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 travelled early December from Saturday to Monday spending 2 full days in this beautiful city. We arrived on Saturday to our beautiful hotel Boscolo, a 5* Autograph collection hotel with the most relaxing pool and spa. This hotel was fab, very elegant design and rooms were comfortable

A Day in L.A.

23 December 2016

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

California Dreaming Part 2

23 December 2016

California Dreaming part 2 Yosemite National Park was on my list of places to visit as part of my California road trip. There are so many stunning sights to see and lots of hiking trails in this park. We arrived in our hotel at 9pm after driving all day from Los Angeles! We drove along the Pacific Coast Highway to Morro Bay and headed east towards Oakhurst which is a good base for visiting

Grand Canyon Skywalk

18 December 2016

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. Many visitors to Las Vegas choose to take a helicopter tour but my family and I decided to drive and hired a car. We headed for the West Rim Skywalk which is a 2-hou

New York City & The Hamptons

27 April 2016

It was my sisters 21st birthday and I had planned a surprise trip to the Big Apple for her and my family. 3 days in New York City and 2 days in The Hamptons before heading to Orlando for a week, was a really good 21st Birthday trip! We arrived into JFK Airport where we were met by our driver for our private transfer to the Distrikt Hotel in Manhattan. One hour later, we checked into our lovely ho

Wizarding World of Harry Potter Universal Resort Orlando

27 April 2016

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. It is always best to get to the parks just as they open to avoid long queues and from the minute you enter Universal, ‘fun’ is the feeling of the day every day. The Wizarding W

Cancun Honeymoon

27 April 2016

I spent my honeymoon in the most luxurious hotel I have ever stayed in, Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun. I cannot recommend a visit to this Secrets Resort enough. The hospitality is the best I have ever experienced and these resorts are the perfect choice for a special occasion or a relaxing romantic getaway. We flew via London to Cancun which was a 9 hour flight. When we landed in Cancun

Las Vegas

27 April 2016

January 2015 brought me to Las Vegas. I had visited Las Vegas on my honeymoon and we were itching to get back. Las Vegas really does live up to every bit of hype but no words can describe how fun and brilliant this town really is. You just have to see it for yourself. Vegas has absolutely everything! Along with the most popular and obvious choice of gambling, you have so much more to enjoy on y

Royal Caribbean Cruise on Ovation of the Seas

27 April 2016

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

Charming Krakow

27 April 2016

In March 2016 I enjoyed a wonderful short break in the charming city of Krakow with my Mam, Dad and sister. Our hotel was the Radisson Blu. We checked in and were so pleased with our rooms; nice, spacious, modern rooms with very comfortable beds and a lovely view overlooking the park across from the hotel. We had a lovely meal in the hotel restaurant and throughout our stay we enjoyed the hotel

A weekend in Paris

27 April 2016

Paris is my favourite City! Only a 2 hour plane journey away, we don’t take advantage and visit it enough. I decided last year to take an impromptu trip to the City of Lights and I spent the weekend with my husband, my mother and sister. We stayed at Mercure Hotel at the Gare de Lyon, one of the main train and metro stations in Paris, a hub for transport that will take you anywhere in the cit
