creative mind and \u201cPAPArazzi\u201d behind Wandering Dutchies and our travel blog.<br \/>As a digital designer and videographer, he\u2019s the one capturing all the beautiful photos and videos of our trips. He\u2019s also responsible for the visual vibe of our adventures and spends a lot of time mapping out the best routes \u2013 which often leads us to some pretty unique places. Whether we&#8217;re in the US, Italy or Vietnam, Guus has a knack for capturing every moment just right. His ultimate travel dream? A journey to Tibet and the Himalayas.     <\/span><br \/><\/div><div id=\"pill-69e0eae6adee7\" class=\"pk-tab-pane pk-fade\" role=\"tabpanel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marissa is the planner of the family, making sure everything runs smoothly during our travels.<br \/>She loves preparing our adventures and always ensures everyone looks good in the photos. On top of her passion for planning and organizing, she writes most of the blog posts you\u2019ll find here. With a background in childcare, she knows exactly how to make our trips as kid-friendly as possible \u2013 which makes traveling as a family just a little easier. Her dream destinations? A road trip through Australia and a visit to Hawaii.     <\/span>.<br \/><\/div><div id=\"pill-69e0eae6adf40\" class=\"pk-tab-pane pk-fade\" role=\"tabpanel\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nina, our oldest daughter, is already a true little traveler at just 5 years old.<br \/>She\u2019s visited no less than 20 countries and is always excited for the next adventure. Swimming, skiing, eating pizza and building sandcastles are her absolute favorites. Mexico and the United States have made the biggest impression on her so far, but her list keeps growing. Her biggest dream? Traveling through South Africa one day.     <\/span><br \/><\/div><div id=\"pill-69e0eae6adf97\" class=\"pk-tab-pane pk-fade\" role=\"tabpanel\"><span class=\"s1\">Puck is our youngest little explorer. With her curious nature and cheeky smile, she happily tags along on all our adventures, ever since her very first flight at just two months old!
