Hey, I’m Siobhan Patrina!
Thank you for following my journey and supporting my blog in whichever way you have.
Guess I better introduce myself! I’m Siobhan – Patrina, a Creative Writer, Children’s Author and Entrepreneur from London, U.K.
I would love to say I quit my job and travelled the world, but I’m not quite there yet. My story is a little bit different and a lot more personal, but I can tell you I’m now doing exactly what I love!
My passion for travelling started at 8 years old when my mother took my first on a holiday to Jamaica. I was in complete awe. 4 weeks away from home, on an island I knew nothing about, was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.
I cried myself to sleep upon returning to London, so my mum promised me another holiday. Thereafter, my wonderful Aunty had begun to take me on smaller trips to Cornwall, Devon and trips all across the U.K. I was completely in love. A newfound love for travelling was already born.
The Journey Begins…
At 14, I tried to organise my first ‘girlie’ trip for my 16th birthday and I got all my friends to promise they would come. Little did I know, a promise is a comfort to a fool. So before I turned 16, they all let me down (as friends sometimes do.) I pushed my dream holiday back by five years. I’m not so sure what or whom I was waiting for, but it never happened.
Leaving my friends behind, I was sure my two cousins would celebrate my 21st birthday abroad with me. They dropped out. So… I took the plunge, booked the ticket, and celebrated my 21st birthday alone in New York for one week.
It was the BEST experience of my life. I never wanted to go on another holiday with anyone ever again. My own company was exactly what I never knew I needed. I felt a great sense of pride, empowerment, and achievement for something I did alone.
Then, my passion for travelling had fuelled. At 22, I had my son, who I would have never thought would have been my travel partner. The best travel partner I could ever ask for. So my crazy, fun-filled, travel blog is a journal dedicated to all travelling parents.
With Love,
