✈️ Travel writer & @lonelyplanet author 🌎 Sharing all about digital nomad family travel 🗺️Visited 150 countries 📍 Singaporean in Mexico 🇲🇽
  • July 2009. After landing my first writing gig, I worked even harder and dedicated all my free time to my blog. I continued learning, coming up with story ideas and pitching editors. 

📧 Advertising requests started flowing into my inbox and soon enough I was making close to $1000 each month from sponsored posts, advertorials and writing assignments. 

✈️ It was time to set off for our South and Central America backpacking trip! I’d saved up $10,000 from working at my banking job (which I absolutely hated) for a year and I couldn’t wait to hit the road once again!

✍️ While planning the trip, I’d stumbled upon a guidebook writing boot camp in Guatemala 🇬🇹 (one of the countries we were visiting) and signed up for it! It taught me everything I know about writing and it helped pave the way to my travel writing career.

📙When the bootcamp ended, I was one of the few students picked to stay on in Guatemala and write their newest guidebook. I spent a month doing on-the-ground research work, visiting every attraction, hotel and restaurant and writing them up. 

✨ It came with its challenges but I knew instantly this was the type of work I wanted to do. I was determined to carve a career in travel writing and blogging.

[Part 1  is on my main grid, published 3 days ago.]

*Stay tuned for the second part of this story!

  • 🏝️ On the gorgeous island of Nosy Be, we spent our days zigzagging on a tuktuk, tasting jackfruit at local markets, chasing waterfalls, and spotting lemurs 🐒. 

🐚 It’s a fantastic spot for families looking for island fun, wildlife and unique African culture (though it’s a shame to only visit Nosy Be and not other parts of Madagascar)!

Here are our favorite things to do on Nosy Be 🇲🇬👇 

🛺 Hire a tuktuk for the day (for just €30)

🥭 Explore the colorful Hell-Ville Market

🐒 Meet rescued lemurs + learn conservation at Lemuria Land

🪾 Visit the ancient Sacred Tree, a powerful place of Malagasy tradition

💦 Cool off in the Cascade de Nosy Be 

🌅 Catch a golden sunset on the beach (the best free show on the island)

🏝️ Take a day trip to the paradise island of Nosy Iranja 

🐢 Swim alongside turtles at Nosy Sakatia

🔖 SAVE this post for your next trip to Madagascar!

  • Ethical Wildlife Experiences That Will Change Your Kid’s Life ✨

🐋 Getting upclose to a whale in Mexico

When a gray whale swims up to your boat and your child reaches out to touch its barnacle-covered skin, she’s having an incredible connection with one of the largest creatures on Earth.

🐢 Releasing baby turtles in Mexico

Imagine your kid holding a baby turtle with a coconut nutshell, releasing it on the beach and watching it make its way into the sea at sunset. It teaches the importance of ethical animal encounters.

🦦 Swimming with manatees in Florida 

Gliding alongside these slow, gentle sea cows shows kids that not all adventures need adrenaline — sometimes wonder comes in the calm.

 🦁 See the Big Five in Masai Mara, Kenya

Hearing a lion’s roar at sunrise or spotting a giraffe in the distance makes the pages of their storybooks come alive in the most unforgettable way.

🐒 Spot wild meerkats in South Africa

Just outside of Oudtshoorn, we huddled together in the bush veld of De Zeekoe reserve and waited patiently for the meerkats to rise from their slumber. With the sky painted in soft sunrise hues, we sat quietly as they began to emerge — one by one — from their burrows, blinking at the new day. 

👣 See lemurs in Madagascar 

Madagascar is the only place in the world where you can find wild lemurs, with over 117 species inhabiting the country. It’s easy to find sifakas and brown lemurs roaming wild especially in Kirindy Forest near the Avenue du Baobab.

Would you try any of these with your family?

  • Our kid has always been a voracious reader.
When she was a baby, we would read her bedtime stories every single night without fail. We centered playtime around books. She had toys - but she had more books. 📚 

She reads whatever books she likes — we don’t restrict what she reads. I don’t often buy her stuff, but I would buy her ANY book she wants. Whenever we moved, we would sell most books but lug her favorite ones with us (everything written by David Walliams!).

📖 Comment “BOOKS” if you’d like a list of Kaleya’s favorite books!

  • Posting pretty pictures is fun and all — but that’s not why I’m here on IG. 

It’s connecting with other like-minded families who are just as crazy as we are! 🤪

For years, I felt like we were the only oddballs for choosing a life of adventure and wanting to show our kid the world. 🌎

But it turns out there are lots of us out there who prioritize adventure and embracing the unknown over a stable life. And thanks to IG, I’ve connected with many of you. 👋

People who choose to take your kids on a campervan roadtrip around Europe rather than Disneyland. Families who think going on an African safari and hiking up glaciers in Patagonia sound more fun than all-inclusive holidays. ⛰️🥾🦓

Yes IG isn’t real life — but it’s also where I’m finding community. It’s about sharing our passion, providing support, crowdsourcing knowledge and getting inspiration from each other’s epic journeys. ✈️

So, if you’re a digital nomad family or you’re always planning road trips and worldschooling adventures for your family — let’s connect, share stories from your adventures and swap high fives!

Ethical Wildlife Experiences That Will Change Your Kid’s Life ✨ 🐋 Getting upclose to a whale in Mexico 
When a gray whale swims up to your boat and your child reaches out to touch its barnacle-covered skin, she’s having an incredible connection with one of the largest creatures on Earth. 🐢 Releasing baby turtles in Mexico 
Imagine your kid holding a baby turtle with a coconut nutshell, releasing it on the beach and watching it make its way into the sea at sunset. It teaches the importance of ethical animal encounters. 🦦 Swimming with manatees in Florida 
Gliding alongside these slow, gentle sea cows shows kids that not all adventures need adrenaline — sometimes wonder comes in the calm. 🦁 See the Big Five in Masai Mara, Kenya 
Hearing a lion’s roar at sunrise or spotting a giraffe in the distance makes the pages of their storybooks come alive in the most unforgettable way. 🐒 Spot wild meerkats in South Africa
 Just outside of Oudtshoorn, we huddled together in the bush veld of De Zeekoe reserve and waited patiently for the meerkats to rise from their slumber. With the sky painted in soft sunrise hues, we sat quietly as they began to emerge — one by one — from their burrows, blinking at the new day. 👣 See lemurs in Madagascar 
 Madagascar is the only place in the world where you can find wild lemurs, with over 117 species inhabiting the country. It’s easy to find sifakas and brown lemurs roaming wild especially in Kirindy Forest near the Avenue du Baobab. Would you try any of these with your family? 👋 Hi!

Our kid has always been a voracious reader. When she was a baby, we would read her bedtime stories every single night without fail. We centered playtime around books. She had toys - but she had more books. 📚 She reads whatever books she likes — we don’t restrict what she reads. I don’t often buy her stuff, but I would buy her ANY book she wants. Whenever we moved, we would sell most books but lug her favorite ones with us (everything written by David Walliams!). 📖 Comment “BOOKS” if you’d like a list of Kaleya’s favorite books! kids who read | worldschooling | books for kids | traveling families | digital nomad families | family adventures

Posting pretty pictures is fun and all — but that’s not why I’m here on IG. It’s connecting with other like-minded families who are just as crazy as we are! 🤪 For years, I felt like we were the only oddballs for choosing a life of adventure and wanting to show our kid the world. 🌎 But it turns out there are lots of us out there who prioritize adventure and embracing the unknown over a stable life. And thanks to IG, I’ve connected with many of you. 👋 People who choose to take your kids on a campervan roadtrip around Europe rather than Disneyland. Families who think going on an African safari and hiking up glaciers in Patagonia sound more fun than all-inclusive holidays. ⛰️🥾🦓 Yes IG isn’t real life — but it’s also where I’m finding community. It’s about sharing our passion, providing support, crowdsourcing knowledge and getting inspiration from each other’s epic journeys. ✈️ So, if you’re a digital nomad family or you’re always planning road trips and worldschooling adventures for your family — let’s connect, share stories from your adventures and swap high fives! 👋 Say hello below and share your story with me! #travelfamily #livingabroad #worldschooling #familytravel #learningeverywhere #travelwithkids #digitalnomadfamily #familyadventures
