Welcome to the travel blog of Wandering Dutchies! We’re Guus, Marissa, Nina (5) and Puck (2), a Dutch family with a serious case of wanderlust. It all started with an Instagram account, where we shared beautiful travel photos and useful tips. Now, Wandering Dutchies has grown into a full platform filled with inspiration and practical advice to help make your next trip easier and more fun. Whether you travel with kids or without, we’re here to show you that traveling can be truly amazing. And honestly? It’s often easier than you’d think.

Nina, our oldest daughter, is already a true little traveler at just 5 years old.
She’s visited no less than 20 countries and is always excited for the next adventure. Swimming, skiing, eating pizza and building sandcastles are her absolute favorites. Mexico and the United States have made the biggest impression on her so far, but her list keeps growing. Her biggest dream? Traveling through South Africa one day.

Puck is our youngest little explorer. With her curious nature and cheeky smile, she happily tags along on all our adventures, ever since her very first flight at just two months old! By now, she’s already set foot on three continents and makes every trip even more special for us as a family.
