Based In Kent
My name is Lauren and I am based in Ashford, Kent.
I love being a Travel Counsellor because I believe that planning a holiday should be exciting and not stressful.
My job is to guide you and take care of you every step of the way. Think of me as your personal travel concierge! I’ll take care of everything from the research and booking stage right up until after you arrive home! All I ever want you to worry about is having the best time!
Our household is super busy, I live with my husband, our 5 gorgeous boys, my mum, a St Bernard, 2 cats, 4 guinea pigs, a tortoise and 13 ducks. We love to travel, camp, bike ride and much more, with 5 boys we never sit down!
My passion for travel started when I was little, I was lucky enough to travel lots with my parents and siblings. They took us on amazing holidays; we went far and wide and that is something that I always wanted for my children. We have been fortunate to have travelled to many places, across Europe, America, the Caribbean, Asia, Africa and the Indian Ocean. My Favourite destinations so far have been Rome and Florida (I love all things Disney!).
I know exactly what us parents need and what the children need to make a holiday enjoyable for everyone, travelling with 5 children will absolutely give that perspective. I will give you 100% tailored recommendations just for you and your family. I can arrange everything from hotels, flights, transfers, kids club, excursions, airport lounges and so much more, just ask!
I know how busy life is, so I will always try to make myself available and offer flexible consultations. I’ll be honoured to assist and turn your trip from the standard to the exceptional.
Every part of your holiday is financially protected and I’m personally here for you, along with our 24/7 duty office if you need anything while you are away.
I love nothing more than creating core memories for me and my family, so let me help make some for you and yours!
I look forward to hearing from you!

Everyone talks about the theme parks in Florida, and of course, they’re amazing—but for us, some of the most magical memories happened outside the parks. Exploring hidden gems, indulging in quirky experiences, and just enjoying the Florida vibe made this trip so special. Here’s everything we did, in detail.

Our Florida adventure was 16 days of magic, fun, and family chaos — perfectly suited to our family of seven! Here’s how we planned it, travelled, and set ourselves up for a holiday that ran as smoothly as possible (mostly!).

What is financial protection – and why is it so important for your holiday? Booking a holiday and counting down the days until you can set that ‘out of office’ is one of life’s great joys. But in the midst of all the excitement, there’s one essential thing that’s often overlooked: financial protection. What if something goes wrong? How protected are you? And how much do you really know about it?

Back in September 2017, we threw ourselves into the deep end of family travel and took our first Disneyland Paris trip with three children under five — M (5), G (3), and baby R (just 3 months old). Along with my husband (chief buggy pusher) and my mum (Nanny of the year), we spent five nights creating memories full of magic, meltdowns, and Mickey Mouse-shaped everything.

There’s something magical about Rome in February. With fewer crowds, crisp blue skies, and a relaxed pace, the Eternal City felt like ours to explore. The weather was surprisingly mild — we were mostly in hoodies by day, and although I live in woolly hats in winter months (I hate cold ears!), there was no need for big coats. Just the right blend of cool and comfortable. The Start of Something Spe

A few years ago, we packed up our little circus—when it really was still little (just a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old!)—and flew to Sani Beach in Halkidiki, Greece, for a springtime escape. Honestly? It was one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made. People often ask if April is too early for a beach break—especially with little ones. But Greece in spring? Absolute perfection. Think gentle su

Meet the Travel Mum Family We’re the kind of family that brings the energy wherever we go — not by choice, but because we’re a team of seven! I’m Lauren, the mum behind Travel Mum, and I travel with my five boys (ages 12, 10, 7, 5, and 2) and my incredibly patient husband.
