A family travel journal

8teensummers

You get about eighteen summers with your kids before they leave home. We're spending ours on the road, together, while there's still time.

The family on the road

We're a family of four from Germany — two parents, two daughters, aged 9 and 15 — who decided to stop postponing the trips we always talked about. We've traveled New York, Panama, Greece, Thailand, and the Czech mountains together. Next stop: China.

Along the way we document the small, real moments of traveling with kids — and we're always learning something new ourselves, Mandarin included. We also partner with hotels and brands who want honest, well-made family content.
