  • 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!

  • 14 years ago, Alberto and I came to  Madagascar on our honeymoon and it became our favorite country in the world! We’re SO excited to be back, now with our 10-year-old daughter in tow. 😊

On our first day in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, we were already blown away by what we saw at the Lemur Park. 

Just outside of the city, this 5-hectare park is home to 49 rescued lemurs from all over the country. It has 7 different species of lemurs and we spotted 6! The highlight was seeing this family of Coquerel’s Sifaka cuddled together on a tree! 

Fun facts about lemurs:

🐾 Madagascar is the only place in the world where wild lemurs are found.

🐾 There are 117 species of lemurs in Madagascar! 17 have gone extinct due to hunting (yes some people eat them 😔) and loss of habitat.

🐾 They are the world’s oldest primates- they existed before apes!

🐾 Most lemurs are herbivorous but certain species (like the ring-tailed lemur) eat little chameleons.

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

In South Africa 🇿🇦…
she learned about different kinds of wildlife, about the fynbos, about the apartheid and Nelson Mandela and how he fought for his country’s freedom.

In Madagascar 🇲🇬…
she’s learning about the different kinds of lemurs, the evolution of wildlife over millions of years, the formation of stone forests and the idea of democracy.

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 China 🇨🇳 …
she practiced speaking Mandarin, learned Chinese calligraphy, learned about yaks, made pottery with the spinning wheel and tried all kinds of Chinese food 🍲!

In Peru 🇵🇪…
she learned about the Inca civilization, the history of Machu Picchu, how oasis is formed and the importance of quinoa, alpacas and llamas 🦙.

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.

14 years ago, Alberto and I came to Madagascar on our honeymoon and it became our favorite country in the world! We’re SO excited to be back, now with our 10-year-old daughter in tow. 😊 On our first day in Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, we were already blown away by what we saw at the Lemur Park. Just outside of the city, this 5-hectare park is home to 49 rescued lemurs from all over the country. It has 7 different species of lemurs and we spotted 6! The highlight was seeing this family of Coquerel’s Sifaka cuddled together on a tree! Fun facts about lemurs: 🐾 Madagascar is the only place in the world where wild lemurs are found. 🐾 There are 117 species of lemurs in Madagascar! 17 have gone extinct due to hunting (yes some people eat them 😔) and loss of habitat. 🐾 They are the world’s oldest primates- they existed before apes! 🐾 Most lemurs are herbivorous but certain species (like the ring-tailed lemur) eat little chameleons. 👋🏻 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 #madagascartravel #madagascarwithkids
