About us

I’m Hayley — mum, travel-lover, and the storyteller behind this blog. We’re a family from the UK exploring the world one toddler-friendly adventure at a time, proving that you don’t need a massive budget (or a perfect itinerary) to make amazing memories.

From chilled beach breaks to city wanders with a buggy, we’re all about real, affordable travel with little ones in tow. You’ll also find a few throwbacks to our pre-kid trips — because the travel bugs been there long before the nappies and baby wipes!

We’re a normal family — both of us work full time, juggling nursery runs, annual leave, and a typical holiday budget. That’s why we started Tiny Toes Big Trails: to show other everyday families that it is possible to travel during school holidays, skip the overpriced packages, and still have brilliant adventures.

If you’re looking for honest tips, laid-back inspiration, and a glimpse into what it’s really like to travel as a young family — you’re in the right place.
