Colette Burgess

Colette Burgess is a UK-based blogger and author of "We're going on an adventure," a family lifestyle and travel blog. Launched in 2012, the platform initially served as a personal chronicle of life with her three children. It has since evolved into a comprehensive resource for parents, offering practical guidance for both local family days out and more extended travel experiences. Drawing on her professional background as an experienced primary school teacher, Burgess develops content that covers a wide range of family-focused topics, including holidays, camping trips, festivals, and seasonal guides. Through "We're going on an adventure," Burgess highlights excursions primarily in the North West of England, especially around Manchester, where she has lived for most of her adult life. She offers advice and insights for local adventures, blending detailed accounts of larger family trips with observations of everyday moments and discoveries. Her work earned the "Best Pre School Blog" award at the MAD Blog Awards in 2015 and was shortlisted for "Best Schooldays Blog" in 2016. Beyond the blog, she has also appeared on BBC Breakfast television and various local BBC radio stations, further sharing her expertise with a broader audience.
