Eric Stoen, known online as Travel Babbo, embarked on his journey as a family travel blogger in 2014, after a career in healthcare. His passion for travel began in college with studies in Florence, Italy, and Heidelberg, Germany, where he explored much of Europe via overnight trains. He continued his travels after graduate school, often working remotely and aiming to visit at least five new countries annually. This dedication led him to more than 100 countries and all seven continents.
Stoen’s approach to travel evolved with marriage and the birth of his three children, now aged 15, 17, and 19. Unlike many who travel without children, Stoen embraced family travel, taking his first two children to Europe before their first birthdays, and his third at 16 months. A unique tradition for his family involves each child selecting a global destination for a one-on-one trip with him starting at age four. These trips have included diverse locales such as Australia, Hong Kong, Belize, Easter Island, Iguazu Falls, Palawan, Bali, Japan, the Maldives, and Antarctica, with two children completing around-the-world trips by age ten. Stoen extensively documents these experiences on his blog, Travel Babbo, offering tips on saving money and navigating family travel.
His expertise in family travel has earned him significant recognition. In 2012, he won Conde Nast Traveler Magazine’s Photo of the Year contest. Forbes named him the World’s #4 Travel Influencer in 2017, and Hubspot listed him as the #5 Top Travel Influencer on Instagram in 2018. Fodor’s Travel recognized him as the World’s Top Family Travel Influencer in 2019. He has also received multiple Muster Awards for Travel Photography from the Society of American Travel Writers, including Bronze Photographer of the Year in 2022. LUXLife Travel & Tourism Awards honored him as Best Family Travel Writer USA and for Excellence in Travel Photography in 2020. Stoen’s work has been featured in various publications, and he has served as a judge for the Australian Society of Travel Writers’ Annual Awards Competition.
