The Family Travel Studio is a proudly Australian-owned small business, here to help your family explore the world.
Every family is different. Your travel dreams, your budget, your kids’ ages, your holiday style, so I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all trips. I take the time to get to know you and tailor every itinerary to fit the needs of your family, whether you're planning a relaxing beach break, an epic theme park adventure or something in between.
I’m here to take the stress out of planning and make your next getaway easy, exciting, and unforgettable.
Contact me anytime for a personalised quote or advice, I’d love to help you plan something truly special for your family.
FAMILY TRAVEL ADVISOR
Hi, I’m Shelley!
I’m a FIFO wife, a mum to two curious kids who keep me on my toes, and a proud pet mum to a dog, some chickens, and a couple of ducks that rule the backyard.
I know how chaotic family life can be and how precious those windows of time are when you can all get away together. That’s why I started this business: to help busy parents like you plan amazing, memory-making holidays without the stress, confusion, or 27 tabs open on your laptop.
Travel is my happy place. Whether it’s relaxing on a beach, chasing theme park thrills, exploring nature, or soaking up a new culture—I’m always dreaming, planning, or researching something. And I bring all that passion to every client trip I plan.
I’ve travelled with babies, toddlers, school-aged kids, and kids with medical issues—so I get what works for families and what doesn’t. Some of our favourite destinations as a family have included Hawaii, Disneyland, the Maldives, Mauritius, Singapore, Croatia, New Zealand, and the USA. If you’re wondering what destinations are actually worth it with kids. I’ve been to a fair few, packed a LOT of snacks, and can tell you what’s worth the hype (and what’s not).
This year we've witnessed turtle hatchlings in Exmouth, explored Singapore’s family-friendly highlights, soaked up the magic of the Maldives and keeping the turtle theme going, we swam alongside turtles on the picture perfect Cook Islands!
Last year, we tried our first cruise with the kids—a Disney Cruise—and they were absolutely hooked. If you’re curious about cruising as a family, I can tell you what to expect, what to pack, and which lines might suit your family best.
When I’m not helping other families plan unforgettable getaways, I’m usually in the veggie patch (with mixed success) or trying to get through a good book!
So, what’s The Family Travel Studio all about?
The Family Travel Studio exists because I want to make family travel easier, less stressful and I want families to experience incredible destinations and create lifelong memories like I do with my family. I help parents like you figure out where to go, what to do, and how to make it all happen. I know how important these moments are, and I’m here to make sure your next trip is one the whole family will love.
Whether you're dreaming of theme parks, relaxing beach stays, fun-filled road trips, or once-in-a-lifetime overseas adventures, I'm here to help. Browse the blog for travel tips, destination guides, and ideas, or reach out when you’re ready to start planning. I’d love to help bring your family’s travel dreams to life.
