Travellers Pen

Welcome to our travel blog!

I’m Emma and I’m an aspiring travel blogger. My daughters and I recently took our first trip to the UK, flying out from Melbourne on 18 September 2025 for three weeks.

I am gradually writing about each place we visited throughout our trip, however bear with me as this is taking some time to get through!

Each time I publish new blog posts I post to social media - you can follow us here:

Our itinerary

We spent the first few days in London, including a day trip to Paris via the Eurostar. We then hired a car and made our way around the UK.

You can view all of our posts or explore them through these curated collections:

  • posts by date – our day to day itinerary
  • posts by theme – including movie and book locations, Harry Potter, myths and legends, historic sites and villages, and our family history
  • posts by location – grouped by country and area 
  • posts by map – a pinned map of each place we visited
  • accommodation – ranging from historic cottages to modern hotels.

Note: Various stock photos have been used for banners and tiles across the site for visual representation, however we won't necessarily visit all of these specific places.
