Travel Like You Mean It
What if your next trip wasn’t just a break from routine, but a meaningful part of your family story?
Once Upon a Getaway is a travel blog for families who dream bigger than the usual holiday. Instead, we believe travel should reflect who you are: curious, open-hearted, and ready to create lasting memories. Whether you’re seeking rich cultural moments, unexpected beauty, or the spark of something new, we’re here to inspire you to choose experiences that go far beyond the brochure.
This isn’t about ticking boxes or following the crowd. It’s about choosing places, plans and moments that feel like they were made for you.
Looking for more from your next holiday?
More connection. More curiosity. More of the good stuff.
Let me send you travel stories, ideas and inspiration to help make it happen.
Where We’ve Travelled
This blog is for families who want more than just a holiday — who travel to feel, learn, grow, and remember. If that sounds like you, you’ll find plenty of ideas here for your next getaway.
let’s connect
Hi! I’m Bec
Yorkshire-born, Sydney-based, and half Maltese, I’ve always had one foot somewhere else. Travel isn’t just something I do — it’s how I reconnect with myself, my family, and the world beyond the everyday.
Once Upon a Getaway is part picture postcard, part field notes, and part travel companion. It’s a place to share the kind of experiences that change you — whether it’s watching your kids discover something new, tasting a dish you can’t stop thinking about, or finally visiting the place you’ve dreamed of for years.
If you’ve ever felt the pull of somewhere else, wondered what’s waiting out there for you, or wanted more than the usual resort package — you’re in the right place.
