About Us

Welcome to Australia’s favourite family travel blog! Let’s Go Mum is the multi-award winning Australian family travel blog and media go-to for all the latest in family travel trends.

Hi, and welcome to our Australian family travel blog!

I’m Barbara – intrepid traveller to over 30 countries around the world, crazy blogger, top Australian Instagram influencer – and last but certainly not least, proud single parent to two adventurous girls – Samantha, 15, and Brooke, 17.

I first began blogging in 2009 when I created www.SingleMum.com.au, which has since grown into the biggest single parenting website and social network in Australia, with a supporting social network of over half a million Australian followers.

Whilst my single parenting network remains a constantly demanding passion, my family travel blog Let’s go Mum is where you’ll find me most of my time.

I first started Let’s go Mum in 2014, and by 2015 the blog had already won its first high-profile award –  Top Ten finalist in the Virgin Australia & Problogger Virgin Voyager travel blogging competition.

In March 2017 we were honoured to be awarded a place in Australia’s top 50 Influencer Awards (out of 2000 overall entries!). This prestigious award was presented to us at the Grand Hyatt Awards night in Melbourne.

In 2017 and 2018 and 2019 we won back-to-back 1st place in the Australian Travel Blog Awards.

In 2019 we were named one of Australia’s ultimate Instagram influencers by Talkwalker Marketing and Communications, Singapore.

Now with hundreds of thousands of Aussie followers, the Let’s Go Mum blog is where family travel destinations and resorts around the world turn to to get noticed by Australian parents.

Together, the kids and I love to explore Australia – and the world. Both children are home schooled, which gives us the luxury of travelling outside of standard school holidays.

Any chance we get, I give in to the kids chorus of “Let’s go Mum!”, and off we go – blogging it all the way!

You can count on us to let you know if our latest flight, attraction, product or holiday destination really was family-friendly and fun! Join us as we boldly go wherever the family fun is…. (with hopefully, a little relaxation for Mum and Dad thrown in on the side!)
