  • 2025 has been a fantastic year, with more highs than lows. While we didn’t travel as much as we usually do, we moved to South Africa, which itself was an exciting change for us! Here are some highlights for us this year:

💻 This year I got offered more travel writing opportunities than usual! I wrote several travel guide series for @telegraph and @mexiconewsdaily.

📖 I co-authored another two Mexico guidebooks for @lonelyplanet, which have now been published!

🇿🇦 Fell in love with our new home: Cape Town, South Africa! It’s the perfect base for us, with so much nature and wildlife right at our doorstep.

🇲🇬 Brought Kaleya to where we honeymooned: Madagascar! 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! It works for Kaleya and allows our family to enjoy more time together. 

How was your year??? Share with us ⬇️

  • 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???
  • Christmas in Alsace, France 🇫🇷 

If fairytales had a Christmas setting, it would be here.

🎄 Strasbourg
Often called the Capital of Christmas. Twinkling lights, carousel rides, half-timbered houses, and festive markets that really do live up to the hype. Wander Petite France early in the morning, when the streets are quiet and the lights are still glowing. ☃️

🍭Colmar
One of the prettiest Christmas towns we’ve ever visited. Canals lined with lights, colourful houses, and small markets perfect for wandering with kids. Our tip: visit on a weekday morning and avoid peak evenings.

🏰 Riquewihr & Ribeauvillé
Smaller Alsatian villages that feel just as magical but far less overwhelming. Cobblestone streets, medieval towers, and cozy markets where kids can actually move around without the crowds.

How we avoided the crowds:
– Stay in a smaller village outside the main towns
– Visit popular spots early morning or around lunchtime
– Rent a car to move between towns easily
– Go midweek whenever possible

✨ Save this for your winter family bucket list.

  • One of my favorite things about traveling with kids is choosing places that become part of the experience— not just somewhere to sleep.

Swipe through for some of our most unforgettable stays 👇

❄️ @ArcticSnowHotel – Rovaniemi, Finland
Sleeping in an ice room, wrapped in thermal sleeping bags, chasing northern lights, and meeting Santa nearby — a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

🐚 Casa Caracol – Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Set against the Caribbean Sea, this quirky shellhouse is designed for modern-day mermaids looking for something different. I booked this place for my 40th birthday and had a blast enjoying island time with my family.

🌲 @Treehotel – Harads, Sweden
Suspended in the forest are a series of treehouses reached by ladders and bridges. We stayed in the UFO shuttle but there’s also the glass house and nest. Nature, imagination, and adventure rolled into one.

🌿 @Tapasoli – Xilitla, Mexico
Sleeping in hobbit-style burrows tucked into the jungle overlooking the valley transported us to Hobbiton. 🌳✨ This is one of those places where imagination runs wild.

🎭 Muralla Roja – Calpe, Spain
Playful, bold, and totally unexpected. Staying at this Squid Game apartment made our time in Calpe extra memorable — my kid LOVES when accommodations feel like an experience.

🏔️ Yurt camp — Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan
Sleeping on the floor, learning about nomadic life, and waking up to mountain views. One of the most grounding experiences you can have as a family.

⛺ @CampingPehoe — Torres del Paine, Chile
Wild landscapes, cozy beds, and fires under the stars. Proof that adventure and comfort can coexist — even in remote Patagonia.

♨️ @Hakonetenyu Ryokan Hotel – Hakone, Japan
Tatami mats, futons, onsen baths, and the calmest atmosphere imaginable. A beautiful introduction to Japanese culture and mindful living — even with kids.

Which one would your kids choose? 💭✨

  • Of all the German Christmas markets we’ve been, the Cologne one is our absolute favorite! Set against the backdrop of the iconic cathedral, it’s got something special that makes the festive season feel particularly magical.✨

Twinkling lights reflect off wooden chalets, church bells echo through the square, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon, roasted chestnuts, and warm Glühwein. It’s lively, cozy, and unmistakably Christmassy.

📅 When: Nov 25 – Dec 23, 2025
⏰ Hours: Daily from late morning until around 21:00 | Later on weekends

🎄 What makes it so special:

• The magical Cologne Cathedral market, with fairy lights stretching across the square and carols playing in the background ⛪✨

• Endless festive treats: Reibekuchen, sausages, chocolate-dipped fruits, and mugs of Glühwein to warm your hands 🍷

• Live music, choirs, and performances that fill the air with holiday cheer 🎶

• All kinds of gifts and German woodwork on sale. 🎁

✨ Don’t miss this: Wander between markets, collect a souvenir mug, and linger longer than planned. Cologne does Christmas big — and it’s impossible not to get swept up in the magic.

Save this reel for your festive Europe plans 🎄🤍

  • A winter road trip through Switzerland 🇨🇭 

A few winters ago, we drove our campervan to Switzerland from the Netherlands and it felt like we’d arrived in Narnia! ❄️ Here is a mini guide for families seemingly winter fun:

🏔️ Grindelwald

We celebrated Christmas tucked away in a cozy wooden cabin 🪵✨, surrounded by snow-covered mountains 🏔️ and twinkling lights. Slow mornings with hot chocolate ☕️🍫, watching the snow fall outside the window, and that quiet alpine magic you only get in winter. ☃️

💧❄️ Lauterbrunnen

Frozen waterfalls 🧊💦, snow-dusted villages 🏘️❄️, and little train rides through a valley that feels straight out of a fairytale 📖✨ Every turn was a postcard 📸🤍

🚆🏔️ Wengen

A car-free mountain village you reach by train 🚞 — which already makes it feel special ✨ Snowy streets, wooden chalets 🪵, sledding hills right outside your door 🛷, and views over the Lauterbrunnen valley that don’t feel real 🤍🏔️ 

❄️⛰️ Glacier 3000

A true winter wonderland ☃️✨ Sledding 🛷, playing in real snow, and walking across the peak-to-peak suspension bridge 🌉 with endless white peaks all around.

✨ Save this for your winter family bucket list

Christmas in Alsace, France 🇫🇷 If fairytales had a Christmas setting, it would be here. 🎄 Strasbourg Often called the Capital of Christmas. Twinkling lights, carousel rides, half-timbered houses, and festive markets that really do live up to the hype. Wander Petite France early in the morning, when the streets are quiet and the lights are still glowing. ☃️ 🍭Colmar One of the prettiest Christmas towns we’ve ever visited. Canals lined with lights, colourful houses, and small markets perfect for wandering with kids. Our tip: visit on a weekday morning and avoid peak evenings. 🏰 Riquewihr & Ribeauvillé Smaller Alsatian villages that feel just as magical but far less overwhelming. Cobblestone streets, medieval towers, and cozy markets where kids can actually move around without the crowds. How we avoided the crowds: – Stay in a smaller village outside the main towns – Visit popular spots early morning or around lunchtime – Rent a car to move between towns easily – Go midweek whenever possible ✨ Save this for your winter family bucket list. 👋 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.

One of my favorite things about traveling with kids is choosing places that become part of the experience— not just somewhere to sleep.

Swipe through for some of our most unforgettable stays 👇

❄️ @ArcticSnowHotel – Rovaniemi, Finland
Sleeping in an ice room, wrapped in thermal sleeping bags, chasing northern lights, and meeting Santa nearby — a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

🐚 Casa Caracol – Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Set against the Caribbean Sea, this quirky shellhouse is designed for modern-day mermaids looking for something different. I booked this place for my 40th birthday and had a blast enjoying island time with my family.

🌲 @Treehotel – Harads, Sweden
Suspended in the forest are a series of treehouses reached by ladders and bridges. We stayed in the UFO shuttle but there’s also the glass house and nest. Nature, imagination, and adventure rolled into one.

🌿 @Tapasoli – Xilitla, Mexico
Sleeping in hobbit-style burrows tucked into the jungle overlooking the valley transported us to Hobbiton. 🌳✨ This is one of those places where imagination runs wild.

🎭 Muralla Roja – Calpe, Spain
Playful, bold, and totally unexpected. Staying at this Squid Game apartment made our time in Calpe extra memorable — my kid LOVES when accommodations feel like an experience.

🏔️ Yurt camp — Issyk Kul, Kyrgyzstan
Sleeping on the floor, learning about nomadic life, and waking up to mountain views. One of the most grounding experiences you can have as a family.

⛺ @CampingPehoe — Torres del Paine, Chile
Wild landscapes, cozy beds, and fires under the stars. Proof that adventure and comfort can coexist — even in remote Patagonia.

♨️ @Hakonetenyu Ryokan Hotel – Hakone, Japan
Tatami mats, futons, onsen baths, and the calmest atmosphere imaginable. A beautiful introduction to Japanese culture and mindful living — even with kids.

Which one would your kids choose? 💭✨

Of all the German Christmas markets we’ve been, the Cologne one is our absolute favorite! Set against the backdrop of the iconic cathedral, it’s got something special that makes the festive season feel particularly magical.✨ 
Twinkling lights reflect off wooden chalets, church bells echo through the square, and the air is filled with the scent of cinnamon, roasted chestnuts, and warm Glühwein. It’s lively, cozy, and unmistakably Christmassy. 📅 When: Nov 25 – Dec 23, 2025
⏰ Hours: Daily from late morning until around 21:00 | Later on weekends 🎄 What makes it so special:

• The magical Cologne Cathedral market, with fairy lights stretching across the square and carols playing in the background ⛪✨ 
• Endless festive treats: Reibekuchen, sausages, chocolate-dipped fruits, and mugs of Glühwein to warm your hands 🍷 
• Live music, choirs, and performances that fill the air with holiday cheer 🎶 
• All kinds of gifts and German woodwork on sale. 🎁 ✨ Don’t miss this: Wander between markets, collect a souvenir mug, and linger longer than planned. Cologne does Christmas big — and it’s impossible not to get swept up in the magic. Save this reel for your festive Europe plans 🎄🤍 👋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#familyadventures #digitalnomads #christmasmarkets #germanchristmasmarket #germanyinwinter

A winter road trip through Switzerland 🇨🇭 A few winters ago, we drove our campervan to Switzerland from the Netherlands and it felt like we’d arrived in Narnia! ❄️ Here is a mini guide for families seemingly winter fun: 🏔️ Grindelwald We celebrated Christmas tucked away in a cozy wooden cabin 🪵✨, surrounded by snow-covered mountains 🏔️ and twinkling lights. Slow mornings with hot chocolate ☕️🍫, watching the snow fall outside the window, and that quiet alpine magic you only get in winter. ☃️ 💧❄️ Lauterbrunnen Frozen waterfalls 🧊💦, snow-dusted villages 🏘️❄️, and little train rides through a valley that feels straight out of a fairytale 📖✨ Every turn was a postcard 📸🤍 🚆🏔️ Wengen A car-free mountain village you reach by train 🚞 — which already makes it feel special ✨ Snowy streets, wooden chalets 🪵, sledding hills right outside your door 🛷, and views over the Lauterbrunnen valley that don’t feel real 🤍🏔️ ❄️⛰️ Glacier 3000 A true winter wonderland ☃️✨ Sledding 🛷, playing in real snow, and walking across the peak-to-peak suspension bridge 🌉 with endless white peaks all around. ✨ Save this for your winter family bucket list 👋Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum. I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here.
