  • Traveling is much more than seeing famous landmarks or beautiful landscapes. It’s about connecting with a different culture, seeing how different people live, and learning from them.

Walking through everyday life in Ethiopia 🇪🇹, we are reminded how some people may have less but their smiles, kindness and devotion show how rich and blessed they are. 

In Lalibela, we see firsthand how devout the Ethiopians are to their faith. Every Sunday, locals show up before dawn for mass and sit in silence to pray. At their Saturday market, people from all the villages nearby come to sell their crops and livestock. Life is not easy for them, but we see their resilience and strength.

👋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! 🌏

  • Welcome to Lalibela, the ancient capital of Ethiopia 🇪🇹! Tucked deep in a remote, mountainous region, it’s home to 11 extraordinary 11th-century rock-hewn churches, carved directly into the earth. 

Honestly these churches rival the great ancient wonders of the world — and yet few people have heard of them. What’s truly amazing is that these churches are still used by devout locals daily for mass and baptisms.

This was my favorite place in Ethiopia when I visited 9 years ago, and coming back now with my family feels incredibly full-circle. Watching it through my kid’s eyes has made it even more meaningful than I remembered.

Planning a visit to Lalibela:

• ✈️ Getting there: Fly from Addis Ababa to Lalibela Airport (short flight, stunning views)

• 🎟️ Entrance fee: ~$100 USD per person for the church complex (valid for multiple days)

• 👟 Go with a guide: Highly recommended to truly understand the symbolism + history. Our guide @Abeje_Mengesha was excellent; he made all the difference with his amazing stories!

💰 Cost of tour: We booked a 3-day tour with @hilltoplodgelalibela for US$180/person ($130/child).

• 🕰️ Best time: Early morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds and softer light

• 🧥 Bring layers: It’s cooler here due to the elevation and cover up with long pants as a sign of respect

Today we stand with those fighting ICE — because dignity, safety, and human rights are universal. 🤍 Standing in solidarity with the nationwide shutdown to oppose ICE. #ICEout #humanrights

  • Madagascar is the rawest, most rewarding adventure you can give a child, but it definitely comes with its challenges with political instability and poor infrastructure.

[‼️Comment MADA for a link to my free guide to Madagascar with kids.] 

🌎How we did it: 

We divided our trip into 2 parts: the first half was spent exploring Western Madagascar. This is home to the iconic Avenue du Baobabs and Tsingy de Bemahara. Many people skip this part due to be bad roads and head straight to Nosy Be, which is such a shame. This is our favorite part of Madagascar! 

✈️ Domestic flights in Madagascar:

Since roads are so bad, flying is the easiest way to get around the country. Madagascar Airlines is reputed for being unreliable but we didn’t have any flight cancelled.

Domestic flights are not cheap though: our Antananarivo-Morondava return flights were €223 per person and Antananarivo-Nosy Be return flights were €323pp. All flights go through the capital. 

🚙How we got around:

Only 4% of Madagascar has paved roads; so prepare for long bumpy drives. We booked a 4x4 rental with driver for €80/day from @remoterivers (much cheaper than booking a tour). Self-drive is not recommended as it’s extremely challenging to navigate the roads here.

🐒 Wildlife parks:

At nature reserves and national parks, local guides are included in the entry fee. It’s a great way to learn more fun facts about lemurs and other wildlife. The guides are usually very knowledgeable and informative.

🛣️ Route/Itinerary:

Honestly we didn’t see many families in this part of Madagascar. But I’m a firm believer that kids can do hard things! 💪 Expect to have long driving days (8hours) — bring books, power banks, and lots of snacks! Be sure to pack dramamine if your kids get car sick.

⚠️ Follow for Part 2!!!
