  • Having been a travel writer and blogger for over 15 years, I’ve been privileged enough to travel to over 150 countries across 7 continents. Here are the countries that I most wanna go back to: Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 I was invited to this Central Asian country for the first ever World Nomad Games and wow did it blow my mind! Namibia 🇳🇦 With its mammoth sand dunes and out-of-this-world deserts, Namibia was the highlight of a long overland trip I did in Southern Africa. Georgia 🇬🇪 I ate my way through Georgia (the country not the US state!) with one of my besties 10 years ago and its food really left a deep impression on me. Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 On my month-long Silk Road journey, Uzbekistan was my favorite stop for its spectacular Islamic architecture and incredibly welcoming people. Oman 🇴🇲 We brought Kaleya to Oman on a road trip when she was 2 years old and it remains one of our favorite places. Tanzania 🇹🇿 In 2008, we spent 3 months volunteering in a village in Tanzania and it was truly life changing. I can’t wait to bring Kaleya back to meet our friends and students there! Antarctica 🇦🇶 Undoubtedly, cruising to Antarctica was the best trip I’ve done. It’s truly the final frontier and I really want my daughter to experience it! Nepal🇳🇵 Nepal completely blew me away with the tallest mountains in the world and the spiritual temples and shrines dotted all over Kathmandu. Uganda 🇺🇬 Till this day, coming face to face with a Silverback and his troop of gorillas remains the most intense wildlife experience of my life. Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I spent only a week in Sri Lanka for a conference but the sneak peek I got was enough to make me wanna return soon! 👋 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! 🌏
  • One of my new year resolutions for 2026 is to travel more intentionally. This year, I want to add more purpose, meaningful experiences and educational elements to our travels as a digital nomad family. We haven’t planned any trip for this year yet except except for a few weeks in Ethiopia and then Singapore to visit family. In spring we’re hoping to do a long road trip to Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Are you planning to travel more in 2026? #newyearsresolution #worldiscalling #insta360

  • Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎊🥳 2025 was a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows: here’s a look. HIGHS: 🇿🇦 Fell in love with our new home: Cape Town, South Africa! 💻 This year I got offered more travel writing opportunities than usual! I wrote several travel guide series for @telegraph and @mexiconewsdaily. 📖 Published another two guidebooks for @lonelyplanet 🇲🇬 Brought Kaleya to where we honeymooned: Madagascar! Thrilled to find it hasn’t changed too much and it remains one of our favorite countries. 📚 We finally started homeschooling with Kaleya and realized it’s easier than expected! 🪂 Brought Kaleya paragliding in Valle de Bravo 🇲🇽 as a birthday gift. She loved it! 🥾 Kaleya did the longest hike she’s ever done: 8km from El Chalten to the base of Mount Fitzroy in Patagonia. 🇪🇸 Went back to Spain with our friends from Mexico and celebrated Reyes Magos with them! LOWS 💻 AI severely affected my blogs’ readership and my income, thankfully I have other work to fall back on. 😔 Said goodbye to our friends in Mexico who have become like family to us! 🛂 Failed to get our South African visas as we didn’t have the right documentation during our interview in Madrid. Moved to Cape Town anyway, even if it’s just for a few months! 🐶 Sadly we had to leave our dog Brownie with family in Spain, as pet import rules in South Africa are very strict. I am SO ready to start 2026 on a clean slate! 👋 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.

  • Merry Christmas! 🎄 Warmest wishes from our family to yours. 💗 Christmas has always been the most important day of the year for us. But especially so since Kaleya came into our lives. We try to keep our Xmas traditions alive and make it a special and magical time for all of us. 🎄❄️ This Christmas, we’re celebrating in Cape Town to experience the festive season in our new homebase. It actually feels strange to be in summer weather at Xmas but we’re embracing it! 🏝️😬🌊 We just had a gorgeous Christmas Eve dinner at the beautiful @kloofstreethouse, and now we’re fully stuffed. We’ll be spending the rest of the evening watching Xmas movies n getting excited to see what Santa brings us. 🍿🎥 Our stockings are hung, and we’ve got the cookies, milk and carrots ready for Santa Claus and his reindeers. Tomorrow we’ll be opening presents all morning and having a homecooked feast for Christmas Day lunch. 🎄How are you celebrating Christmas???

Having been a travel writer and blogger for over 15 years, I’ve been privileged enough to travel to over 150 countries across 7 continents. Here are the countries that I most wanna go back to: Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 I was invited to this Central Asian country for the first ever World Nomad Games and wow did it blow my mind! Namibia 🇳🇦 With its mammoth sand dunes and out-of-this-world deserts, Namibia was the highlight of a long overland trip I did in Southern Africa. Georgia 🇬🇪 I ate my way through Georgia (the country not the US state!) with one of my besties 10 years ago and its food really left a deep impression on me. Uzbekistan 🇺🇿 On my month-long Silk Road journey, Uzbekistan was my favorite stop for its spectacular Islamic architecture and incredibly welcoming people. Oman 🇴🇲 We brought Kaleya to Oman on a road trip when she was 2 years old and it remains one of our favorite places. Tanzania 🇹🇿 In 2008, we spent 3 months volunteering in a village in Tanzania and it was truly life changing. I can’t wait to bring Kaleya back to meet our friends and students there! Antarctica 🇦🇶 Undoubtedly, cruising to Antarctica was the best trip I’ve done. It’s truly the final frontier and I really want my daughter to experience it! Nepal🇳🇵 Nepal completely blew me away with the tallest mountains in the world and the spiritual temples and shrines dotted all over Kathmandu. Uganda 🇺🇬 Till this day, coming face to face with a Silverback and his troop of gorillas remains the most intense wildlife experience of my life. Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 I spent only a week in Sri Lanka for a conference but the sneak peek I got was enough to make me wanna return soon! 👋 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! 🌏

One of my new year resolutions for 2026 is to travel more intentionally. This year, I want to add more purpose, meaningful experiences and educational elements to our travels as a digital nomad family. We haven’t planned any trip for this year yet except except for a few weeks in Ethiopia and then Singapore to visit family. In spring we’re hoping to do a long road trip to Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Are you planning to travel more in 2026? #newyearsresolution #worldiscalling #insta360

Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎊🥳 2025 was a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows: here’s a look. HIGHS: 🇿🇦 Fell in love with our new home: Cape Town, South Africa! 💻 This year I got offered more travel writing opportunities than usual! I wrote several travel guide series for @telegraph and @mexiconewsdaily. 📖 Published another two guidebooks for @lonelyplanet 🇲🇬 Brought Kaleya to where we honeymooned: Madagascar! Thrilled to find it hasn’t changed too much and it remains one of our favorite countries. 📚 We finally started homeschooling with Kaleya and realized it’s easier than expected! 🪂 Brought Kaleya paragliding in Valle de Bravo 🇲🇽 as a birthday gift. She loved it! 🥾 Kaleya did the longest hike she’s ever done: 8km from El Chalten to the base of Mount Fitzroy in Patagonia. 🇪🇸 Went back to Spain with our friends from Mexico and celebrated Reyes Magos with them! LOWS 💻 AI severely affected my blogs’ readership and my income, thankfully I have other work to fall back on. 😔 Said goodbye to our friends in Mexico who have become like family to us! 🛂 Failed to get our South African visas as we didn’t have the right documentation during our interview in Madrid. Moved to Cape Town anyway, even if it’s just for a few months! 🐶 Sadly we had to leave our dog Brownie with family in Spain, as pet import rules in South Africa are very strict. I am SO ready to start 2026 on a clean slate! 👋 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! 🌏 #2025recap #happynewyears #hello2026

Thrilled to find it hasn’t changed too much and it remains one of our favorite countries. 🇪🇸 Visiting family in Spain twice this year and also catching up with our friends there! 📚 Finally trying out homeschooling for Kaleya and realizing it’s easier than expected!

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Warmest wishes from our family to yours. 💗 Christmas has always been the most important day of the year for us. But especially so since Kaleya came into our lives. We try to keep our Xmas traditions alive and make it a special and magical time for all of us. 🎄❄️ This Christmas, we’re celebrating in Cape Town to experience the festive season in our new homebase. It actually feels strange to be in summer weather at Xmas but we’re embracing it! 🏝️😬🌊 We just had a gorgeous Christmas Eve dinner at the beautiful @kloofstreethouse, and now we’re fully stuffed. We’ll be spending the rest of the evening watching Xmas movies n getting excited to see what Santa brings us. 🍿🎥 Our stockings are hung, and we’ve got the cookies, milk and carrots ready for Santa Claus and his reindeers. Tomorrow we’ll be opening presents all morning and having a homecooked feast for Christmas Day lunch. 🎄How are you celebrating Christmas???
