This is the complete itinerary of our family’s 444-day round-the-world trip, from our departure on 29 May 2018 to our return on 17 August 2019: every one of the 50 countries we visited, in order, with arrival and departure dates for each stop.

The Wonderlusters project began in November 2017, when Poly and Jessica decided to set off on a world tour with their two sons. Six months later, the family left for the adventure of a lifetime — a trip that added up to 56 flights, 33 car rentals and 181 lodgings.
