✈️ Travel writer & @lonelyplanet author 🌎 Sharing all about digital nomad family travel 🗺️Visited 150 countries 📍 Singaporean in Mexico 🇲🇽
  • Before having kids, we traveled the world, on 6-month long sojourns through South America, volunteering in East Africa and backpacking stints through Asia. I loved travel so much that I carved a career in travel writing and blogging — and since then I’ve traveled to 150 countries. But having kids hasn’t stopped us from traveling. We are worldschooling our daughter now, showing her the world and teaching her practical life skills through travel and experience. She’s 10 and has traveled to 60 countries. Follow along our journey as we explore the world with our little one and share tips on how to work remotely!🌎📚✈️ 👋 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! 🌏 #travelfamily #livingabroad #worldschooling #familytravel #learningeverywhere #travelwithkids #digitalnomadfamily #familytravel

  • Homeschooling really isn’t as hard as people think. 🤔 I was worried about juggling work with homeschooling — but thanks to her online school, Kaleya is managing everything independently! Kaleya is currently enrolled to a UK online school, @maevious_homeeducating, and she’s loving the freedom of learning at her own pace, in the comfort of our home. 📚 She gets to join live, interactive video classes everyday and gets real 1:1 attention. She’s also diving into subjects she’d never tried before — geography, biology, chemistry and history — and even discovered her love for coding through computing classes. 🧪🧬💻 As she’s more advanced than her peers, they’ve even allowed her to skip a grade and now she’s doing Grade 6/7 (instead of 5) Math, English and Science. Besides Maevious, Kaleya also does online Chinese classes with a Mandarin teacher. The rest of the time, she does plenty of fun activities like gymnastics, rock climbing, marine biology, robotics and woodworking. We visit museums, see friends and often try new things like surfing. 🏄🏻 *Comment HOMESCHOOL and I’ll send you the link to Maevious packages. If you’re interested in trying Maevious, feel free to use code: WILDJUNKET10 for 10% off your first month 🙌🏼 👋 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum.

  • If you’d told me 20 years ago that I would be getting paid to travel the world and write about it, I wouldn’t have believed you. ✍️✈️🧳 It still feels surreal sometimes. I didn’t grow up thinking I’ll have this dream job one day. In fact, I studied engineering as it was the safest bet find a job and earn a living. In 2008, I started my adventure travel blog (wildjunket.com) with zero clue what I was doing. I spent every minute of my free time learning everything from SEO to pitching publications. It took almost a year before the first few cents from ads and affiliate links came in — but I felt like I’d won the lottery. From there, I started working towards my real goal: freelance writing for travel publications and guidebook companies. I pitched all the pubs I knew, from small Singaporean magazines to international travel sites. There were many rejections at first, but slowly “no” turned into “yes”. 🙌🏽 Over time, my blog grew and my writing portfolio expanded. After 2 years of hard work, this became my full-time job. My blog was generating passive income through display ads, sponsored content and affiliates, while I was getting paid by publishers for my contributions. Now, I write guidebooks for @lonelyplanet, print titles for @dkbooks and online articles for @telegraph and @bbc_travel. In addition to blogging and writing, I also lead tours, I book travel for clients, and do consultancy work for travel brands. But if writing isn’t your thing, that’s okay — there are so many ways to earn online now that didn’t even exist when I started. If you’re curious about digital nomad jobs, blogging, or making money online in general, drop your questions. I’m always happy to share what’s worked (and what hasn’t). 💻✨ 👋 Hi!

Finland in winter is truly magical — it makes you feel like you’ve stepped into a fairytale. ☃️❄️✨ Last winter, we spent Christmas in Finland 🇫🇮 and it was honestly the most magical trip we’ve done. Kaleya still talks about it fondly, and says it’s her favorite trip of all time. Here’s our guide: ROVANIEMI — the capital of Christmas🎅🏼 
• Meet Santa at @santaclausvillageofficial (touristy but irresistibly fun for kids) • Take a gentle reindeer sleigh ride through quiet forests • Stay at the @arcticsnowhotel or visit for the day
• Warm up at the Arktikum Museum, one of Lapland’s best
• Eat Lappish comfort food at @restaurantnili LEVI — a perfect ski stop 🎿🏔️✨ • Try a short husky safari with @snowmobileparklevi
• Ride the Levi Summit gondola for panoramic snowy views
• Book an aurora tour with @safartica to hunt for the Northern Lights
• Try beginner-friendly snowshoeing or a family snowmobile tour
• Easy eats: Colorado Bar & Grill HELSINKI — cozy cafés + winter city charm ❄️❤️ • Wander the Helsinki Christmas Market and sip glögi (mulled wine) • Go ice skating at the huge outdoor rink, Oulunkylä
• Visit Oodi Library — one of Europe’s best for families
• Warm up at the Allas Sea Pool (yes, there’s a heated pool!)
• Grab hot chocolate + pastries at Café Regatta, a tiny red cabin by the sea 👋 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.
