About Me

Hi there! I’m Heather, a travel-loving, beach-obsessed Aussie, and the proud (sometimes exhausted!) single mum of five amazing kids. From sandy Australian shores to sprawling Texas road trips, we’re on a mission all about creating family-friendly adventures and memories to last a lifetime.

Our home is a bustling hub of love, laughter, and a fair bit of chaos. We live in Australia with my mum and sister, making up a multi-generational household of eight. Think of us as a blend of heartwarming family sitcom and DIY travel experiment!

When I’m not herding kids or planning our next adventure, you’ll find me writing about family travel with a geeky twist. Yep, we’re a family of proud geeks! Whether it’s geeking out over a Supernatural convention or diving into the wizarding world, we find magic in every corner of the globe.

Beyond travel, I’m passionate about something deeply personal: achieving financial freedom. I believe it should be achievable for everyone, no matter your starting point. As a single mum, I’ve learned firsthand how to budget, plan, and dream big while working towards financial independence. On this blog, I share my journey – the wins, the challenges, and the strategies that work for a family like ours – so you can feel inspired to take control of your finances too.

Why this blog? I started it to share real-life tips, tricks, and stories about traveling with kids. From budget hacks and family itineraries to juggling work, wanderlust, and saving for big dreams, I hope to inspire other parents to dream big, pack light, and embrace the messy, wonderful journey.

Oh, and because life is all about balance: you’ll also find me sneaking in moments for fitness, journaling, and yes, freezer-meal prep (trust me, it’s a lifesaver!).

So, grab a cuppa and join us as we explore, learn, save, and laugh our way through this big, beautiful world. Adventure – and financial freedom – awaits. Let’s make it happen together, one penny and passport stamp at a time.
