About Travel Babbo

Travel Babbo is the family travel blog of Eric Stoen, who left healthcare in 2014 to write about taking his wife and three children around the world. Stoen writes from decades of experience and more than 900,000 miles of family travel, visiting over 100 countries and seven continents. The site hosts more than 275 posts and practical guides that cover destinations, hotels, age-by-age advice, and money-saving tips. Readers will find long, illustrated trip reports and planning posts that rely on Eric's own photography, plus a Start Here hub for popular posts and family travel strategies.

What makes Travel Babbo distinct is its cheerful conviction that kids belong on big trips, not left behind. Eric writes in a candid, conversational voice - pragmatic, a little wry, and clearly experienced - that turns hotel reviews and itinerary notes into useful stories you can actually use. The best material is the practical, family-first stuff: age-specific destination advice, one-on-one trip ideas, and hotel recommendations that account for kids. Posts are long enough to be useful and generously illustrated, and new essays and guides arrive at about a rate of one a month, so there is a steady stream of fresh family travel inspiration.
