A family passionate about helping other families travel smarter, safer, and with less stress. From caravan trips across Australia to overseas adventures, we share the tips, hacks, and products we’ve tried and loved along the way.
Hi, I’m Tonia, and together with my husband Jayden and our daughter Hailey, we’re the family behind More To Life. I handle all the video editing, photos, and website updates, while Jayden often helps behind the camera when he’s not running his plumbing business.
Our little Hailey, who’s just turned four, is the heart of our adventures — a bubbly, confident little explorer who reminds us every day why family travel matters. Seeing how travel has shaped her confidence and curiosity inspires us to share this lifestyle with other families.
We started our more to life after our first trip up the east coast of QLD, and changed our page from posting about our trips to about tips and tricks after learning how little information there was for parents travelling with young kids, from what you can pack to how to get through airports smoothly.
What began as a small blog to share our tips soon grew into a business built around helping families travel smarter and safer.
Today, we share the products, hacks, and tools we personally use — and are developing our own range to make travel even easier for families everywhere.
My passion for family travel truly began after becoming a mum during COVID. Having a newborn in such an isolating time was incredibly challenging — we felt trapped within four walls, disconnected, and unsure of what life would look like.
When we finally set off on our first caravan trip along Australia’s east coast in 2022, everything changed. Travel opened doors we didn’t know were closed and brought so much joy, confidence, and togetherness back into our lives.
That experience showed us how powerful travel can be for families, and we want others to feel that same happiness too.
At More To Life, our mission is simple: to help families travel with confidence, connection, and calm. We want parents to feel prepared and supported, so every trip can be filled with memories, not stress.
Because we believe every family deserves the courage to explore.

I used to be incredibly shy and introverted – now I talk to families all over the world about travelling!
Jayden’s the calm, steady hand behind the camera (and sometimes behind the wheel!). When he’s not running his plumbing business, he’s helping capture our adventures and supporting everything that keeps More To Life moving.
I joke that he’s loved plumbing since the day he was born – not really, but he truly loves what he does and takes pride in every job, whether it’s pipes or planning a trip, But he does love to travel with us and help me where i need it.
Hailey is our four-year-old bundle of confidence and curiosity. She’s the reason we started More To Life and the heart behind everything we share. Watching the world through her eyes reminds us why travelling young matters – it builds confidence, wonder, and connection that last a lifetime.
Hailey will make friends with anyone, anywhere – especially if there’s ice cream involved!
We get asked these questions often — and we love sharing the story behind why we do what we do.
Everything we share comes from real experience, not guesswork. We’re a family who’s spent years travelling, learning first-hand what actually works for families and what doesn’t.
We’ve taken more than 20 caravan trips across Australia, along with camping getaways and seven overseas adventures to destinations like Bali, Vanuatu, Vietnam, and the Philippines. We’ve stayed in tiny homes, hotels, Airbnbs, and resorts, each trip has taught us something new about family travel.
Yes! Every tip, product, and recommendation we share has been tried and tested by us on the road. We only feature things we genuinely love and find useful, if it doesn’t meet our expectations, it doesn’t make the cut.
Hearing from families who say our guides, discounts, and honest reviews have helped them travel more confidently is what keeps us going. At More To Life, trust and authenticity are at the heart of everything we do.
We focus on realistic, practical travel for real families, not picture-perfect moments. Our goal is to make travel feel achievable and enjoyable, even with kids in tow. Everything we share is honest, helpful, and based on real experience, not sponsored fluff.
Our content is for families who love exploring, whether that means a weekend caravan trip, an overseas holiday, or simply finding new ways to make travel smoother. If you’re a parent who values honesty, practical tips, and a sense of adventure, you’ll feel right at home here.
