The one constant of having a baby is change. Those who have already experienced the miracle of parenthood warn you about the impending changes to your “oh-so-chic-and-carefree” lifestyle. Once your little bundle of joy arrives, you realize they weren’t exaggerating. Change is the only constant in your life.

But Bébé Voyage founders, Juliet Perrachon and Marianne Perez de Fransius did not believe that motherhood meant the end of their travel-centric lifestyle. Instead, they felt that they could and should embrace their old passion and pass it on to their own children. As global citizens, both Marianne and Juliet have lived all over the world. Their families and friends are spread worldwide. Traveling is a way to connect, to instill curiosity and wonder, and to bring up children who are OK being outside their comfort zone. These values hold true whether at home or out in the world, no matter how near or far.
