  • 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.

👋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! 🌏

  • 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.

  • We’re back at our homebase in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 ! The weather’s still looking glorious and the view is spectacular no matter where you look. 

It’s my favorite city in the world for good reason! 🌎 Sadly it’s our last few months here ( heading to our next destination in May for work); we’re feeling kinda sad to leave but also making the most of our remaining time here.

Here are some awesome spots we’ve discovered recently that are featured in the reel:

🗻 The Rock: easily the best sunset views 
🍳 Our Local Kloof St: a lush cafe n brunch spot 
🍹 Aperitif: a hip cocktail bar with excellent sandos
🚪 Bo Kaap: the colorful Cape Malay district 
🍷 Zevenwacht wine estate: for delicious well-priced wine and green fields 
🛝 Curious kids festival: held this weekend

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, I urge you to go and see for yourself. Mexico is not a scary place that it’s made out to be. 👋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! 🌏 Safety in Mexico | is Mexico safe | Mexico travel | Mexico family travel #livinginmexico #mexicowithkids #digitalnomadfamily

We’re back at our homebase in Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 ! The weather’s still looking glorious and the view is spectacular no matter where you look. It’s my favorite city in the world for good reason! 🌎 Sadly it’s our last few months here ( heading to our next destination in May for work); we’re feeling kinda sad to leave but also making the most of our remaining time here. Here are some awesome spots we’ve discovered recently that are featured in the reel: 🗻 The Rock: easily the best sunset views 🍳 Our Local Kloof St: a lush cafe n brunch spot 🍹 Aperitif: a hip cocktail bar with excellent sandos 🚪 Bo Kaap: the colorful Cape Malay district 🍷 Zevenwacht wine estate: for delicious well-priced wine and green fields 🛝 Curious kids festival: held this weekend Cape town south africa | cape town with kids | living in cape town #capetown #capetownwithkids #travelwithkids

My kid is only 10 but she’s pretty damn cool, don’t you think? She’s already been to 60+ countries across 6 continents. At her age, I’d never even been out of my country. 🌍 Where are you from? have we visited your country? Or should we go there soon? 👀 Follow @wildjunket for family travel inspo, digital nomad lifestyle tips & itinerary ideas to inspire your next adventure!
