What are the Best Digital Nomad Family Blogs in 2026?
My favorite digital nomad family blogs are the ones that share the real story: money, meltdowns, visas, schools, and the joy in-between. In this guide I show you ten family travel blogs that have actually helped us on our own journey.
Why Digital Nomad Family Blogs Matter so Much
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 6 years of full-time travel with kids, there’s always something new to learn.
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 2026
1. TraveLynn Family
TraveLynn Family is run by Jenny and Jason and their two boys, Arthur (11) and Ezra (10). They’re from the UK and now call Penang, Malaysia home, which lets them explore Southeast Asia easily while keeping a stable school base.
What makes them stand out is their belief that there’s no “perfect age” to travel with kids. They started early and kept going. Their blog blends real family adventure with practical tips on budgeting, schooling on the road, transport, and destination planning.
2. Meet the Arshads
Meet the Arshads is run by Dionne and Nadeem and their five kids from Buckinghamshire, England. They reached a point where routine didn’t feel right anymore, so they changed everything and set off to travel and reconnect as a family.
Their blog is wonderfully honest and grounded. They write about worldschooling, traveling on a budget, remote work, and what life really looks like with five kids on the road.
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 run by Anna, a Polish traveler and mum of two. What makes her blog different is that she didn’t quit everything to travel. She learned how to blend travel with life, work, study, and family.
Her content is rich and varied. You’ll find practical tips for family trips, honest stories from all over the world, and guides that go beyond basic lists. Anna has journeyed to nearly every corner of the globe and lived in cities like Los Angeles, London, Paris, Cape Town, and Mexico City. Her posts cover real logistics, overcoming challenges, and how to make travel work with kids.
If you want deep destination insight and real-world family travel advice that goes past the highlight reel, Anna Everywhere is one to follow.
4. The Nomad Family
The Nomad Family is run by HiuYing and Maxime and their two kids. They travel the world on a tight budget and share how to stretch every dollar so families can see more for less.
What makes their blog great is how personal it feels. You get practical, budget-focused travel advice alongside genuine stories about the joys and challenges of nomadic family life.
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.
5. Big Adventures With Little Feet
Big Adventures with Little Feet (can we please talk about how cute the name is?!) is run by Sara and Carl and their kids Cameron and little Dylan. They are a UK family who turned adventure into everyday life.
They have taken their kids to places like Mexico, Eastern Europe, France, Portugal and Morocco. In winter they are often in Antigua where Carl works as a yacht captain and at home they live in a sailing community on the south coast of the UK.
What makes their blog special is their love for independent travel and the outdoors. Hiking, watersports, camping and festivals are parts of their life and they share honest tips that make these kinds of trips feel possible for other families.
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.
Together the family has visited over fifty countries and their blog is full of travel guides, smart tips and beautiful photos that inspire other families to hit the road too.
What makes 5 Lost Together special is their honest belief that there is no single right way to travel with kids. They share practical approaches families can use to make travel dreams real. From expat life to travel hacking and using points, their stories are inspirational and full of useful tools for families.
7. The Global Wizards
The Global Wizards is run by Jurgen, Heleen and their two daughters, Yuna and Hanne. They chose to leave the usual rat race, sell their house and travel the world while homeschooling their kids and working online.
Their blog is about more than travel. It is about building a life of freedom, nature, sustainability and family time. You will find personal stories about how they make money online, how they homeschool while moving and how they live simply but fully.
Heleen is the photographer and creative force and Jurgen keeps the family grounded with practical skills and calm logic. They have been exploring the world since 2018, from wild nature to local cultures, and have taken their VW bus across Belgium and Europe, enjoying the open road and the small moments along the way.
8. World Travel Family
World Travel Family is created by Alyson and her husband, Chef, and their two sons D and Boo. They turned travel into both a lifestyle and a business, proving that you can explore the world with kids in tow.
What makes their blog stand out is how they use travel as a tool for education and personal growth. They believe traveling with kids expands horizons in ways traditional schooling can’t match. Their adventures have taken them to places like Japan, Jordan, Bali, the UK and Thailand, and they now base themselves in Australia.
Their site is full of practical tips and personal stories from trekking in the Himalayas to snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef. You’ll get advice on family accommodations, budgeting, travel gear and especially homeschooling on the road.
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 writes and takes the photos and Tony contributes his writing too. They began in 2017 when they bought an RV and hit the road full time across the USA.
What makes their story real is how they live life fully and encourage others to do the same. They started to escape cold Minnesota winters and improve Tony’s health, and it turned into a lifestyle that brought their family closer and enriched their children’s learning through worldschooling.
They spent three years exploring the USA in a 33 foot RV and figured out ways to earn money online to keep traveling. In 2019 they stored the RV and took their journey overseas, visiting places like Bali, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Thailand and Japan, sharing their experiences and inspiring other families 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.

What to Look for in a Digital Nomad Family Blog
Not all family travel blogs are created equal. Some are beautiful but light on substance. Others are dense with logistics but forget to show the human side. Here is what I look for before I trust a blog enough to learn from it.
Honest about money. The best blogs share real numbers. Rough monthly budgets, how they earn, what they would do differently. Inspiration without economics is just a pretty holiday album.
Kids as real people, not props. Look for blogs where the children have names, opinions, and even bad days. If every post shows grinning kids on a beach with zero friction, it is probably curated beyond usefulness.
Practical alongside personal. A great digital nomad family blog answers questions you actually have: Which health insurance? How did they handle schooling? What visa did they use? The emotional story matters, but so does the logistics.
Updated content. A blog that has not published in two years may have outdated visa rules or closed accommodation recommendations. Check the dates on posts before you follow a guide.
How to Use These Blogs Without Getting Overwhelmed
I have been deep in the rabbit hole of digital nomad family blogs, and I know how quickly it turns from inspiring to paralyzing. Here is the approach that actually works.
Start with one family whose situation resembles yours. Similar number of kids, similar budget range, similar work setup. Read their origin story first. Then go to their practical posts. Skip the destination guides for now.
Build a short reading list, not an infinite scroll. Pick three blogs from this list and commit to reading ten posts on each before adding more. Depth beats breadth when you are trying to learn.
When a blog really clicks, go deeper. Sign up for their newsletter. Many bloggers share things in email that never make it to the public blog: visa updates, real income figures, honest reflections. That is where the gold often is.
And if you are serious about making the leap, use blogs as research tools, not just motivation. Screenshot the useful bits. Keep a folder. Treat it like the research phase it actually is.
Key Takeaways
- Digital nomad family blogs are a shortcut to real-life experience, not just pretty travel pics.
- This list mixes big, well-known sites with smaller, very honest family blogs.
- Use their stories as tools, not rules – take what fits your family and leave the rest.
- When a blog really resonates, dive into their newsletters, courses, and community.
- If you’re serious about starting your own digital nomad family journey, keep reading Nomadmum – I share exactly what has worked (and what hasn’t) for us.
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.

FAQ: The Best Digital Nomad Family Blogs
What is a digital nomad family blog?
A digital nomad family blog is a website where parents document how they live, work, and travel with their kids full-time. You will find personal stories, monthly budgets, school solutions, visa advice, and practical tips for planning your own transition to nomadic life.
Are digital nomad family blogs realistic or just highlight reels?
The blogs on this list are genuinely honest. They cover burnout, money stress, failed plans, and the emotional cost of leaving home, not just the beautiful destinations. That is exactly the kind of content worth trusting when you are making real decisions for your family.
How do digital nomad families make money while traveling?
Most families earn income online through things like freelancing, remote jobs, blogging, online businesses, or coaching. Some mix this with savings, rental income, or seasonal work. On Nomadmum I talk openly about how we do it and what I’d do differently if I started again. Read my article on how to become a digital nomad copywriter.
Can kids still get a good education as part of a digital nomad family?
Yes, with planning. Most digital nomad families worldschool, homeschool, or enroll kids in local schools for a semester at a time. Some use structured online curricula. The blogs on this list share what has actually worked across different ages, budgets, and countries, so you can find an approach that fits your family.
Which digital nomad family blog is best for beginners?
If you’re just starting out, I’d begin with 5 Lost Together, TraveLynn Family, and my own Nomadmum blog. They combine practical guides with very honest posts about the emotional side of leaving “normal” life.
Do digital nomad families need a special visa to travel with kids?
It depends on the destination. Many countries now offer dedicated digital nomad visas that cover the whole family, including children. Others require standard tourist visas with periodic border runs. The best digital nomad family blogs, including several on this list, document their own visa experiences by country so you can research your specific situation before you go.
What is worldschooling and how does it work for nomadic families?
Worldschooling is an approach to education where travel itself becomes the classroom. Kids learn geography, history, languages, and culture through direct experience rather than a fixed curriculum. It can be fully unstructured or supported by online programs. Many families on this list worldschool, and they share their methods, resources, and honest results on their blogs.
