About Us
We’re Anna & Steven, former physician assistants turned full-time family travelers behind Wanderlust Haaks.
After 21+ months abroad with our two kids, we’ve learned that choosing the right destination matters more than choosing the most popular one.
Destination Match was built from the same system we use for our own family: budget, pace, housing, safety, kid-friendliness, daily life, and what a place actually feels like once you arrive.
We help families stop guessing where to go and start choosing destinations that fit real life.
