Eric Stoen

I’m a writer and photographer specializing in family travel, based in California. My goal is to encourage everyone to take their kids to unique destinations, and I provide first-hand information through __________ to make it easier to plan those trips. I’m always searching for the best, most unique, most interesting, most kid-friendly places and activities in the world to recommend to others. I’ve traveled with my three kids (ages 11, 13 and 15) to 62 countries on 7 continents, with destinations including Antarctica, Kenya, Chile, Greenland, the Maldives and much of Europe. Every year each of my kids gets to choose any destination in the world (literally) for a one-on-one trip. In 2012 I won Conde Nast Traveler’s Photo of the Year award, and in 2017 Forbes named me the World’s #4 Most Influential Traveler. Earlier this year Fodor’s named me the top family travel influencer in the world. I’m an ambassador for GoDaddy and AFAR Magazine. Brands I’ve partnered with as a Travel Influencer include: Adero; Ancestry; Blundstone; Capital One; Celebrity Cruises; Cinnamon Hotels; Discovery Channel; Dollar; Emilia-Romagna Tourism; Enterprise; Greater Los Angeles Zoo Association; InterContinental Hotels; Kammok; Loews Hotels; Lonely Planet Kids; Lutron; MasterCard; Mauritius Tourism; Nature Valley; Oroweat; Panasonic; Plae; Qatar Airways; Ritz-Carlton; Rosetta Stone; Swissôtel; Thomson Family Adventures; Travelocity; Travel Manitoba; Travel Texas; Travel Wisconsin; Trello; TripAdvisor; Universal Orlando; Visit Greenland; Visit Mammoth; Visit Montana; Visit Trentino; Visit Utah; Westin; Wyndham Rewards; and Zappos.
