  • So many parents think their kid just isn’t the “outdoorsy type.” But the truth? 👇🏽

It’s a learned skill.

Loving the outdoors isn’t something kids are born knowing, it’s something they learn by trying it out, watching us, and feeling safe to explore. 🪂🥾🏔️

💌 Share this with your parents friends who need this reminder.. Don’t give up when it’s hard, it does take time!

Kaleya REFUSED to hike until she was 5. She would throw lots of tantrums, and always wanted her dad to carry her. 

We didn’t give up and kept at it. We brought snacks and toys to play along the way and came up with treasure hunts that would get her keen to walk.

Now she’s 10 and she loves hiking, biking, rock climbing and ziplining!

👋🏻 Hi! I’m Nellie, a travel writer and I share all I’ve learned about digital nomad family travel here. So glad you’re here! 🌏

  • Windows down, jaw on the floor. 🏔️🚐

Patagonia is a front-row seat to nature’s masterpiece. One moment it’s snowcapped mountains, the next it’s turquoise lakes and golden grasslands. 

Honestly, the drive is the destination. 🚐💨

  • Over the weekend, we hiked up to Kloof Corner from downtown Cape Town and couldn’t believe the views! 🤯🏔️🌊

It was short and easy (we made it up in about 30 minutes with plenty of “look at that rock!” stops along the way), but the views at the top felt like such a reward. 

From up there you can see the whole stretch of the 12 Apostles, Lion’s Head, and the Atlantic Ocean sparkling below. Honestly, it’s the kind of view you’d expect after hours of climbing, not a kid-friendly stroll. 🏔️🌳🥾

📍Kloof Corner (park at Tafelberg road and start hiking from Kloof Nek Water Treatment Plant)

I love it because it’s doable for little legs, doesn’t take up half the day, and still gives you that “wow, we’re in Cape Town” moment. It's definitely one of those hikes that reminds me why we travel with our kid: simple adventures, big memories.

  • Kids won’t remember every landmark or every passport stamp. But they’ll remember how it felt to explore the world together. 🌏

The way we laughed when we got lost, the sunrise snuggles and sunset swims, the small moments between the big ones.

Traveling with kids isn’t about them remembering every detail. It’s about building a childhood that feels like adventure, love, and togetherness—wherever we are. 🥾🏔️🌊✈️

  • I’d rather choose camping and long hikes over all-inclusive resorts. I prefer dirt under my nails, questionable street food, views that stir my soul than all-day… than staying all day by the pool and never getting out of the resort. It’s chaos, discomfort, magic — and no, you can’t order it from a poolside menu. 😉
