Benjamin Flajnik is a world traveler, winemaker, and author living in northern California. In a serendipitously inspired a-hah! moment, he was boarding a plane one day, when he noticed an insect fly into the cabin, and thought to himself, where are you headed, little guy? Wanting to impart a love for travel within his beloved three-year-old niece, Josephine, at young age, he created the Frequent Flyers® series based on a trio of globe-trotting flies.
