Madagascar

Reflections by Filippa

We took the whole family to visit Madagascar this summer and I discovered an unknown land. At least that’s what it felt like, pioneering into unchartered territories. The discovery of a new landscape, a new culture, and a new people fascinated and inspired me.

We rented a house on Nosy Be, a large island off the north western coast. From here we explored the area, visiting Helleville the main town with its faded french colonial charm. Buying vanilla, wild spices and tropical fruits at the market and walking along beaches still full of authentic local life.
