  • 🌴✨ We found paradise — and it’s called Nosy Iranja 🇲🇬.

We’ve here in northern Madagascar for some much-needed island time and Nosy Iranja has completely swept us off our feet. 

Just a 1.5-hour boat ride from Nosy Be (the main tourist island with international flights), this dreamlike island is actually two islands connected by a white sandbar that disappears at high tide and reappears at low tide 😍

Locals call it the “Turtle Island” 🐢 because sea turtles come ashore here to nest. The tiny islet is home to a small community who make a living from fishing and tourism. 

Crystal-clear turquoise water, soft white sand, and barely a soul around… 🌊 We’re making our daughter’s Moana dreams come alive!

  • In Madagascar, we hiked through a dramatic forest of limestone needles — the incredible Tsingy de Bemaraha — and it felt like exploring another planet.

In Malagasy, Tsingy translates to mean “where one cannot walk barefoot”. A tsingy is a spectacular karst formation of razor-sharp limestone pinnacles in Madagascar. These rock pinnacles are formed by the erosion of limestone, shells, and fossils over millions of years.

🛻 Getting there is half the adventure! 
It’s a long, bumpy drive that includes river crossings and an overnight stop in the Kirindy Forest area — where you can spot lemurs leaping through the trees at sunset. By the time you reach the Tsingy, it already feels like an expedition!

There are two areas to explore:

🌿 Petit Tsingy (Small Tsingy) — a great warm-up with shorter hikes and easier trails.

⛰️ Grand Tsingy (Big Tsingy) — a full-day adventure with suspension bridges, ladders, and narrow rock passages where you clip into a harness and climb through jaw-dropping limestone formations.

💰A local guide is mandatory (and totally worth it). Our entry fee for a family of three was 270,000 ariary — about $60 USD — and our guide Debois, who grew up in the area, was amazing with our daughter, helping her through the technical sections.

Tips for families visiting the Tsingy:

🧗‍♀️ Best suited for kids 10+ who are comfortable climbing and love a challenge.
‼️ Some pinnacles are so sharp they can injure you not careful.
☀️ It gets very hot — bring more water than you think you’ll need.
👟 Wear sturdy shoes and clothes you can move in.
🎒 Start early to beat the sun.

This was one of the most unique and rewarding adventures we’ve ever done as a family — proof that kids can handle big adventures when given the chance. 💪🇲🇬✨

  • If there’s one place where sunset turns into something truly unforgettable… it’s here.

Vermillion rays filter through the ancient silhouettes of Madagascar’s iconic baobabs, casting long shadows across the red earth. The sky burns gold and rose, and the trees — older than memory — stand like guardians of time. 🌅

We first stood here 15 years ago. Just the two of us, wide-eyed honeymooners chasing a life of wonder.

Now, we’ve returned — hand in hand with our daughter. Watching her wander in the shadow of these giants, staring up at the twilight sky, feels like closing a perfect circle.

📍Avenue du Baobab, Madagascar

Would you add this to your bucket list? 🧳

  • 🇲🇽✨ In just 2 weeks, Mexico will be glowing with candles, marigolds, and memory.💀🌼⁣
⁣
Every year, from October 31 to November 2, Mexico celebrates life, death, and everything in between. It’s not just a holiday — it’s one of Mexico’s oldest traditions, uniting generations, families, and communities across the country.⁣

In the 4 years we spent living in Mexico, we celebrated this tradition in different parts of the country, experiencing its soulful rituals and beautiful traditions.
⁣
🕯️ In Oaxaca, the streets turn into a living altar — music, mezcal, sand tapestries, and processions fill the air with reverence and joy.⁣
⁣
🌊 In Michoacán, families in Janitzio keep vigil all night in candlelit cemeteries, singing and offering food to their loved ones who return for just one night.⁣
⁣
🏙️ In Mexico City, massive parades bring La Catrina to life — with dancers, floats, and vibrant skulls that honor both tradition and modern creativity.⁣
⁣
Every place, every altar, every candle reminds us that death isn’t an end. We don’t forget our loved ones — we invite them back.⁣

Our entry fee for a family of three was 270,000 ariary — about $60 USD — and our guide Debois, who grew up in the area, was amazing with our daughter, helping her through the technical sections. Tips for families visiting the Tsingy: 🧗‍♀️ Best suited for kids 10+ who are comfortable climbing and love a challenge. ‼️ Some pinnacles are so sharp they can injure you not careful. ☀️ It gets very hot — bring more water than you think you’ll need. 👟 Wear sturdy shoes and clothes you can move in. 🎒 Start early to beat the sun. This was one of the most unique and rewarding adventures we’ve ever done as a family — proof that kids can handle big adventures when given the chance. 💪🇲🇬✨ 👋 Hi!

If there’s one place where sunset turns into something truly unforgettable… it’s here. Vermillion rays filter through the ancient silhouettes of Madagascar’s iconic baobabs, casting long shadows across the red earth. The sky burns gold and rose, and the trees — older than memory — stand like guardians of time. 🌅 We first stood here 15 years ago. Just the two of us, wide-eyed honeymooners chasing a life of wonder. Now, we’ve returned — hand in hand with our daughter. Watching her wander in the shadow of these giants, staring up at the twilight sky, feels like closing a perfect circle. 📍Avenue du Baobab, Madagascar Would you add this to your bucket list? 🧳 👋 Hi!

🇲🇽✨ In just 2 weeks, Mexico will be glowing with candles, marigolds, and memory.💀🌼⁣
⁣
Every year, from October 31 to November 2, Mexico celebrates life, death, and everything in between. It’s not just a holiday — it’s one of Mexico’s oldest traditions, uniting generations, families, and communities across the country.⁣ In the 4 years we spent living in Mexico, we celebrated this tradition in different parts of the country, experiencing its soulful rituals and beautiful traditions.
⁣
🕯️ In Oaxaca, the streets turn into a living altar — music, mezcal, sand tapestries, and processions fill the air with reverence and joy.⁣
⁣
🌊 In Michoacán, families in Janitzio keep vigil all night in candlelit cemeteries, singing and offering food to their loved ones who return for just one night.⁣
⁣
🏙️ In Mexico City, massive parades bring La Catrina to life — with dancers, floats, and vibrant skulls that honor both tradition and modern creativity.⁣
⁣
Every place, every altar, every candle reminds us that death isn’t an end. We don’t forget our loved ones — we invite them back.⁣
