Your Next Journey Begins Here

Hi, I’m Katrina, and I’ve been working in the travel industry for over 28 years. With nearly three decades of experience and extensive personal travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and careful attention to every holiday I plan.

I specialise in long-haul, multi-centre, cruises and more complex itineraries, along with special occasion travel including honeymoons and milestone trips. I also have a strong focus on cruise holidays, helping you find the right experience at sea. Every trip I design is completely tailored, built around what matters most to you.

Vietnam is a real favourite of mine, with so much to offer in terms of culture, scenery and experience. I’ve also been lucky to enjoy some incredible moments on my travels - from hot air ballooning in Cappadocia and Marrakesh to visiting the Maldives a couple of times for true relaxation. These experiences allow me to guide you with confidence when planning your own trip.

I’ll be your point of contact from our very first conversation right through to the day you arrive home in Ireland, so you always have someone on hand who knows your plans inside out.

Over the years, I’ve been honoured with awards including Best ITAA Leisure Travel Professional, Best ITAA Overall Travel Professional, and the Travel Counsellors NPS Customer Award for Highest Customer Satisfaction, reflecting the level of care and service I provide.

For a look at my recent travels and ideas for your next holiday, you can visit my Instagram highlights: @katrina_travel_counsellor

I look forward to helping you plan your next trip.

Discovering Hanoi

My recent trip to Hanoi for the Travel Counsellors Gold Conference was actually my second time in Vietnam and it reminded me exactly why this country is right up there as one of my favourites.

California Dreaming: An Epic Road Trip from San Francisco to San Diego

California Dreaming: An Epic Road Trip from San Francisco to San Diego

Last month I was thrilled to be invited on an incredible California road trip with Visit California. Our journey captured the very essence of the Golden State: from windswept coastlines to golden countryside, vibrant cities to tranquil national parks, and from sun-soaked beaches to magical snowy mountains. This is California at its most diverse, and every mile brought a new highlight.

Marrakesh Moments: From Bustling Souks to Sunrise Skies

Marrakesh Moments: From Bustling Souks to Sunrise Skies

Aer Lingus recently launched a new direct route from Dublin to Marrakesh, and with a flight time of just under 3.5 hours, it’s an ideal destination for some winter sun. I was lucky enough to spend a few days exploring this vibrant, colourful city and what an adventure it was. I based myself at the Sofitel Marrakesh Palais Impérial & Spa, a luxury property within easy walking distance of the Medin

There are work trips… and then there are Maldives work trips. I was lucky enough to spend a week exploring all five Sun Siyam island resorts, and wow - every island had its own special charm First stop: Sun Siyam Olhuveli, just a 45-minute speedboat ride from Malé. We were welcomed with traditional Maldivian music and big smiles. I stayed in a Grand Beach Suite with Pool, perfect for families (sl

A Taste of the Rhine with Travelmarvel – A Relaxed River Cruise Experience

I recently spent two nights aboard a Travelmarvel river cruise, sailing from Amsterdam to Cologne. It was a lovely, easy-going break that I think offers brilliant value for money. I'll share an overview of what they’re all about and what you can expect. Travelmarvel is part of the well-known APT Travel Group. While APT offers luxury 5-star river cruises in Europe, Travelmarvel is their more relax

Sri Lanka Express Tour

On my flight to Sri Lanka, I learned that it had just been ranked by Lonely Planet as 'Top Country to visit in 2019' so I was keen for my adventure to begin to find out why. Surprisingly, my highlights began even before I hit Sri Lankan soil. Our flight was scheduled to land in the Maldives and as we were coming in to land, we were treated to the most spectacular view of the islands, you could eve

My Vietnam Experience

My Vietnam Experience

To give some perspective, Vietnam is roughly the same size as Italy or California and has a population of 95 million (the population of scooters is 45 million!). And mountainous regions make up approx. 70% of the country. Pretty incredible statistics if you ask me! I can’t claim to have seen the mountains but I’m fairly sure I got to see most of the scooters. The traffic, particularly in Hanoi an

Getting the most out of New York...

Getting the most out of New York...

I’ve been lucky enough to visit New York on a few occasions and each time I discover something new! A trip to the Big Apple will always be packed with sightseeing so my number one advice to make the most of your trip is to get a New York Explorer Pass. With the pass you gain admission to your choice of either 3, 5 or 7 attractions from a selection of over 50 of the top city attractions. As well as

The Land of Fire and Ice

The Land of Fire and Ice

In recent years, Iceland seems to have topped a lot of customers bucket list. With a regular direct flight from Dublin, it has made this unique country very accessible for a popular 3 or 4-night break. And with a flight time of around 2 hours, you’ll barely get to watch the end of a movie! I travelled on a 3-night package in October inclusive of all the main tours taking the hassle out of organis

Compact Copenhagen

Compact Copenhagen

The landing in Copenhagen is similar to lots of experiences we’ve all had where the aircraft wheels are down as we barely skim over the water, with land making a sudden last-minute appearance. But the airport location gives you a great opportunity to see the city from above as you come into land. (if you’re sitting on the right hand side of the aircraft!) Here are some of my top tips for visiting

Short Break to Valencia

Short Break to Valencia

Despite being the third largest city in Spain, Valencia wouldn’t generally appear at the forefront of your mind for a short break to the sun. However, having recently been on a city break to Lisbon and Barcelona, the combination of city and beach was what first attracted me to Valencia as the perfect destination for a Mid-September getaway. After researching accommodation options, the choice of h

Katrina McMullan of Travel Counsellors was an exceptional travel agent who truly went above and beyond to craft the perfect 2.5-week Cuban adventure for us. As a couple in our 30s, we wanted a mix of adventure and relaxation, and Katrina delivered exactly that. From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. She curated an exciting itinerary, combining cultural explorations, outdoor adventures, and time to unwind. The highlights included touring Havana, hiking in Trinidad, and discovering hidden gems around the island. The all-inclusive resort at the end was the perfect way to wind down after our action-packed journey. Katrina's attention to detail was evident in every aspect—from arranging transportation to recommending local experiences that felt authentic and unique. Thanks to her planning, we had an unforgettable trip and felt completely cared for throughout. Highly recommend Katrina for anyone looking for a personalised, hassle-free holiday!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Katrina for our travel plans to Florida and New York City for Summer 2024. From the very beginning, Katrina was incredibly attentive and responsive to all our needs and queries. She took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and provided a good range of options that perfectly matched our budget. Our trip happened during the recent industrial action taken by the Aer Lingus pilots. As we were flying with Aer Lingus we had concerns regarding our flight bookings. At this time Katrina was always available at the drop of a hat to answer questions, provide support and put us at ease. I highly recommend Katrina to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable travel agent. She goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are looked after and have an unforgettable travel experience. Many thanks Katrina, we can't wait to make our next booking with you.
