Set For Sun
Hi, I’m the founder of Set For Sun — a family-run travel company helping other families rediscover the magic of the journey.
Like many people, we once rushed through airports, juggling luggage and toddlers, racing for overpriced 3 AM flights. Then we swapped planes for trains, and everything changed:
- We watched double rainbows streak across southern France through panoramic windows.
- We spotted wild flamingos in the Camargue.
- In Valence, our youngest danced to piano notes echoing in the station—cheered on by strangers who became part of our story.
These moments are why Set For Sun exists.
What We Believe
- Travel should be easier, more affordable, and sustainable.
- Slow travel brings joy, connection & discovery—without jet-lag or carbon guilt.
- Families deserve hand-picked, kid-friendly routes, stays & activities that add meaning, not chaos.
Why We’re Crowdfunding
We’re raising £12,000 to:
- Launch our website, planning tools, and booking platform for low-carbon family trips.
- Sponsor free or low-cost train holidays for families who couldn’t otherwise travel.
- Create inspiring video & photo content.
- Hire expert support to curate rail-based itineraries.
- Offer exclusive discounts, early access, and rewards to our backers.
