Hi, I’m Tor, the founder and editor of That Mum Travel Life.

I’m a UK-based travel writer and mum of two awesome boys. I write with a passion for helping families plan unforgettable trips.

I have worked with leading travel brands and publications, including Travel Off Path and Travel Insighter. With a background in commercial travel writing, SEO, and destination research, my focus is on creating better itineraries with less stress for parents everywhere.

Over the last several years, I’ve specialised in creating practical and experience-led travel guides that families really need. My pieces combine detailed planning advice with our own first-hand experience. The result? You’ll travel with your kids, with confidence!

As a family, we’ve travelled extensively with children of different ages, which means the recommendations across the site are always written from a real family perspective. We write with honesty ,as well as with excitement and practicality.

When I’m not researching our next trip, I spend my time planning Japan itineraries, watching my boys playing football or Pokemon, and searching for the best family-friendly food spots. I’m a beach-bum at heart, so if the sun is shining, you’ll usually find me with my feet in the ocean.
