Eric Stoen

I’m a writer and photographer specializing in family travel, based in California. My goal is to encourage everyone to take their kids to unique destinations, and I provide first-hand information through travelbabbo.com to make it easier to plan those trips. I’m always searching for the best, most unique, most interesting, most kid-friendly places and activities in the world to recommend to others.

I’ve traveled with my three kids (ages 9, 12 and 14) to 61 countries on 7 continents, with destinations including Antarctica, Kenya, Chile, Greenland, the Maldives and much of Europe. Every year each of my kids gets to choose any destination in the world (literally) for a one-on-one trip. I’ve won Conde Nast Traveler’s Photo of the Year award, Forbes named me the World’s #4 Most Influential Traveler, and most recently Fodor’s called me the top family travel influencer in the world. I’m an ambassador for Mizzen+Main and AFAR Magazine.
