    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.

          If you go to Russia, you might as well have a river cruise from Perm to Moscow and visit all the beautiful small and not so small towns on the way like Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Kostroma,Yaroslavl, Uglich.
