I am passionate about travel and bringing dream holidays to life. Travel for me is about making memories that will stay with you forever and the world has so many amazing destinations to explore.
In today's busy world, it is now more important than ever to have a professional looking after you. I help take the stress away with research and planning of your holidays and give you peace of mind knowing there is always someone to call if you need help while you are travelling.
Travel Counsellors are a global company that are licensed and bonded in Ireland with the Irish Aviation Authority which means your money is safe. I am proud to be a part of the Travel Counsellors community for the past 10 years.
I personally love to travel and have been lucky enough to visit many wonderful destinations around the world. I love a luxury hotel and my favourite in the world is the Wynn Resort Las Vegas. In recent years, my travel has become more family orientated with the addition of my 2 children, so I have personal experience travelling with small kids and can offer advice on family friendly destinations and resorts. Our most recent holiday was to Pine Cliffs Resort in the Algarve, perfect for families looking for quiet luxury
My favourite type of holiday is a cruise, I love the luxury of a cruise ship and waking up somewhere new each morning, it is a fabulous holiday for any age. Last year 3 generations of my family enjoyed a Caribbean cruise from Orlando on Utopia of the Seas with Royal Caribbean, we all had an amazing time and cruising is fantastic for multi generation family holidays.
My favourite place to visit is the USA, I visit somewhere in the USA each year and I have been travelling to Orlando and Florida for the past 20 years with my family and I love to help clients plan their own holidays to Orlando and the USA.
I specialise in worldwide Cruise holidays, honeymoons and tailormade premium travel and I would be delighted to help you, please either call or send through an email and we will set up an appointment to discuss your plans.
I sincerely look forward to dealing with you and welcome all types of enquiries.

Your honeymoon isn’t just another holiday—it’s the trip of a lifetime, marking the beginning of your greatest adventure together. Whether you're dreaming of overwater bungalows in the Maldives, a wine-filled escape in Tuscany, or a cultural deep-dive in Japan, your honeymoon should be as unique as your love story. As a honeymoon specialist, I know what it takes to turn dream itineraries into unfo

I have been traveling with my children since they were infants, and I wanted to share with you some things that work well for us. Traveling with young kids can be stressful but these tips might come in handy for your upcoming trip. Dress code Comfortable bright clothing for the airport travel days.

In January 2024, I was lucky to be one of the first guests to experience the newly refurbished Disneyland Hotel. The hotel had been closed for refurbishment for years and when I had seen the reopening date announced I quickly booked a trip. Since my first ever trip to Disneyland Paris at the age of 12 it was an ambition of mine to stay in this hotel one day and I was so so excited to be able to

I always wanted to visit Miami so when I booked a Caribbean cruise I decided to spend a couple of nights before the cruise checking out this amazing city. I stayed in the South Beach area which was the perfect location for a few days in Miami. My hotel in South Beach was across the street from the beach, the location was perfect, and I loved relaxing on Miami's famous beach. I never realis

I took a quick trip to Athens on my way to Santorini in October. I enjoyed a lovely two nights stay in the Royal Olympic Hotel. I went for my 30th Birthday and the hotel were kind enough to upgrade us to a panoramic suite with balcony overlooking the Temple of Zeus and views of the Acropolis. This hotel was perfect for our stay, we were a short walk from the Acropolis, the tour bus stopped a

Never have I ever been somewhere as picture perfect as Santorini. It had been a destination that was top on my bucket list for a long time and I decided to celebrate my 30th birthday in style. We enjoyed a quick stay in Athens before flying to Santorini, it was a 35-minute flight time from Athens. I stayed in the Petite Palace Suites Hotel and “oh my God” the views of the bay from this hotel

I was invited by Sunway to experience their hotels in Morocco. Morocco is such a beautiful country bursting with culture. I spent a week experiencing Agadir, Taghazout and Marrakesh. While Marrakesh and Agadir are very popular and well known holiday destinations, Paradis Plage is a stand-alone spa retreat which was one of the main highlights of my entire trip. Located 30kms from Agadir, you

Just a 4-hour flight from Dublin will land you in Agadir Airport Morocco.

California Dreaming is the perfect catchphrase! After visiting California, I have been dreaming about it ever since. It is hard to put into words the impact a trip to California will have on you. I have never experienced anywhere like it. Beaches, Mountains, Wineries and Desert, the landscape, the atmosphere, the easy living feeling and that cool retro vibe - there is just no place quite like it

This was my first trip to the Christmas Markets in Europe and so I decided Prague would be the chosen city!

A Day in LA Where better to spend a day than in Tinseltown. LA is such an exciting city and although it’s one of the worlds biggest, you can visit the best and most famous sights of LA in a day. Visiting LA was the first part of my Californian road trip, I stayed in Redondo Beach for 2 nights and because of a flight delay I had only a day to spare to see the best of LA and it did not disapp

One of the Natural Wonders of the World, The Grand Canyon was on my to do list on my most recent trip to Las Vegas. I have been to Las Vegas twice before and I wasn’t letting a third time pass without seeing this sight for myself.

I travel to Orlando every year with my family and we all love the Universal Resort Theme Parks. On our last visit, it was our first time to experience the newest addition to the Harry Potter Attraction: Diagon Alley.

All my preconceived notions of cruising were proved wrong when I experienced my debut cruise with Royal Caribbean’s Ovation of the Seas. The words Wow and amazing we used quite a lot throughout my time on board, the ship is simply stunning. Many people have the idea that a cruise is only for older people, it feels too confined and uncomfortable and there is too much moving from place to place
