the fren family travel guides

Fren Family

The Frens are a quirky and loveable family from Newcastle, known for their loud and no-filter personalities. While Mark and Cathy are both primary school teachers, Jono and Vic work in hospitality. The family bond over food, especially buffets and fried food.

The Frens are not too fond of exotic food or roughing it, but they do enjoy luxury holidays at a bargain price and adrenalin activities that don't require too much exertion.

Jono marriage to wife Danielle, and Victoria's recent marriage to long time partner, Nathan, hasn't stopped the four Frens spending plenty of time together and their love of their hometown of Newcastle is apparent in their comparisons of everything to the city. Mark loves to shock the kids with inappropriate innuendos, and the whole family delights in taking the mickey out of each other.

Despite their cultural cluelessness and language mangling, the Frens are a self-deprecating family who love to do absolutely nothing... together.

The accident that led to the Fren Family being cast on Travel Guides

Newcastle Travel Guides the Fren family have had Australia in stitches since they started on the Nine network show in 2017.

But mum and daughter Cathy and Victoria Fren told   Vacations & Travel   their appearance on the reality TV show was a total accident.

They never even applied.

The Fren family, Mark (59) and Cathy (57), and their two kids Jonathon (29) and Victoria (27) owned and operated Bavarian-style restaurant Oma together for ten years.

“Because of the restaurant they actually asked Mum to audition for a cooking show,” Victoria said.

“We didn’t get on that, I don’t even think the show ever aired.”

“But 12 months later we got a call asking about a show called Travel Guides and now here we are.”

The Fren Family matriarchs, Victoria and Cathy are well-known for being upfront. Jonathon and Mark are a bit more reserved.

But Victoria says the boys were “super keen” when Cathy pitched the Travel Guides plan to her clan.

“I mean who doesn’t love a free holiday,” Victoria said.

The Fren family have been on 38 “free holidays” to be exact. They’ve been lucky enough to travel to the most spectacular international and domestic destinations.

• Why Stack and Mel almost missed out on the show

The Fren family on Travel Guides 2021

The Travel Guides 2021 season sees the Fren family jet Greece, South Korea, Mauritius and Cambodia.

Cathy doesn’t want anyone getting the wrong idea: “Obviously all the overseas destinations were filmed before the pandemic”.

“We started filming this season in July of 2019 and we finished somewhere around mid November that year.”

Of all the international destinations that feature on Travel Guides 2021, Cathy and Victoria say that “Hands down, Greece was our favourite.”

“Mykonos was party central,” Cathy said.

Victoria disagrees, taking a dig at her mum.

“No, Mum and Dad went home early, I stayed and partied way on into the morning,” she said.

It clearly hits the spot.

“What are you talking about? We have a great relationship,” jokes Cathy.

Funny Frens

It’s clear that a great sense of humour is what keeps the Fren family so tight-knit.

They never take themselves too seriously.

“There isn’t a week if not a day that goes by where we don’t laugh about something that we’ve done,” Cathy told Vacations & Travel.

Of all the unpredictable situations the mother-daughter duo have found themselves in, they say that their ‘Mermaid Makeover’ is one they still can’t stop cracking up over.

Even though the Fren family are always up for a laugh they say that this season of Travel Guides was especially eye-opening for them.

“We got to go to Cambodia and that was a real culture shock for us because it’s a developing country. We got to see a lot of sadness there but it was really special to be able to do something like that,” Victoria said.

Brutally honest

Although they’re always grateful to journey abroad, the Fren family take their job as travel critics very seriously.

“We always tell the truth, because we know that there are so many people out there who actually go and do the same holiday we do,” Cathy said

“If we say we like something that we didn’t and then someone goes to that destination they’ll know we were lying.”

So many Australians relate to the larrikin family. But Cathy says she was initially surprised to hear that her family was the norm.

“When I brought my family on the show, I thought we were all crazy. But after being on the show so many people told us that we’re normal. I actually can’t believe it.”

How Travel Guides’ Fren family became fan-favourites by being ‘exactly how we are’

If there’s one thing we know about the Fren family from watching them on  Travel Guides , it’s that they know how to have a good time.

WATCH BELOW: Travel Guides: The Fren family visit a farm

Often finding themselves in unpredictable situations due to their ‘have-a-go’ nature, the Frens always find the funny side of any holiday disaster.

It’s something that has proven to be quite handy during their travels on the Channel Nine reality show, where they act as travel critics on a week-long holiday.

Ever since they first graced our screens in 2017, the Frens – Mark, Cathy, Jono and Victoria – have been providing us with laughs, and the show wouldn’t be the same without them.

Get to know more about the family here.

With their good-natured bickering and silly antics, the Frens have found the perfect balance to make their family work.

Mark keeps things upbeat and is a forthright dad, and is the other half to his wife Cathy, who has a quirky sense of humour and distinctive laugh that’s very contagious.

The couple have been married for more than 30 years and share two kids together, Victoria and Jonathon.

While Victoria is always ready to voice an opinion, Jonathon is a little more on the reserved side out of the bunch – offering a good mix within the family.

Although, while it seems like the show is the perfect fit for the family, Mark and Cathy were originally approached by Channel 9 to audition for something completely different – a cooking series called The Hotplate .

The show was never renewed for a second season, and the Frens family found themselves with spots on the  Travel Guides cast, where they say what you see is what you get.

“Something that we said straight off was that we’re portrayed exactly how we are. And all the people in the show, how they act, and how Channel 9 portrays them is exactly how they act,” Cathy told In Touch magazine.

“And that’s what we like. We’re ourselves. Halfway through the first series, I said to a producer, ‘How are we going? Are we alright?’ And he went, ‘Oh, you’re hilarious.’ And I said, ‘Well, I didn’t even know it was supposed to be a humorous show.’ We were just ourselves, so that’s just the way it went.”

While we’re used to seeing the Frens as just a family of four, the tight-knit clan expanded when Jono wed his partner of two years, Danielle Clark, on June 5 this year.

“They’re a great match,” his mum Cathy told Woman’s Day .  “They really complement each other. They’re madly in love and they’re really caring towards each other.”

His dad Mark also said that they were “so proud” of both the bride and groom, and Victoria added that Danielle has brought her older 
brother out of his shell.

“Individually they’re both quiet people, but when they’re out and about together they’re the total opposite – they’re really outgoing and keen to party,” she said.

The Fren family could also see another exciting addition now that the pair are married, with Danielle, who’s since changed her last name to Fren, and Jono having confirmed their readiness to be parents.

“Definitely!” he told the magazine. “A whole new Fren family!”

His family are certainly already keen, with Victoria having said: “I think a baby will be within the next few months. A few months… plus nine!”

Mark also added: “We’ve already worked out our grandparent names!”

EXCLUSIVE: Travel Guides’ Jono Fren reveals his fairytale wedding to his long-time partner Danielle Clark – with a surprise reality star MC

Travel Guides’ resident funny family the Frens are famous for giving fans a chuckle with their kooky antics and good-natured bickering on the hit Nine series.

And the reality stars – Mark, Cathy, Jono and Victoria – stayed true to form as they came together to witness Jono, 30, wed his partner of two years, Danielle Clark, also 30, 
in the picturesque NSW Hunter Valley region on June 5.

The romantic afternoon ceremony at the rustic Calvin Estate in Luskintyre kicked off with a flurry of confetti, as the couple’s “flower man” –their mutual friend BJ – made his way down the aisle to the sounds of AC/DC’s TNT and raucous laughter from the couple’s 110 guests.

This also included the Frens’ Travel Guides co-stars Matt and Brett , Kev, Dorian and Teng, Kevin and Janetta, and Mel and Stack.

The couple were overjoyed to tie the knot!

It wasn’t the only surprise in store for wedding-goers.

The bride and groom also roped in former Married At First Sight and I’m 
A Celebrity … star Ryan Gallagher, 33, to be their MC for the night.

“Jono’s met him over the years at various events and [Ryan] just said, ‘Have you organised an MC? If you haven’t, I’d be more than happy to do it,'” Danielle, a pharmacy retail manager, tells Woman’s Day.

What didn’t come as a shock was the fact that Jonathan found his happily ever after with Danielle, who he met on dating app Tinder in 2019 and popped the question just seven months later!

“They’re a great match,” says his mum Cathy, 57.

“They really complement each other. They’re madly in love and they’re really caring towards each other.”

star Ryan

And the father of the groom agrees. “She brings out really good qualities in him,” dad Mark, 59, tells.

“We’re so proud of him, we’re so proud of her.”

Little sister Victoria, 28, agrees that Danielle has brought her introverted 
brother out of his shell.

“Individually they’re both quiet people, but when they’re out and about together they’re the total opposite – they’re really outgoing and keen to party,” she says.

And the lovebirds were certainly eager to show off their first dance to This I Promise You by Ronan Keating in the fairy light-studded wine barrel storage hall, decked out with roses and gum leaves by Heather Davy Florist, a champagne wall and a sparkling chandelier by Opulent Events.

Sister Victoria, dad Mark and mum Cathy couldn’t be happier for Jono

But the real show stopper 
was the couple’s three-tier wedding cake by Bec’s Custom Creations, with lemon, caramel and white chocolate layers.

The sweetest moment of 
the day for the groom, though,”was seeing Danielle for the first time”.

Jono tells Woman’s Day , “It’s the best feeling marrying my best friend and someone I want to spend forever with. I am extremely lucky to have made my first ever girlfriend my wife.”

“Jono’s a true gentleman. He’s just amazing,” says Danielle.

The Travel Guides crew partied with the bride 
and groom!

But while Jono’s keen to keep his new bride by his side – and she’s changing her last name to Fren – don’t expect Danielle to appear on upcoming seasons of Travel Guides.

“I don’t like the limelight. I wouldn’t want to be on TV,” she says. “I’ll just carry bags in the background or something!”

However, Jono’s family suspect the pair will have another project on the way soon… “I think a baby will be within the next few months,” says Victoria. “A few months… plus nine!” Adds an excited Mark, “We’ve already worked out our grandparent names!”

And Jono confirms he’s more than ready for fatherhood.

“Definitely!” he says. “A whole new Fren family!”

The Travel Guides Cast: Everything About Salary and Living Conditions

The Travel Guides is a popular Australian reality TV series. It first aired in 2017 and was met with positive feedback from viewers. Australians were eager to watch a different type of reality TV series. They found this show to be a refreshing change from the regular selection of reality TV programs.

This series follows groups of travellers from Australia. All of the travellers are ordinary Australians, but each group is different from the next. Their job is to review the accommodations, cuisine, and tourist attractions.

However, this isn’t your ordinary travel series. The contestants on this show are put in unpredictable situations. It’s part of what makes this show unpredictable and humorous. Each group of travellers will have a different take on the situations at hand.

What Does the Cast Do on Travel Guides?

The cast of this hit reality series gets to go on exclusive vacations around the world. While they travel, they will experience different activities, try dishes custom to other cultures, and stay at local hotels and resorts. In exchange for this, they will leave brutally honest reviews.

In each episode of the series, the travellers will go on a week-long vacation (all expenses paid). The groups each consist of family members or close friends. They will leave their comfortable nest in Australia and venture to big cities worldwide.

Viewers are introduced to new groups of travellers each season, and some fan favourites have returned to the show. One of the most popular groups on the show is the Fren family, who has appeared in all five seasons.

These groups have gotten to travel to places all over the world. Some of the places they’ve visited include:

• Tokyo, Japan
• Perth, Australia
• Argentina & more

Does the Cast of Travel Guides Get Paid?

It hasn’t been released to the public how much the castmates of Travel Guides get paid. However, the Fren family had openly commented on how the show saved them when they were experiencing financial hardship with the restaurant they own.

Many reality TV shows made in Australia will provide contestants with weekly pay while filming. Travel Guides is a different scenario. Ordinary Australians get to travel to tourist destinations in Australia and internationally for free. All fees are covered, including accommodations, transportation, meals, shopping, and other activities they participate in. Since everything is free for travellers, they don’t have to worry about any expenses.

Whether or not the contestants get paid per episode and how much they earn hasn’t been revealed. Each group of family and friends do have the job of leaving a red hot honest review. Even if they don’t get paid, the free travelling and TV exposure are worth it.

A lot of Australian reality TV contestants are able to earn money because of the exposure they have gotten. Once the TV series airs, fans of the show begin following the castmates on social media and subscribing to their content. Well-known castmates have been able to use their exposure to get further opportunities, such as appearances on other TV series. It’s also common for them to get paid endorsement deals where brands pay them to post content on Instagram and other social media platforms.

Another way that these contestants use their exposure to earn money is through paid online gigs, like Cameo and similar platforms. This is when they record personal messages for fans for a cost. The more popular a castmate is, the more they can charge for a video. It’s also common for castmates to use paid subscription platforms, like Patreon and OnlyFans, to earn an income. Also, a lot of contestants may like to relax by gambling and choose a new Australian online casino .

What Are the Living Conditions Like on Travel Guides?

Every country these travellers visit will have different accommodations. The accommodations will be based on the culture of the country they visit. This is why the reviews from the Fren family, cowgirl twins, and other favourite castmates are always red hot.

For the most part, they get to experience good quality living conditions. However, since the accommodations are often different from what they are used to, it leads to some hilarious reviews. This is one of the main reasons why this reality TV series has been such a hit with Australians and other viewers around the world.

Every episode is a different experience for the castmates and the viewers. Travellers could be enjoying the lux life on a cruise, visiting a casino in the city, or going on an off-road adventure. They must be up for anything to get the full travel experience.

Will Travel Guides Return for Season 6?

Do you want to see the Fren family and other fan favourites back on your TV screen? Currently, there is no word on when season 6 will be released. This is because the 6th season hasn’t been renewed yet.

Fans of this beloved reality TV show shouldn’t have reason to worry about the series’ fate. It has been confirmed that the series hasn’t been cancelled and is just on a break.

Does the idea of temporarily leaving your job and travelling the world for free sound like a dream? That’s exactly what the castmates of this popular reality TV series get to experience. While there currently isn’t any information released on what contestants earn from filming the series, the experience they get is well worth it.
