On the journey to becoming a digital nomad family, you need one thing above all: information!
I still remember exactly how it felt when we were planning our full time travel family adventure. We wanted to know how others had made the leap, how they had overcome challenges, and dealt with various problems that come with the digital nomad lifestyle. That’s when I delved into Facebook groups, online forums, and finally, the best digital nomad family blogs. And today, I want to introduce them to you!
Why am I, as the owner of Nomadmum – Digital Nomad Family Blog, writing about my “competition”?
Because every family is unique and their perspectives are important. Even after five years of full-time travel with kids, there’s always something new to learn. I love reading how other digital nomad families do it and find inspiration in their blog posts and stories.
So here are my favorite fellow digital nomad family blogs filled with exclusive quotes and personal photos from some of the travel bloggers!
The Best Digital Nomad Family Blogs to Inspire You in 2024
1. TraveLynn Family
TraveLynn Family is run by Jenny and Jay Lynn, along with their adventurous boys, Arthur (10) and Ezra (9). Originally from the UK, they now live in Malaysia and have been exploring off-the-beaten-track destinations since their boys were born.
What makes TraveLynn Family special is their philosophy that there’s no perfect age to start traveling with your kids. Jenny believes that waiting for the ‘right time’ might mean missing out on incredible experiences. Their blog is all about making the most of every moment and finding ways to travel no matter what life throws at you.
Their adventures are truly inspiring. They’ve lived in India for a year, trekked the Himalayas, spent 101 days traversing Africa in a Land Rover, enjoyed a summer of van life in France, slow traveled through Morocco for four months, and backpacked Southeast Asia for ten weeks. They also love European city breaks and occasionally treat themselves to a bit of luxury.
TraveLynn Family is one of the top family travel blogs in the UK with an engaged Instagram community (I’ve been following them for years). Jenny and Jay share practical tips for budget family travel, personal reviews, and detailed itineraries (check their destination section) that can help any family plan their own adventures.
2. Meet the Arshads
Meet the Arshads is all about the incredible journey of the Arshad family, a family of seven from Buckinghamshire, England. Feeling trapped in the routine of everyday life, they decided to change everything. In December 2019, they planned a trip of a lifetime to reconnect as a family, and despite the challenges, they embarked on a 35-day road trip around Spain, Portugal, and France in July 2020.
The blog is run by Dionne and Nadeem, along with their five children. Dionne is the laid-back, yoga-loving mom who thrives on spending time outdoors with her kids. Nadeem, the hardworking dad, balances his 9-5 remote job with running a busy household and loves sports and music.
What I like about Meet the Arshads most is that the storytelling is honest and down to earth, which makes them one of the best digital nomad family blogs for me.
They share their experiences of worldschooling their children (check to their Home Schooling Journal) and traveling on a budget.
This is what Nadeem Arshad told me about their blog:
“Our blog is there to provide inspiration, guidance and assurance to families all over the world who are either contemplating, just started or in the middle of long term travel and worldschooling. We share our experiences as a large family but we keep it real. The good and the bad aspects of long term family travel with 5 kids.”
3. Anna Everywhere
Anna Everywhere is one of the most successful and extensive digital nomad family blogs out there. It is run by Anna, a Polish traveler and mom of two. Anna’s journey is unique because she didn’t sell everything to travel; instead, she found a way to balance travel with her career, studies, and personal life. She believes you can be adventurous without giving up everything else.
The depth and variety of Anna Everywhere is amazing. Because she covers everything from luxury hotel stays to adventurous activities like horseback riding next to active volcanoes. Her blog is filled with personal stories and practical tips that show how you can travel with purpose and learn from every experience.
Anna has traveled to over 97 countries and all 7 continents, overcoming chronic diseases and other challenges along the way. She’s lived in many places, including Los Angeles, London, Paris, Cape Town, and Mexico City.
Some of the most successful articles on Anna Everywhere include her detailed guides on how to travel with young kids and her top tips for family-friendly destinations. She also shares insights on overcoming language barriers and adjusting to a new location.
4. The Nomad Family
The Nomad Family is created by the couple HiuYing and Maxime. They’re a multi-cultural family raising their two kids while traveling the globe on just $20 a day. Their blog is packed with wild stories and practical budget travel tips that can help you travel cheaper and longer.
I especially love the combination of exciting real-life adventures and helpful advice. HiuYing and Maxime share their experiences from hiking in the Alps to hitchhiking (something that I personally couldn’t imagine myself with kids and that’s quite special among digital nomad families) and overlanding in South America with a baby.
I love how personal and relatable The Nomad Family blog feels. HiuYing and Maxime’s passion for travel and their genuine approach to sharing both the joys and challenges of nomadic life create a real connection with their readers.
5. Big Adventures With Little Feet
Big Adventures with Little Feet (can we please talk about how cute the name is?!) is authored by Sara and Carl, along with their kids, Cameron (3 years old) and baby Dylan. Sara is the main writer and photographer behind the blog, capturing their journeys and sharing valuable tips and stories.
This UK family of four has traveled to 14 countries, starting with their first family trip to Mexico in 2021. Since then, they’ve road-tripped around Eastern Europe, returned to Mexico, skied in France, and spent two months exploring Portugal and Morocco. Their winters are spent in Antigua, where Carl works as a yacht captain, and when they’re not traveling, they live in the sailing community of Hamble on the south coast of the UK.
What I like most about this digital nomad family blog is their passion for independent travel and the great outdoors. Carl and Sara had already visited over 80 countries (!) between them before having kids, and they’ve continued their adventurous lifestyle with their little ones. They love hiking, music festivals, all sorts of watersports, and camping – and they provide helpful advice on these topics.
This is what Sara told me about the blog:
“We want to encourage and inspire other families to have adventures and give traveling a go. I think that there’s a massive expectation that it has to be super expensive but we travel on a budget by camping, even with our baby. It starts with a weekend camping trip and can end up taking you to amazing places such as camping in the Arctic Circle!”
6. 5 Lost Together
The creators of 5 Lost Together are a Canadian family of five who have been traveling with their kids since they were babies. Dawn and her husband Paul believe that having kids doesn’t mean you have to stop traveling – in fact, they think it’s even better to travel with your kids now rather than waiting for retirement.
All family members together have visited 57 countries, and their blog is full of travel guides, tips, and beautiful photos that will inspire you to hit the road with your own family.
What I love about the digital nomad family blog 5 Lost Together is their opinion that there’s no one right way to travel with kids. They offer practical advice on how to travel more as a family, highlighting different approaches families can use to make their travel dreams a reality. From being expats and becoming digital nomads to travel hacking and using points, their case studies are hugely inspirational and provide valuable tools for families.
7. The Global Wizards
The Global Wizards is run by the family of Jurgen, Heleen, and their two daughters, Yuna and Hanne. They made a bold decision to leave the rat race, sell their house, and travel the world while homeschooling their kids and working online.
The Global Wizards live the life they always dreamed of. They share their journey of becoming financially independent, traveling more, and spending more time together as a family. Their story is not just about travel but about embracing a lifestyle that values freedom, nature, and sustainability. That’s why you’ll find articles about how to start a blog and hundreds of Instagram tips on their digital nomad family blog.
Heleen is the dreamer, photographer, and marketer, while Jurgen is the cook, web developer, and the rock that keeps the family grounded.
Since August 2018, they’ve been exploring the world, from the wilderness of nature to the diversity of local cultures. They’ve taken their VW bus across Belgium and Europe, enjoying the freedom and beauty of the open road.
8. World Travel Family
World Travel Family is created by Alyson and her husband, Chef, along with their two sons, D and Boo. They decided to make travel a lifestyle and a business, turning their passion into a way of life. For almost seven years, they’ve been traveling the world non-stop, showing that it’s possible to explore the globe with kids in tow.
What makes World Travel Family unique is that they are using travel as a tool for education and personal growth. They believe that traveling with kids expands their horizons and enriches their education in ways that traditional schooling can’t match. Their adventures have taken them to places like Japan, Jordan, Bali, the UK, and Thailand, with a home base now in Australia.
Alyson’s digital nomad family blog is packed with practical tips and personal stories about their experiences. From trekking in the Himalayas to snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, they cover a wide range of destinations and travel styles. They offer advice on family accommodations, budgeting, travel gear, and especially on homeschooling.
Here’s what Alyson told me about her mission:
“When I started World Travel Family I wanted to demonstrate how great the world is. How fascinating, diverse, kind, and accessible far-off lands were. I’d heard too many negative comments about places based on misinformation and I wanted to debunk those opinions.
Over the years, I also wanted to challenge the way “normal” looks. Why do we need to be normal? Showing people our alternative lifestyle, successful family unit and portable business could inspire them to live life their way. I think I succeeded! Over the almost 7 years we were on the road, we built a huge and loyal following and helped many families live their dreams.
On that site, you can read about how we made that travel dream a reality, what it was like living life on the road, worldschooling, and earning online. There’s also a huge section on how I made that website so successful and lucrative along with detailed country and destination guides.
Since lockdown things have looked different, we bought a beautiful farm and our travels had to be measured in months, not years.
Right now I’m about to set off again. In part with my now adult children, in part solo. All of this will be going on our website. I still write extensively about worldschooling and have several books published on that topic. I find it very natural to pull the learning out of travel, but I know some struggle with this. I’m there to help.
I think what I love most about World Travel Family is the fact that we did it, we proved it worked and made it a success on every level.”
9. Let’s Travel Family
Let’s Travel Family is run by Jill and Tony Greising-Murschel, along with their four children. Jill is the main writer and photographer behind the digital nomad family blog, while Tony also contributes his writing skills. They started their journey in May 2017 when they bought an RV and decided to travel full-time across the USA.
What sets Let’s Travel Family apart is their genuine dedication to living life to its fullest and encouraging others to follow their dreams. They believe that life is too short to wait for “someday” and that there’s so much to see and learn together as a family. Their journey began as a way to escape the cold Minnesota winters and improve Tony’s health, but it quickly became a way of life that brought them closer together and enriched their children’s education through worldschooling.
During their three years of full-time travel, they explored the USA in their 33-foot RV. They also found ways to earn money online to sustain their travels, and they generously share these tips on their blog to help other families do the same.
In 2019, they put their RV into storage and embarked on an overseas adventure, visiting places like Bali, Indonesia; Penang and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Thailand, and Japan. Their goal was to explore different cultures and share their experiences with their readers, inspiring others to take the leap into world travel.
10. Nomadmum
Last but not least, I’d love to share what I want to aim with my own digital nomad family blog Nomadmum.
In this blog I’m writing about our journey of breaking free from the traditional 9-to-5 lifestyle to travel the world with our kids. I’m Lulu Lundt, and together with my husband, Dizzy, and our two beautiful daughters, Lila and Ruby (Ruby was born in Thailand), we’ve turned our lives upside down to live our dreams.
A few years ago, my 9-to-5 full-time job barely allowed me to spend quality time with my loved ones. What I longed for was the freedom to shape my life in a way that suited me and my family, to be more flexible, listen to my own body, and travel the world as much as I desired. Does that sound familiar?
In a very chaotic and challenging year, we decided to make a change. We set up our own businesses, sold almost everything we owned, gave up our hip city apartment, and booked a one-way ticket to Thailand. It was a bold move, but it transformed our lives in ways we never imagined.
Becoming a digital nomad family shouldn’t be as difficult as it was for us. That’s why I started Nomadmum. My mission is to help adventure-seeking souls like you become digital nomads in less time and travel full-time with your kids.
Final Thoughts on the Best Digital Nomad Family Blogs
I must say, I am very impressed by the diversity of digital nomad family blogs. While some are experts in worldschooling and formal education alternatives, others can teach you all about RV travel and slow travel. Still, others know everything about adventure and budget travel, covering different countries and new locations extensively.
It’s fantastic that families interested in this nomadic lifestyle have so many great resources and options to choose from.
Whether you’re a digital nomad parent looking for the best ways to manage work schedules or seeking advice on local schools and experiential learning, these blogs have you covered. They show what the digital nomad family lifestyle really feels and looks like – far away from Photoshop and perfect Instagram stories.
