A one-year-old baby influencer earns a whopping $1,000 from travelling the US with his parents. You can check out some of the incredible places he's been here:

Briggs Darrington might not be able to walk yet, but he can certainly fly - already racking up 45 flights, including one eight-hour journey.

The youngster has visited 16 US states alongside his mum Jess and dad Steve, with the family seeing bears in Alaska, wolves in Yellowstone National Park, the Delicate Arch in Utah, and stunning beaches in California.

Mum Jess took Briggs on his first ever trip when he was just three weeks old and reckons he could be the youngest travel influencer in the world.

His Where Is Briggs? TikTok page has more than 250,000 while his Instagram page has almost 30,000 followers.

Before Briggs was born in October last year Jess was already working as a full time travel blogger, and was initially worried how she would continue when the newborn arrived.

She said: "I had been running a blog called Part Time Tourists for a few years, being paid to travel the world.

"But when I fell pregnant with Briggs in 2020, I was really nervous that my career was over, as I didn't know if it was possible to continue with a baby.

"But my husband and I really wanted to make it work. So I started to look for social media accounts that talked about baby travel, I couldn't find a single one!

"I saw a gap and decided to set up social media accounts as a fun way of sharing everything that I learned - the good and bad - of travelling with a baby, to help other first-time parents.

"I never dreamed that it would end up helping so many new moms that are dealing with postpartum anxiety and depression due to changing their previous lifestyle or being too nervous to leave the home.

"Now Briggs is the world's first baby travel influencer!"

Jess said the family have managed to travel in between coronavirus lockdowns and they made the decision to continue with their intrepid trips by sticking to safety guidelines.

Jess said: "We would wear masks and socially distance ourselves from people.

"For example, at the airport, instead of going directly to our gate, which would have been busy, we found a gate of a plane that had already left, so it was completely empty, so we had a lot of space.

"We also disinfected everything. And if his pacifiers fell on the floor, we wouldn't hand them back to Briggs.

"We avoided big city travel, so we haven't been to places like New York City, instead we've focused on finding those hidden gems, and travelling outdoors too."
