✈️ Travel writer & @lonelyplanet author 🌎 Sharing all about digital nomad family travel 🗺️Visited 150 countries 📍 Singaporean in Mexico 🇲🇽
  • 🌎 As digital nomads, we’ve called many places home. But Mexico will always hold a piece of our hearts. 🇲🇽🌮🪅

For 4 years, Mexico shaped the way we live, parent, and travel. It gave us more than memories — it gave us a place that felt like home. 

We got to know the people, the culture and different parts of the country: from the pristine Caribbean beaches to the chaotic but soulful Mexico City, the remote areas of Copper Canyon to the jungles of Chiapas. We joined in celebrations that showed my family joy, tradition and togetherness. 🇲🇽✨ 

It’s where strangers welcomed us like family, where our kid learned the importance of culture and where we discovered the true meaning of celebrating life.

So on this Día de la Independencia, we’re saying gracias, México. For teaching us that family travel isn’t just about seeing the world — it’s about connection, perspective, and shared adventure. ❤️ 🎉🇲🇽

  • If safety is holding you back from traveling with your family, here are 5 of the safest countries in the world ✨ 

BBC has just published the ranking of the safest countries from the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2025. It measures countries across three domains: societal safety and security, ongoing domestic or international conflict and level of militarisation.

🇵🇹 Portugal – Not only family-friendly, but also one of Europe’s most peaceful. Warm hospitality, low crime rates, and a relaxed pace of life make it a perfect introduction to Europe for travelers.

🇸🇬 Singapore – Ultra-clean, efficient, and secure. Whether it’s late-night street food markets or the MRT subway, Singapore is one of the easiest (and safest) countries to explore with kids.

🇮🇸 Iceland – Number one on the Global Peace Index year after year. With almost no violent crime, breathtaking nature, and a tight-knit community culture, it’s a place where even kids nap in strollers outside cafés.

🇨🇭 Switzerland – Known for neutrality and stability, Switzerland pairs postcard-perfect landscapes with some of the lowest crime rates in the world.

🇫🇮 Finland – Recently ranked as one of the happiest nations, Finland also ranks high on safety thanks to strong social systems, low crime, and a culture rooted in trust.

  • We’ve traveled South Africa several times but visiting a place is different from actually living in it. It’s been 2 months since we came to Cape Town 🇿🇦 and here are some things we’ve learned:

1️⃣ Power cuts can happen from time to time — they last hours and you need backup plans 🔦

2️⃣ Security is everywhere — electric fences, guards, alarms, even in nice areas 🚨

3️⃣ The diversity is mind-blowing — 11 official languages, so many cultures in one place 🌍

4️⃣ Public transport is sadly non-existent — most people rely 100% on their car 🚘

5️⃣ Service can feel slow — “African time” is a thing ⏳

6️⃣ Safety is an issue — you need to be careful of where you go, some areas like Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain are best avoided ⛔️

7️⃣ Tap water is drinkable in Cape Town — we really appreciate that coming from Mexico 💧

8️⃣ Wildlife is everywhere — baboons on the roadside, eagles in our backyard, penguins on the beach, and game reserves just an hour away 🐧🦁🐒

9️⃣ People are warm and often greet you with a smile, even strangers 🌞

🔟  Groceries are fresh and high quality, and you get SO many options 🛒

  • ⚡️Controversial: As digital nomads, we are living our dream life… but are we also part of a bigger problem?

A few weeks ago, I shared a post about our cost of living in Cape Town 🇿🇦, where we’re currently based. I just wanted to share them for fellow digital nomads and had no intention of upsetting anyone.

It went viral — and with it came a flood of angry comments from Capetonians. Many said digital nomads are pricing out locals and forcing them out of their homes. And they’re not wrong. 💸🏠🛫

The truth is, the digital nomad movement is changing cities. Not just Cape Town. We’ve seen it in Mexico City, Lisbon, Bali, and so many others. Rents go up. Locals leave. The balance shifts. 

And here’s the hard part: we love this life. The freedom, the experiences with our kid and the chance to show her the world. But at the same time, we don’t want to ignore the impact we (and thousands like us) are having.

So what’s the answer? We don’t have a simple one, and we can’t solve the whole problem on our own, but we can be more mindful travelers. Here’s how we try to do better as a digital nomad family…


🏡 Choose locally-owned housing

☕️ Support local businesses daily
🐌 Stay longer, move slower

🏘️ Be mindful about neighborhood choice

🫡Respect local culture & pace


This lifestyle is a privilege. And with it comes responsibility.

Curious — do you think digital nomads are part of the problem, or can we be part of the solution too? 👇

BBC has just published the ranking of the safest countries from the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2025. It measures countries across three domains: societal safety and security, ongoing domestic or international conflict and level of militarisation.

🇵🇹 Portugal – Not only family-friendly, but also one of Europe’s most peaceful. Warm hospitality, low crime rates, and a relaxed pace of life make it a perfect introduction to Europe for travelers.

🇸🇬 Singapore – (where Im from!) Ultra-clean, efficient, and secure. Whether it’s late-night street food markets or the MRT subway, Singapore is one of the easiest (and safest) countries to explore with kids.

🇮🇸 Iceland – #1 on the Global Peace Index year after year. With almost no violent crime, breathtaking nature, and a tight-knit community culture, it’s a place where even kids nap in strollers outside cafés.

🇨🇭 Switzerland – Known for neutrality and stability, Switzerland pairs postcard-perfect landscapes with some of the lowest crime rates in the world.

🇫🇮 Finland – Recently ranked as one of the happiest nations, Finland also ranks high on safety thanks to strong social systems, low crime, and a culture rooted in trust.

👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here. So glad you’re here! 🌏

We’ve traveled South Africa several times but visiting a place is different from actually living in it. It’s been 2 months since we came to Cape Town 🇿🇦 and here are some things we’ve learned: 1️⃣ Power cuts can happen from time to time — they last hours and you need backup plans 🔦 
2️⃣ Security is everywhere — electric fences, guards, alarms, even in nice areas 🚨 
3️⃣ The diversity is mind-blowing — 11 official languages, so many cultures in one place 🌍
 4️⃣ Public transport is sadly non-existent — most people rely 100% on their car 🚘
 5️⃣ Service can feel slow — “African time” is a thing ⏳
 6️⃣ Safety is an issue — you need to be careful of where you go, some areas like Khayelitsha and Mitchells Plain are best avoided ⛔️
 7️⃣ Tap water is drinkable in Cape Town — we really appreciate that coming from Mexico 💧
 8️⃣ Wildlife is everywhere — baboons on the roadside, eagles in our backyard, penguins on the beach, and game reserves just an hour away 🐧🦁🐒
 9️⃣ People are warm and often greet you with a smile, even strangers 🌞
 🔟 Groceries are fresh and high quality, and you get SO many options 🛒 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.

⚡️Controversial: As digital nomads, we are living our dream life… but are we also part of a bigger problem? A few weeks ago, I shared a post about our cost of living in Cape Town 🇿🇦, where we’re currently based. I just wanted to share them for fellow digital nomads and had no intention of upsetting anyone. It went viral — and with it came a flood of angry comments from Capetonians. Many said digital nomads are pricing out locals and forcing them out of their homes. And they’re not wrong. 💸🏠🛫 The truth is, the digital nomad movement is changing cities. Not just Cape Town. We’ve seen it in Mexico City, Lisbon, Bali, and so many others. Rents go up. Locals leave. The balance shifts. And here’s the hard part: we love this life. The freedom, the experiences with our kid and the chance to show her the world. But at the same time, we don’t want to ignore the impact we (and thousands like us) are having. So what’s the answer? We don’t have a simple one, and we can’t solve the whole problem on our own, but we can be more mindful travelers. Here’s how we try to do better as a digital nomad family… 
🏡 Choose locally-owned housing
 ☕️ Support local businesses daily 🐌 Stay longer, move slower
 🏘️ Be mindful about neighborhood choice
 🫡Respect local culture & pace
 This lifestyle is a privilege. And with it comes responsibility. Curious — do you think digital nomads are part of the problem, or can we be part of the solution too? 👇 👋🏻 Hi!
