Hi, I’m Evie! I’m a travel obsessed solo mum who loves helping women holiday and explore the world, whether with kids on our family trips or in a group of supportive women on our chicks trips.
I know that it can be daunting to travel, and so our trips are designed to support you to feel confident so you can travel alone on future trips, or provide you with annual overseas holidays where you feel safe and comfortable and can explore the world with us.
I’ve been running family trips since 2019 and am thrilled to be now offering women only trips too – I really appreciate how important it is to get away on your own or with friends after doing some solo trips of my own and loving the time to myself.
I work with locals businesses on our holidays as much as possible. It’s important to me that I support the communities that we visit and work in, and that our holidays contribute to local families and communities. We use local school teachers for baby sitting and facilitating some of our experiences, we use local guides and eat at family run restaurants.
It’s also important to me to provide a secure and safe space for women to travel alone with their kids and that’s why our trips (so far) are women only. I do get a lot of requests for mum and dad trips and I would love to branch out into these – I’ll definitely share when I do.
The reason I started these trips was to help other mums gain their confidence to travel with their children. I travelled full time with my daughter from 2016 to 2019 and then was on the road again when the pandemic hit. While we were on our travels I had so many messages from mums wanting to join me or wanting information on how to do it – from this, mumpack trips was born, to open the world to mums and their children. And then, I launched our women only trips once I discovered the joy of traveling without kids too.
