About

Hello I’m Elle, a photography and travel obsessed Mum of two based in Staffordshire with my husband Eddy & two daughters Eva & Roma.

Elle Steer is my small way to document this ordinary yet wonderful life and travels with a mix of romaticising life and the brutal honesty we all need.

I fell in love with travel later in life than most, no gap year here, whilst already having children we learnt together to enjoy family travel our way. I love to share and help others navigate travel with children around the corporate 9-5, off the beaten track, enjoy culture and the outdoors in an attainable and transparent way.

Essentially we travel in a way that is great with children and is family friendly, but not child centric. We love a road trip, a cool glamping pod or independent accommodation, talking to locals, that hidden gem of a restaurant and anything in the great outdoors.

As a sentimental type I love to write. To remember the moments not just the photos and the funny stories but the tiny things that seem so very big at the time yet pale into insignificance as the years pass by. Hopefully to bottle up some of the emotions that go along with each stage of this wonderful journey.

Here I focus on destination travel guides, itineraries, honest reviews, exploring the beauty that is the UK with the Peak District and UK beaches featuring heavily, real life total costs, mixed in with parenting and honest motherhood so you can do the same.

I also LOVE a really good coffee (decaf for me please) and can sniff out a decent one almost everywhere we go.

So that’s us. Our journey, sometimes exciting, sometimes ordinary – always ours xx
