WHO IS DANIELLE?

Hello, my name is Danielle Mathie. I’m a blogger and marketing communications professional from Australia. In addition to this blog, I run Zen Travel Life a wellness site focused on showcasing some of the most blissful places to visit in Australia, while also highlighting the importance of caring for your wellbeing.

My love of travel began early with many memorable family sun holidays and road trips around Australia. However, it wasn’t until my first solo overseas trip at 17 to the UK and Europe that I would be infected by the travel bug.

As a result, I spent the next decade working, saving, travelling overseas and repeating – a vicious but exhilarating cycle which has seen me visit over 16 countries.

Now these days my travel behaviour and interests have slightly changed since becoming a mum, favouring more family-friendly destinations, road trips and finding the best family holidays Queensland, Australia and beyond has to offer.

A focus on Queensland holidays with kids

Living in Brisbane, I love to discover and showcase all things Queensland holidays with kids primarily now. But occasionally, I can’t help to throw in some other Australian family travel must-dos, and the odd US and NZ travel content – because why not. YOLO!

So, by subscribing and following you can expect to find family-friendly local QLD attractions, awesome Queensland family resorts, amazing Queensland accommodation for families, affordable family holidays QLD offers, as well as, hot Queensland holiday destinations for families.

Because who doesn’t love and want to explore the ‘Sunshine State’ on their next family holiday!?

HOW IT STARTED?

It was in 2012 when my site Stuff It Go Travelling was born – an outlet to share my travel experiences, knowledge, tips and favourite destinations.

Since then it has grown and evolved into a family travel blog focused on inspiring and helping parents plan their family holidays Queensland, Australia and beyond. 

Currently, Stuff It Go Travelling reaches over 2,300+ social followers and has a growing community of readers from 24-44 years.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope my site inspires you to create more fond family holiday memories.

I believe these quotes sum it up perfectly:

“The greatest legacy we can leave our children is happy memories”. – Og Mandino.

When you travel with children you are giving something that can never be taken away… experience, exposure and a way of life.” – Pamela T. Chandler.
