SPECIALTIES:
I specialize in individual and group travel in Ireland/UK and Europe, especially Italy. I assist solo travelers, couples, multi-generational families & affinity groups. As a native Irish person, I have a deep knowledge of Ireland and absolutely love to introduce clients to my homeland, as well as Europe, and make it a very special trip for them. I also love planning River cruises, Golfing vacations, and luxury travel for the ultimate experience.
Travel Highlights
I’m a Dublin native with a passion for travel that was sparked in the breathtaking setting of Kylemore Abbey, Connemara. After graduating from Trinity College Dublin, my first job was welcoming tourists to this iconic Irish landmark, and I’ve been in love with the travel industry ever since.
My journey has taken me through Ireland’s prestigious hotel industry and across the United States on sales trips. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting wonderful clients while escorting tours throughout my homeland. It was on one of these incentive trips that I met my future husband, leading to my move to the USA in 1998.
Nothing brings me more joy than getting to know my clients, whether over the phone or in person. I love learning about what matters most to them and hearing about their travel wish lists. I believe that every person is unique, and their travel experiences should reflect that individuality. My ultimate goal is not only to plan and execute the trip of your dreams but also to suggest experiences that add unexpected value to your journey.
While I’m an expert in all things Irish, my specialties extend to the UK and Europe. Italy holds a special place in my heart, and I’m constantly exploring its wonders. Whether you’re interested in solo adventures, family getaways, group travel, river cruising, golf retreats, historical explorations, wine tastings, art tours, or any other special interest, I’d be honored to help you plan your next travel adventure!
Let’s work together to create a journey that’s as unique as you are. Your dream vacation awaits!
Travel Tip: Always be prepared for the unexpected – it can sometimes be the best part of your journey! If not, you have learned something along the way.
Hobbies: Walking my two rescue Beagles, hiking, attempting to play golf, exploring new restaurants and theatre events.
