It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, my name is Celine and I live in Newbridge, Co. Kildare, but grew up in the beautiful seaside village of Laytown, Co. Meath. I have worked in the travel industry for over 25 years and still thrive on the pure happiness and enjoyment a holiday can bring to my customers. I believe my job is more than recommendation and advice, but a form of therapy. Travel is extremely therapeutic – it can increase your energy levels, help you think better and clearer, and make you happy – all the ingredients of an active and healthy mind.
I have always had the travel bug and love to explore new and exciting destinations, but I do have some guilty pleasures like Florida and New York where I keep going back! I got married in Central Park, New York and I just love the city, while Florida is a place that keeps pulling me back, 9 times and counting. I’ve also visited several other North American cities from, Chicago, Boston, Washington, Miami, San Francisco, and Las Vegas to name just a few. Planning North American adventures has been a specialty of mine for over a decade. I love nothing more than combining a cruise with your American adventure and I have been fortunate to have visited over 10 Caribbean islands while on many different cruises include some of biggest and most modern cruise ships in the world. Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas, MSC Grandiosa & Seashore and Norwegian Prima & Bliss are just some of the more recent ones I had the pleasure of enjoying. I’ve been lucky to work and live in Canada for a year, travel extensively throughout Europe, while also visiting South Africa, Australia, and the middle east.
I have organised and travelled with medium to large sports groups, including several GAA teams to North America, as well as some Irish international teams.
With over 25 years’ experience in the travel business, I have gained a vast range of expertise, ranging from that North American road trip, cruising, safari’s, almost every European city, beach or ski resort, the list goes on. And more importantly is the experience of travelling with children. As a mother of 2, I know what it’s like, but can offer some useful tips and advice to make your trip less stressful and more memorable.
I take great pride in getting to know my customers and really understanding their requirements and offer a truly personalised service which is why Travel Counsellors is a natural fit for my business. With Travel Counsellors, we ensure you are always financially protected as we are licensed and bonded in Ireland with the Irish Aviation Authority, licence No TA 621.
So, if you are looking at your next family adventure, dream honeymoon, bucket list destination, group travel or just looking for a little travel therapy, give me a call.

Celine

Celine was nothing short of amazing. Our trip was not a simple there and back. We had multiple cities and hotels to organise. She made it far simpler to tailor. On top of that, it was nice to know that she had been in the hotels in question and had first-hand knowledge for comparison. I'd definitely go to her again and send people her way.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience booking our honeymoon through Celine. It is a very big holiday, a once in a lifetime experience that couples dream about. Celine's knowledge and skills directed us to the perfect location, Cancun, Mexico. A destination that has something for everyone. We had a couple of unforeseen issues while on holidays and Celine was contactable throughout. If something is to happen when abroad, be it a health issue, an airport issue, a stolen or a lost property issue, it is very rare to have someone at the other end of the line when you need them for advice etc. If we had booked through an online agency that closes their office at 5pm and at weekends we would have found ourselves in real bother. Celine was reachable for our entire holiday and helped us our considerably in any way she could and we won't forget her kindness.
Absolutely amazing service! Thank you Celine!!

Nashville, Music City!
19 May 2023
Nashville had been on my wish list for forever so when I was invited to go I was over the moon! We flew out to Nashville with British Airway, one stop via London Heathrow. Terminal 5 was a dream, easy transfer between flights. Onboard our seats were in World Traveller Plus which is their Premium Economy product. I was really impressed with the wider seats; legroom and it was great to have a s
Lights out, and away we go, with the kids!
17 June 2022
A formula one trip with the kids is not your usual sporting event to enjoy with the family, but when the kids are invested into the sport as much as the adults, it’s a perfect holiday. We surprised our kids, by driving to the airport without them knowing they were going on a plane, and off we flew into Barcelona. We stayed 40 minutes north of Barcelona in a beautiful campsite called Camping Enmar
New York City with kids

New York city never disappoints me, and it became a special destination for me and my family when I got married in Central Park in 2018. There is so much to see and do all year round in New York, but a really great time to come with kids is around thanksgiving which is the fourth Thursday in November. You have the amazing Macy’s thanksgiving parade which is a real spectacle and not to be missed.
Why Washington?

When someone asks you for a North American City break, the request normally centres around the obvious and more popular cities like New York, Boston, or Chicago. Throw in Washington and I can assure you; it won’t disappoint. My husband and I set off on a 3-night short stay on the direct Aer Lingus flight into Washington Dulles. We stayed in the wonderful “The Dupont Circle”, which is part of the D
