I'm Emma and I live in Ballarat, in Victoria, Australia. If I won the lotto I would spend my days travelling and sharing my experiences through blogging and photos – it would be my dream job!
I am about to embark on my first trip to the UK, which I have been looking forward to since I was a child. I hope to immerse myself in British culture and history, and explore some of my family history roots in England and Scotland.
I love writing and creating content so I’ve created this blog as a travel journal and map for our trip. I hope to travel more over the coming years as time and funds allow, and will add these trips to this blog in due course!
I’m Sienna and I’m in Year 11 in Ballarat, Victoria. I’m really looking forward to our trip to the UK, particularly our day to Paris on the Eurostar, and seeing various things related to Harry Styles and One Direction, and places from the Harry Potter movies. Also exploring Edinburgh and scenery in Scotland, England and Wales.
I'm Bridie, and I've recently graduated from Year 12 in Ballarat. I am currently on a gap year before I start a Bachelor of Marine Science at Deakin University in 2026.
I've just spent 2 months in Canada working at a summer camp, and I'm excited to visit more places in a different part of the world. I enjoy photography and will be taking plenty of photos on our travels, which I'll be posting on my photography Instagram: mirrortail_photography
18 September – 9 October 2025
On my first trip to the UK I am travelling with my two daughters, Bridie (19) and Sienna (17). We are spending our first few days in London, including a day in Paris via the Eurostar, then will travel around England, Scotland and Wales in a hire car.
Our itinerary is crafted around our shared interests. As we are limited to three weeks, we decided to spend a short time at each place so we could experience a wide range of destinations. We hope to return places of interest and explore them in more depth on our next visit to the UK.
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.
