Nadine, who writes at Juggle Mum and is our BritMums blog editor, wrote an interesting piece recently: What makes a good travel blogger? In the post Nadine interviews two representatives of companies she has worked with on blogging assignments to find out what qualities are important in a travel blogger. It was reassuring to read that although brands are looking for people who are flexible and have an audience that matches the company, they are also searching for writers with an authentic voice.
The posts for this month’s round-up, which has no particular theme, highlight how different we all are. Most are written by experienced family travel bloggers in our community but whether they are writing about a press trip or their own chosen holidays, they have their own style which makes their blog unique.
Within the UK, I have some fantastic posts for you from Aviemore in Scotland down to Cornwall in the South West, stopping off in Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Wales and Wiltshire on the way.

About Trish Burgess
Trish Burgess started her blog ‘Mum’s Gone To…’ with a series of posts called ‘Mum's Gone To Iceland' where she was extremely ill on a whale-watching trip and thought she would die snow-mobiling on a glacier. Thankfully she survived and continued with less scary family trips: ‘Mum’s Gone To…Canada, Cyprus, Barcelona, Berlin etc. Originally from Newcastle upon Tyne she now lives in South Lincolnshire and travels with her husband and occasionally with her son, who is now at university.
