge you to go and see for yourself. Mexico is not a scary place that it’s made out to be.
