  • 🇲🇽✨ 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.⁣

  • As digital nomads, we’re incredibly lucky to work remotely and live just about anywhere we want. 🌍💻 But the truth is — it’s not always as carefree as it looks.

Our hours are flexible, which is great... but it also means we’re often working during travel days — at airports, in transit, or trying to meet deadlines before check-ins. Alberto, in particular, has had to attend video meetings at gas stations and in the car. 😩

The only real time we fully unplug is when we’re in a remote destination with limited internet — like right now in Madagascar. 🇲🇬That said, those proper breaks only happen maybe 3–4 weeks a year.

The rest of the time? We’re juggling deadlines with dinner, Zoom calls with timezone math, and emails between experiences. ✈️📬

Yes, it can feel like we’re always working.
But we wouldn’t trade this lifestyle for anything. It’s allowed us to live anywhere we want, experience new cultures, and show our kid a world far bigger than a classroom.

The freedom comes with responsibility — but the rewards? Unmatched. 🙌

In China 🇨🇳 …
she practiced speaking Mandarin, learned Chinese calligraphy, learned about yaks, made pottery with the spinning wheel and tried all kinds of Chinese food 🍲!

In Peru 🇵🇪…
she learned about the Inca civilization, the history of Machu Picchu, how oasis is formed and the importance of quinoa, alpacas and llamas 🦙.

In Finland 🇫🇮…
she learned how igloos are built, how reindeers are important to the Sámi people, saw the Northern Lights for the first time and visited Santa 🎅!

In Argentina 🇦🇷…
she learned about the Spanish colonialization, about how glaciers form, about the megalodon, ate the best steaks and did her longest hike 🥾.

In South Africa 🇿🇦…
she learned about different kinds of wildlife, about the fynbos, about the apartheid and Nelson Mandela and how he fought for his country’s freedom.

In Madagascar 🇲🇬…
she’s learning about the different kinds of lemurs, the evolution of wildlife over millions of years, the formation of stone forests and the idea of democracy.

  • Thanks to our jobs that allow us to work fully remote, we’re able to live anywhere we want and show our kid the world!

🌎 Alberto and I have always traveled, since  we met as students in Miami 20 years ago. He’s from Spain and I’m from Singapore; and we’ve been traveling with our 10-year-old since she was born.

🌎 I’m a travel writer and my husband is a software engineer. We both work fully remote but to make this life sustainable, we tend to maintain a base in a country and travel from there.

🌎 Currently our base is South Africa 🇿🇦, and we’re exploring the country thoroughly and sharing all the wonderful kid-friendly places worth visiting here.

🌎 Our priority is to teach our kid life skills and lessons she cannot learn in the classroom. I share how we worldschool and turn every travel moment into learning opportunities.

🌎 With my work as a travel writer, we sometimes get to experience pretty special places and hotels, and I get paid to write about it. I will be sharing more of how I make a living.

Any of this sound like something you can relate to? Follow along @wildjunket for travel ideas, itineraries, and the realities of travel as a digital nomad family. 🌏

  • Madagascar is not an easy place to travel, especially with kids. But if you come with an open mind and a sense of adventure, the whole family will be rewarded with some of the world’s most unique wildlife and travel experiences.

Here are some important things to know:

🚸 Only a small percentage of Madagascar’s roads are paved — be prepared for long, bumpy drives. The longest drive day we had was 8 hours of non-stop “African massage”. Pack lots of snacks, toilet paper and entertainment! 

⚠️ Best time to visit Madagascar is July to October, but it’s still blazingly hot 🥵. Book hotels with pools; your kids will appreciate it! Some roads (like the one to Tsingy de Bemahara) are closed during rainy season (Dec-Mar) as they get muddy or flooded.

💊 Madagascar is a malaria-affected zone. We are not taking any anti-malarial medicine but we brought them with us just in case. We’re covering ourselves in lotsa insect repellent and long sleeves!

⚡️ Many parts of Madagascar are remote and electricity is scarce - even if you stay in nicer lodges, they might only have power in certain times of the day. We had a few sweaty nights in western Madagascar.

🛜 Expect to be offline most of your time in Madagascar. There’s no cell signal in the remote areas thou internet at high-end lodges is not bad.

✈️ Madagascar Airline is notorious for being unreliable i.e. domestic flights often get canceled. Be prepared with a contingency plan if your flights get canceled.

I’m not saying that school is not important… I just think kids can learn life skills and general knowledge better outside the classroom — through travel and actual experiences.

In China 🇨🇳 …
she practiced speaking Mandarin, learned Chinese calligraphy, learned about yaks, made pottery with the spinning wheel and tried all kinds of Chinese food 🍲!

In Peru 🇵🇪…
she learned about the Inca civilization, the history of Machu Picchu, how oasis is formed and the importance of quinoa, alpacas and llamas 🦙.

In Finland 🇫🇮…
she learned how igloos are built, how reindeers are important to the Sámi people, saw the Northern Lights for the first time and visited Santa 🎅!

In Argentina 🇦🇷…
she learned about the Spanish colonialization, about how glaciers form, about the megalodon, ate the best steaks and did her longest hike 🥾.

In South Africa 🇿🇦…
she learned about different kinds of wildlife, about the fynbos, about the apartheid and Nelson Mandela and how he fought for his country’s freedom.

In Madagascar 🇲🇬…
she’s learning about the different kinds of lemurs, the evolution of wildlife over millions of years, the formation of stone forests and the idea of democracy.

Thanks to our jobs that allow us to work fully remote, we’re able to live anywhere we want and show our kid the world! 🌎 Alberto and I have always traveled, since we met as students in Miami 20 years ago. He’s from Spain and I’m from Singapore; and we’ve been traveling with our 10-year-old since she was born. 🌎 I’m a travel writer and my husband is a software engineer. We both work fully remote but to make this life sustainable, we tend to maintain a base in a country and travel from there. 🌎 Currently our base is South Africa 🇿🇦, and we’re exploring the country thoroughly and sharing all the wonderful kid-friendly places worth visiting here. 🌎 Our priority is to teach our kid life skills and lessons she cannot learn in the classroom. I share how we worldschool and turn every travel moment into learning opportunities. 🌎 With my work as a travel writer, we sometimes get to experience pretty special places and hotels, and I get paid to write about it. I will be sharing more of how I make a living. Any of this sound like something you can relate to? Follow along @wildjunket for travel ideas, itineraries, and the realities of travel as a digital nomad family. 🌏 #travelfamily #livingabroad #worldschooling #familytravel #learningeverywhere #travelwithkids #digitalnomadfamily #familytravel #digitalnomads

Madagascar is not an easy place to travel, especially with kids. But if you come with an open mind and a sense of adventure, the whole family will be rewarded with some of the world’s most unique wildlife and travel experiences. Here are some important things to know: 🚸 Only a small percentage of Madagascar’s roads are paved — be prepared for long, bumpy drives. The longest drive day we had was 8 hours of non-stop “African massage”. Pack lots of snacks, toilet paper and entertainment! ⚠️ Best time to visit Madagascar is July to October, but it’s still blazingly hot 🥵. Book hotels with pools; your kids will appreciate it! Some roads (like the one to Tsingy de Bemahara) are closed during rainy season (Dec-Mar) as they get muddy or flooded. 💊 Madagascar is a malaria-affected zone. We are not taking any anti-malarial medicine but we brought them with us just in case. We’re covering ourselves in lotsa insect repellent and long sleeves! ⚡️ Many parts of Madagascar are remote and electricity is scarce - even if you stay in nicer lodges, they might only have power in certain times of the day. We had a few sweaty nights in western Madagascar. 🛜 Expect to be offline most of your time in Madagascar. There’s no cell signal in the remote areas thou internet at high-end lodges is not bad. ✈️ Madagascar Airline is notorious for being unreliable i.e. domestic flights often get canceled. Be prepared with a contingency plan if your flights get canceled. 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.
