  • How do I juggle all that and fit travel into a busy lifestyle? 🤹‍♀️

I don’t have a trust fund and I’m not constantly going on sponsored trips or press stays. But I do have…

1️⃣ A supportive husband. We both take responsibility for our kid equally and he plays loads with her while I take care of all her school work and socializing.

 2️⃣ A lot of drive and determination. It’s years of hard work to carve this career that I love and a lot of brave leaps to get to where I am today.

3️⃣ Adaptability and being able to evolve/pivot with the times. I’ve been travel blogging/writing for 17 years and have had to overcome lots of challenges, like covid, AI and Google algorithm changes.

4️⃣ I outsource and pay for help: including a cleaner to help with chores at home, and an assistant to work on my sites and handle ad-hoc tasks.

5️⃣ We both work fully remotely, which means we are completely flexible to travel for weeks on end and whenever we like.

6️⃣ We spend a lot on travel, but other than that, we don’t buy a lot of things and generally keep ourselves well away from consumerism.

  • When we traveled Kenya with our kid when she was just 4, friends and family weren’t quite sure it was a good idea. 😳⁣
⁣
People worried about safety, logistics, and if it was really a place for little ones.⁣⁣ 
⁣⁣
In truth, Kenya is one of the most epic, enriching, and awe-inspiring places we’ve ever explored as a family. 🐘🌍🦒

Our kid thrived — asking questions, spotting wildlife, connecting with people, and seeing the world in a whole new way. 

[Comment KENYA if you’d like a link to my free guide to Kenya with kids!]

Pack a sense of adventure and a positive attitude, and you’ll be sure to have an epic adventure in Kenya with kids.

⁣
Here are some tips for traveling Kenya with kids: 🇰🇪 

✔️ Get yellow fever vaccinations (and bring proof if you’re traveling onward). They last a lifetime so you only need to get them 

✔️ Prepare safari-themed activity books for the little ones (they can play with while on game drives).

✔️ Pack a pair of kids’ binoculars and kids’ camera to make wildlife-spotting even more fun for them!

✔️ Pack neutral-colored clothes for safari — skip the bright colors (they attracts biting flies).

✔️ Bring layers — it gets chilly on early morning game drives!

✔️ Plan kid-friendly downtime between big travel days — safaris are thrilling, but long.

✔️ Travel insurance, always.⁣

  • 2 weeks in and we’re in love with Cape Town! Here’s why:

1️⃣ Wildlife is everywhere – spotting penguins at Boulders Beach, seals at the harbor, and ostriches on the roadside make every day feel like a little safari. 🦒

2️⃣ Nature is part of daily life – hikes, beaches, mountains… it’s easy to get outside and into nature without needing to go far. 🏔️

3️⃣ So much culture to explore – from local markets and museums to colorful neighborhoods like Bo-Kaap, there’s plenty to experience (and talk about) as a family. 🪘

4️⃣ Tons of space to play – parks like Green Point Urban Park and Kirstenbosch Gardens are perfect for running around, climbing, and picnic breaks. 🌿

5️⃣ The weather helps – Cape Town gets a lot of sunshine even in winter, which makes being outside pretty effortless most of the year. ☀️

If you’re traveling with kids, Cape Town is one of those places that impresses even the little ones!

  • Studies link adventures to more meaningful relationships and happier lives. 

So no, it’s not a luxury to travel and have fun with your kids, It’s essential.
 
Whether it’s a local weekend away camping, a beach holiday or a hike in the mountains — take the trip! 🥾⛺️⛰️🌎

Because what you’re really packing…is connection.

  • I’ve been living abroad for 20 years now — and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

You don’t have to have it all figured out to get started. Your first move doesn’t have to be forever. And your dream life doesn’t arrive all at once.

I started out studying abroad in the US, got a work holidaymaker visa in UK, then lived on a spouse visa in Spain and the Netherlands, before getting temporary residency in Mexico.

Now, we’re spending a few months living in Cape Town, South Africa, and absolutely loving it! 🙌

Every step has taught me something new. And the biggest concern I see most people have about moving abroad? Waiting until it’s “the right time.” 

If your gut keeps whispering “I want more…” Listen to it. Because life doesn’t wait.

  • These simple travel hacks have saved us thousands of dollars over the years — and they’ve made it possible to travel tons. 💸✨

1️⃣ Stay flexible with dates 📅

Travel during the shoulder season often cut airfares by half. Even adjusting our travel dates by a day or two has made a huge difference. This year alone, we slashed airfare to Chile and Argentina by flying home two days after the school break ended.

 2️⃣ Go glamping or camping 🏕️ 

We love glamping — it’s not only cheaper to stay in wooden cabins than Airbnbs, you get to spend time in nature too. 

A great platform to use is @glampinghub — I’ve found beautiful bell tents in places that we didn’t know about, like Sierra Gorda in Mexico!

3️⃣ Stay further out to cut cost on accommodation 🏰

Staying in the city centers is convenient but it can be expensive. By veering further out, you can get great deals in some amazing places. 

On our last trip to Salamanca, Spain, we found an incredible castle hotel outside of town for less than $100/night and surrounded by vineyards and pools. 

4️⃣ Cook your own meals 🥘

Dining out for every meal adds up fast. It might sound small, but grabbing groceries and cooking at your rental can seriously slash your daily expenses.

On our recent trip to Chile, we ate out for lunch but made simple breakfasts and dinners in the apartment. Way cheaper and gives us downtime in the evenings.

5️⃣ Make your own magic ✨

When we’re traveling as a family, we almost never book tours or guides. We’ve always been independent travelers and we love creating our own adventures! 🧭

In Patagonia, we did a super fun Easter Egg hunt for our daughter. And in Madrid, we visited fun museums that provided great background knowledge for our Spain trip. 🙌

  • Is it worth venturing out into Amsterdam on a 16-hour layover? 🇳🇱

Hell yeah! The train to the center only takes 30minutes, and the city doesn’t sleep till late. 🚞

We lived in Amsterdam for 4 years and haven’t been back since then, so we knew we had to make the most of our layover! We landed at 6pm and still had plenty of time to head into town, wander around the historic center, and meet up with friends for dinner. 🥘 

Here’s what we did:

🚆 Catch the train from Schiphol Airport to Centraal for €10.70 return (€2.5 for kids)

🚣 Stroll along Damrak and get canal views

🏫  Wander around Dam Square and admire the beautiful architecture 

🎭 Marvel at the mosaic art along the De Beurpassage

🥟 Feast on authentic HK style dimsum at my favorite Oriental City

  • Who’s ready to learn more about South Africa with us? 🇿🇦 We’re so excited for this new chapter in our life, and cannot wait to get under the skin of the Mother City!

You know we LOVE Mexico — but we’d lived there for 4 years, and as a digital nomad family who can live anywhere, we felt that it was time to move on and get to know a different part of the world. 

Over the next few months, we plan to explore Cape Town thoroughly, and venture out to and do:

🐋 Day trips to nearby towns and see penguins in Simons Town and sharks and whales in Hermanus 

🚙 Roadtrips to the Cape of Good Hope, Garden Route and Panaroma Route

🌵Camping trip around the dunes and deserts of Namibia

🐒 Return to Madagascar where we honeymooned 

🇪🇹 Travel around Ethiopia as it’s on my kid’s bucket list!

Who’s ready to learn more about South Africa with us? 🇿🇦 We’re so excited for this new chapter in our life, and cannot wait to get under the skin of the Mother City! You know we LOVE Mexico — but we’d lived there for 4 years, and as a digital nomad family who can live anywhere, we felt that it was time to move on and get to know a different part of the world. Over the next few months, we plan to explore Cape Town thoroughly, and venture out to and do: 🐋 Day trips to nearby towns and see penguins in Simons Town and sharks and whales in Hermanus 🚙 Roadtrips to the Cape of Good Hope, Garden Route and Panaroma Route 🌵Camping trip around the dunes and deserts of Namibia 🐒 Return to Madagascar where we honeymooned 🇪🇹 Travel around Ethiopia as it’s on my kid’s bucket list! 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here. So glad you’re here! 🌏 #southafrica #capetown #travelfamily #livingabroad #worldschooling #familytravel #learningeverywhere #travelwithkids #educationeverywhere #digitalnomadfamily
