Parents have been very creative over the last year to handle their new reality and make sure to keep their children safe, entertained, healthy and happy. One year and a half after, we are amazed to see how the lunchbox community managed to stay inspired and motivated. This month we want to celebrate a group of lunchbox moms who decided to help us escape and explore the world from our kitchen. During 2 weeks they will pack and share themed lunches featuring a country they would like to travel to, and they invite everyone to join this fun challenge!

The #lunchboxesaroundtheworld challenge is on!

Meet Noemie (@funkytartines, Belgium), Filio (@abc_lunchies, Cyprus), Sabine (@Pausenbrojunkie, Germany), Inga (@kidscantwaiforlunch, Canada), Clare (@snackboxdiairies, Singapore), and Karla (@lunchatnoone, USA) – from left to right on the photo above. This group of lunchbox moms connected through food, sharing lunchbox ideas and tips on Teuko.com and Instagram, each one with their own culture and preferences. This week they decided to spread the fun around the discovery of new foods and recipes by inviting their community members to take a virtual trip around the world. 

Starting May 3rd, and during 2 weeks, the team will take tours to showcase a country they would love to escape to. Join the challenge and find your escape!
