Traveling the World Together

Welcome to Whereabouts Worldwide

We are a family of 4 from Minnesota and over the past 10 years we’ve gradually been making our way around the world.

It’s been thrilling to explore its cities and natural wonders, while collecting adventures and amazing experiences along the way.

Despite our busy lives at home, we have always prioritized our true passion…travel.
