Hello! We’re thrilled you're here! Here is a lit

Hello! We’re thrilled you're here! Here is a little about us for those who have just stumbled across our path.
We are Steven, Jenni and Maximus. Our travel journey started well before we added Maximus! Once Max entered our lives, we were determined to transition into family travel. We had no idea what to expect or what that looked like. Pre-pandemic we traveled domestically as a family, from the US, but then COVID happened which really put a damper on travel for everyone (as if you didn't already know!)
Once parts of the world started to open up and vaccines started happening, we slowly started getting back into the travel scene. We are here to share our adventures with you, money-saving tips to get you to travel more often (with or without kids), and how we plan our trips!
Some facts about us:
✈Steven is self-employed and I work full time (so yes you can still plan plenty of travel with this dynamic!)
✈We love finding travel deals and sharing them with those around us.
✈Max is a wild child to the core and this has never discouraged us from traveling! Each time we return from a trip, he has blossomed in a new way.
😊We are so glad you're here and THANK YOU for following our story! Please ask us anything, we are happy to share what we have learned!

Steven is always making sure our route is correct. 🗺 When in a new country and unfamiliar territory, I have often relied on the power of the Internet and maps.

Switching things up with a natural pool. A short walk from here was a "cold" plunge pool. They should have redefined cold as "the arctic unleashed in Mexico, you're welcome". Seriously reminded us of home and the Deschutes River in the summer.

What traveling means to us

Wed to Wanderlust Family Travel Blog

STEVEN

“I can’t even begin to tell you how special it is to experience adventure, through the eyes of our son. Family travel is definitely different than what we’ve encountered before. Yet this change means the world to me.”

JENNI

“I’ve classified myself as a “forever learner”. Traveling feeds this passion and I’m lucky to share this with my best friend. And now, with our son. Watching him experience life, is absolutely magical!”

Each new culture Max experiences has allowed him to blossom in new ways. Traveling continues to open his world to new ideas, usually leaving him with a huge smile on his face.
