Who Are the Wandering Wagars?
Welcome to our site! We are Kevin and Christina, two adventure-loving parents with a deep passion for family and travel. When we had our first son, we decided that we wanted to share our love of the world with our children. And 6-years later we have traveled with our two boys to over 18 countries on 4 continents. The world is the greatest teacher, and we want to help other parents share a love of travel with their children. We want to inspire families to stretch the limits of their comfort zone and travel deeper to some of the most amazing places throughout the world. Experience culture, food, people and experiences that open up a new perspective on the world. Whether you’re looking to book a trip, learn about a destination, or just get inspired by some great travel photos. We are here to help.
We started our family travel blog in 2015 to help share our adventure for kids experiences with others. And to inspire other parents to travel with kids. Whether you are looking for the best vacations with kids, or to stretch your comfort zones with family adventure vacations, we have compiled our favorite experiences together to help you experience the world. We take worldschooling to epic levels as we teach our kids first hand about all of the amazing experiences, cultures, and nature that this beautiful world has to offer.
