My husband has always been an avid traveler. Before we met, he had already seen much of the world, and his love for exploring new cultures was infectious. For me, the story is a little different. Growing up, travel wasn’t a big part of my life. My parents didn’t have the same desire to explore, but I always knew there was more out there waiting for me. Luckily, during high school, I had the opportunity to join two exchange projects that allowed me to explore different countries and cultures. That experience sparked my love for travel and left me wanting more.

Years later, when I met my husband, we instantly connected over our mutual love for adventure. It didn’t take long for us to realize that traveling would be a central part of our lives together. In fact, just three months into our relationship, we packed our bags for our first trip together—a sun-soaked beach holiday in beautiful Croatia. During that trip, we found ourselves dreaming about the future and how we’d one day explore the world as a family.

That dream quickly turned into reality. About 14 months after that trip to Croatia, we found ourselves boarding a plane again, this time with a very special passenger: our three-month-old son, Logan. From that moment on, we became a traveling trio, determined to show him the beauty, diversity, and wonder the world has to offer.

We created Suitcase & Strollers to share the joys and challenges of family travel. We believe that travel doesn’t have to stop when you have children—it just becomes a different kind of adventure. Through this blog, we aim to inspire other families to embrace travel, no matter how young their kids are.

We’ll be sharing tips on traveling with little ones, insights from our own adventures, and lessons we’ve learned along the way. From navigating airports with toddlers to finding kid-friendly spots in unexpected places, our goal is to make family travel easier, more enjoyable, and filled with unforgettable memories.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. Whether you’re an experienced traveler or just starting out with your little one in tow, we hope you find inspiration, helpful advice, and a sense of connection in our stories.
