Mini bio
How the travels began.
Danny and Dalya met in their first week studying computer science at the University of Waterloo. A two-month backpacking trip through Australia and Asia during an exchange semester sparked their love of travel. After graduating and marrying, they kept exploring as their family grew.
Adventures as a family.
Through Sweet Little Journey, they share photographs and practical accounts of traveling with children. Their trips range from a campervan journey around Iceland to exploring Bhutan and spending three months in Bali during a worldschooling program. Recent posts turn those experiences into detailed family itineraries.
A second creative thread.
Danny began making Flash games and animations at 12. He created the original light-bot while in high school, then rebuilt it in 2013 for education and multiple platforms after teachers adopted it. Lightbot became his full-time work after university and earned him a place on the 2015 Forbes 30 Under 30 education list.
