About

Welcome to Tidal Travel – the go-to travel blog for real families chasing big adventures. Whether you’re planning your dream bucket list trip half way across the world, or keeping it local – like a trip to Edinburgh Zoo.

We’re a Scottish family of five who love to travel whenever possible. Our goal is to provide useful travel advice for average families. We want to ‘keep it real’, so you’ll have realistic travel expectations for family travel and pursuing your bucket list adventures.

👋 Hi, I’m Emma!
Mum of three, blogger, traveller, occasional artist, and educator. We’re a UK-based family of five who loves to explore when we can – from long-haul flights with toddlers to local gems.

“Whenever I travel I collect… memories, photos, prints, journal notes, travel tips, mementos, new friends and inspiration for further adventures! This website brings together some of my collection.”

Let’s stay in touch! Follow us for travel ideas and updates:
