  • 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. 🙌

  • 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.

  • We’re finally back in Madagascar 🇲🇬 , 15 years after we honeymooned here! It feels so special showing Kaleya one of our favorite countries in the world. 🌎 

Any trip to Madagascar is an adventure. It’s not an easy place to travel — only a small % of the country has paved roads, tourism infrastructure almost doesn’t exist, and the current unrest is keeping travelers away. (We’re safe here by the way!)

But it’s a truly unique country, unlike anywhere else we’ve been. Madagascar is the only place where you can find wild lemurs and fossas, the world’s smallest and largest chameleons, and enormous centuries-old baobab trees. 🪾

Our kid is embracing this adventure in Madagascar! I’m amazed by how resilient she is — even the brutal heat, bumpy rides and lack of electricity are not bothering her. It’s a deeply rewarding place for people who like traveling off the beaten path!

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 Peru 🇵🇪…

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

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.

We’re finally back in Madagascar 🇲🇬 , 15 years after we honeymooned here! It feels so special showing Kaleya one of our favorite countries in the world. 🌎 Any trip to Madagascar is an adventure. It’s not an easy place to travel — only a small % of the country has paved roads, tourism infrastructure almost doesn’t exist, and the current unrest is keeping travelers away. (We’re safe here by the way!) But it’s a truly unique country, unlike anywhere else we’ve been. Madagascar is the only place where you can find wild lemurs and fossas, the world’s smallest and largest chameleons, and enormous centuries-old baobab trees. 🪾 Our kid is embracing this adventure in Madagascar! I’m amazed by how resilient she is — even the brutal heat, bumpy rides and lack of electricity are not bothering her. It’s a deeply rewarding place for people who like traveling off the beaten path! 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and adventurous mum.
