About us

Hi, we’re Clare, Mark, and Joshua — the family behind Plan Family Escapes.

We’re a UK-based family who believe that travel doesn’t have to stop when you have kids — it gets better. Our son Joshua is nine years old, and we’ve been travelling with him since he was little, planning everything from family ski holidays and epic road trips to DIY itineraries and big once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Through Plan Family Escapes, we share honest family travel advice, detailed itineraries, and practical travel guides to help other families plan unforgettable trips with confidence. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for school holiday travel, planning your next family ski trip, or building your own do-it-yourself itinerary, you’ll find real-world tips based on trips we’ve actually taken.

Our goal is simple: to show you that adventurous, exciting and meaningful travel is not only possible with kids — it’s often even better!
