Tailormade Holidays with your Personal Travel Agent
Hi, I’m Jessica, an independent Travel Agent and I create tailor‑made holidays designed around you.
I specialise in cruises, long‑haul adventures, honeymoons, group travel, solo escapes and carefully curated luxury family holidays. I work with busy people who value their time and want someone to give them a stress free holiday service, from planning to booking and beyond until they are safely back at home.
Having travelled to over 22 countries (and counting), I bring first‑hand experience and honest advice to every trip I design. Some of my personal travel highlights include dancing salsa in Cuba, swimming with whale sharks and turtles in the Maldives, criss‑crossing North America on iconic road trips, haggling in the medinas of Morocco, climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, watching the cliff divers in Jamaica, drinking rum from a conch shell on an island picnic in the Bahamas, taking a helicopter tour over Dubai, driving a sports car through Rome with a police escort to the Rome Film Festival (it’s a long story!) and exploring the length and breadth of Italy while I lived there.
I take time to really listen to what you want from your holiday, not just where you want to go, but how you like to travel and what will make this particular trip special. From there, I design a trip around you: handpicked hotels, curated experiences and thoughtful touches that reflect what you love.
I'm based in Co. Roscommon but look after clients right across Ireland and further afield. I work flexibly around your schedule, so whether you prefer to chat in the evening after work or at the weekend, I will do my best to be available when it suits you, so planning your holiday feels easy and convenient.
If you're looking for a premium, tailor‑made holiday with personal service and ongoing support from your own trusted travel expert, I would love to help you plan something truly special.
Chicago: A City for All Seasons
As my eldest gets ready to jet off on her J1 summer in Chicago, I can’t help but reminisce about my own J1 days many years ago on Cape Cod. Different coast, different skyline, same sense of adventure. Hearing about her plans has reminded me just how special that first long American summer is, and how the place you choose, becomes the backdrop to memories that stay with you for life. I’m a big fan

Spooky Season Inspired Travel

It’s my favourite holiday of the year, and I’m firmly in the camp of savouring every bit of spooky season before even thinking about festive sparkle.

Solo Female Travel - Not Just for Backpackers
When you hear the phrase solo female traveller, what image comes to mind? For many, it’s a strong, adventurous woman in her 20s, backpack slung over her shoulder, off to explore remote corners of the world, staying in hostels and trekking through jungles. I confess, that’s the image I used to have too. In fact, I’m thinking of an aunt of mine, a true adventurer who once travelled with the Masai t

More Than Just Honky Tonks and Cowboys: Nashville & Fort Worth
I recently jetted off on a twin-centre escape to two of the South’s most exciting cities, Nashville, Tennessee and Fort Worth, Texas, and it was every bit as vibrant, musical and memorable as you’d hope. First stop was Nashville, where I checked into the trendy W Hotel in the Gulch neighbourhood. I had a Corner Suite, which gave me loads of space and brilliant views across the city. Great vibes, g
