Family travel guides for parents who actually plan
I’m Amelia. I live in South Australia, and I spent ten years in the travel industry before I started writing these guides, and every destination here is somewhere my own family has actually been.
A Winter Escape is built for families who want the day’s adventure and a genuinely good place to land at the end of it. Not backpacking on a shoestring, not a resort you never leave, just proper research on the hotels, tours, and logistics that actually matter when you’re travelling with kids.
Adventure without roughing it.
We plan our trips around school holidays and work commitments, not around an open-ended calendar. We’re not gap year travellers or full-time nomads, we’re a working family who makes the most of the time we do have. That means every trip is chosen deliberately: real adventure and real memories with the kids, then a comfortable, well-chosen place to come back to at the end of the day.
We’re drawn to destinations that give our kids a different way of seeing the world, somewhere with its own history, culture, and rhythm. Somewhere that builds a bit of resilience and a genuinely global mindset, not just a nice photo. That’s the philosophy behind every guide here: proper adventure, a soft landing, and a family who came home a little more curious than when they left.
