Hey, I'm Phylicia

I'm a family and wine travel blogger and photographer based in the Pacific Northwest. For the past 8 years, I have been the voice behind my family travel brand, The Backpacker Mom, a top resource for epic family and wine travel inspiration for families with babies and young kids. Our imagery is all about storytelling and highlighting a product or destination in the most visually appealing way that is natural and authentic, and 100% aligned with the clients we work with.



As a mom who strives to prioritize traveling, we prove that exploration knows no age limit (my daughter has been on planes since she was six weeks old, and my son took his first flight at three months old). Whether we’re wandering through enchanting cobblestone streets, hiking through lush landscapes, or sharing laughter with the locals, our bond grows stronger with each new destination we discover.

Our journey is not just about us; it’s about building a vibrant community of like-minded adventurers and wine lovers. So, let’s raise our glasses to new friendships and shared experiences. Join us on this exhilarating ride as we explore the world, one sip at a time!
