It's Nice To Meet You
My biggest passion is travel, and it’s so amazing that I can do what I love most as my job.
My name is Ellen, born and raised in The Netherlands and now living in beautiful Ireland. After studying Tourism I worked for many years in 5-star hotels where I learned how to take care of our discerning guests in the best way possible. But travel was my passion, and I decided to make it my business too when I joined Travel Counsellors, initially in the Netherlands.
Being part of a global company meant that when I decided to move to Ireland permanently, I could continue doing what I love most and still take care of my clients in both countries. As I have grown my business here, I have had the pleasure of looking after the travel arrangements of some high-profile Irish customers both for dream honeymoons and unique holidays, and now I’m ready to do the same for you.
I’m based in Swords as a Travel Counsellor and we’ve just put down roots in Bettystown, Co. Meath. As I am not restricted to 9-5 it means we can chat about your holiday plans whenever suits you best. Most importantly for me is that the experience from start till finish is personal and special, I will try to get to know you and I’m sure I can make all your dream holidays come true.
I myself travel as much as possible, obviously because I love it, but also to be able to advise my clients even better. From safaris in South Africa and Botswana to backpacking in Southeast Asia, many road trips in the USA, relaxing in the Seychelles, discovering Caribbean islands like Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Saint Martin and Curacao. I’ve also spent lots of time on city trips and self-drives in Europe, there are so many beautiful destinations only a few hours away and of course I’ve enjoyed many summer holidays in Mallorca, The Canaries, Italy, France and many more places. And I was one of the lucky Travel Counsellors who went to Brazil to discover this amazing country. My first introduction to South America was amazing and can't wait to see many more countries in that beautiful part of the world.
In 2020 and 2021 our family got a bit bigger with the arrival of our little girl Teddy and boy Jude, so in recent years we have travelled with the kids from the start and did lots of family resorts but also long-haul holidays to Mauritius for example. So, I'm definitely an expert too when it comes to family holidays.
We got married in Greece because it is my favourite European destination, The Greek islands, mainland, island hopping, Greece has it all. Weddings abroad or honeymoons are something I love and specialise in.
In October this year I went on my first cruise ever, being invited by Virgin Voyages to experience the only "adults only" cruise line in the world. It was fabulous and when it comes to cruises there are so many options and I'm here to make sure you end up at the right ship with the right cruise company.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your travel plans. I’m here for any type of holiday, far away or nearby, a city trip or your dream honeymoon, road trip, tailor made holidays, luxurious or standard, business travel, cruises, group travel, winter and summer holidays, or getting married abroad is one of the many options I can help you with. Everything is possible and I’m here for you with personal and friendly advice. Please do not hesitate to contact me, it will be my pleasure to help you.

My Unforgettable Cruise with Virgin Voyages
My Unforgettable Mediterranean Cruise with Virgin Voyages As a Travel Counsellor, I’ve had the opportunity to explore many destinations, but my recent one-week cruise through the Mediterranean with Virgin Voyages was an experience like no other. Departing from Barcelona, our ship took us on a journey through some of the most beautiful parts of southern Europe, including the south of France, Italy

Beautiful Brazil
Brazil was on my bucket list for a long time and recently I was lucky to be able to discover three regions of this huge country in South America during a work trip. After a short stopover in Lisbon we were on our way to Rio de Janeiro! Rio airport is huge, but incredibly efficient. We were out of the airport in no time and within 30 minutes of leaving the plane on the way to the city. We arrived i

Sensational South Africa
Africa, I can say with absolute confidence that this is my number one destination of all the places I have been so far. The first time was in 2009 and I remember a friend who showed me her photo album, she had just returned from South Africa and I would leave the following month. She had lots of photos of elephants, and I thought “I have seen elephants before, it’s not that big of a deal”, how

Lovely Lanzarote
Throughout the year, Lanzarote is a great destination to stay. I enjoyed it very much and would recommend this to most people. Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands is where I go when I’m in need of warm temperatures and some nice sunshine during our winter. The Canary Islands are one of the few "close" destinations where the weather is good almost all year round. Lanzarote is a unique islan

NYC "The City That Never Sleeps"
New York, the City that never sleeps! A city that we all seem to know, whether we have been or not! It is the backdrop to many films and well-known television series, video clips and commercials. I have been in this impressive city three times in recent years and I can’t get enough of it. Often when you have seen a certain city once you will not feel like going back there soon again, but New Y

Dominican Republic
Last March at our annual a Travel Counsellors conference I won my very first TC award for ‘Best Marketing’. I was very excited and honoured. With this, I was lucky to be invited to go on a “winners trip” to the Dominican Republic! What a gorgeous destination to discover. We flew to Punta Cana and we transferred to a gorgeous resort, with beautiful gardens, white powdered sand beaches, amazin

Stunning Seychelles
Everyone has a paradise island on their "bucket list", an ultimate dream destination. This is often a romantic tropical island with white beaches, palm trees, clear blue sky and the sea in that beautiful turquoise blue color. I too wanted to experience a paradise destination like this, so I chose the Seychelles. With Etihad, one of the top companies from the Middle East, I flew via Abu Dhabi

Jamaica
Jamaica - beautiful beaches, palm trees and lovely reggae music made famous by Bob Marley. These are the first things many think about when you say Jamaica. Late last year I was personally invited by the Jamaican Tourism Board to go on an educational trip to Jamaica, an offer I could not say no to! It is early October when we fly to Montego Bay, arriving late in the evening we met our local

Charming Curaçao
Curaçao is a popular holiday destination among a lot of people. Since it is such a popular destination I decided to go travel there for my own holiday. I wanted a relaxing weeks holiday with nice beaches, good choice of restaurants but also with fun activities to do. Curaçao ticks all those boxes. On arrival we picked up our rental car and tried to find our resort without navigation. Very ol
