Who We Are: Real Parents Navigating Travel with Picky Eaters

We’re a family of four with international roots, a love for travel, and two kids who’ve taught us that picky eating doesn’t take a vacation. Picky Eaters Abroad began as a way to document the real-life challenges of traveling with children who don’t always eat what’s in front of them. Our daughter has always been selective, while our son surprised us by becoming a picky eater mid-toddlerhood—just in time for a long-haul flight and a plate of untouched noodles in Tokyo.

We’ve lived in multiple countries, moved across continents, and learned to navigate unfamiliar grocery aisles, restaurant menus, and snack emergencies in places like Bangkok, Athens, and London. Along the way, we’ve discovered that parenting abroad with picky eaters is equal parts chaos and connection.

This site is a resource for families who want to explore the world without sacrificing mealtime sanity. You’ll find practical tips for traveling with picky eaters, snack hacks that actually work, and honest stories from parents who’ve been there. Whether you’re planning your first trip or you’re deep in the trenches of mealtime negotiations, we hope this space feels like a reassuring nod from someone who gets it.

And we are so happy that you are here.
