With over thirty years in the industry I have never seen such uncertainty in these unprecedented times. The COVID-19 is having an impact on people's personal and professional lives and my heart lies with those that have had to re-schedule major life events such as weddings and honeymoons, that big birthday or the first family holiday. The message that I am eager to get across is don’t lose hope. I

Leaving behind the multi-cultural city of Georgetown, Penang left me eager to see what the capital city of Malaysia was going to offer. The modern skyline of Kuala Lumpur, dominated by the Petronas Twin Towers was a sight to behold, and my first glimpse of this city left me hungry to discover more. We arrived and checked into The Majestic Hotel, a colonial structure built in 1932 documented as a

In my experience Georgetown, Penang is a myriad of diverse culture populated by Chinese, Indians and Malays, a fascinating people that live in a vivacious, multicultural capital. From visiting Monkey Beach, trekking through the worlds oldest rainforest and seeing Kek Lok Si temple lit up for the Chinese New Year, everyday was an adventure. I was lucky enough to be invited to visit Malaysia co

I was lucky enough to be taken to South Africa with some of my Travel Counsellor colleagues, whom I now class as friends. Our first night was in the 'Queen Victoria ' which is a delightful hotel and very central to the VA Waterfront. We dined and socialized before heading to our beds (which were heavenly)! The following morning, we flew the short flight to Port Elizabeth to embark on our expe

Cancun has something for everyone, from a group of friends, families or a romantic getaway. I travelled with a friend and her daughter to experience and see what Cancun had to offer. We stayed at the Occidental Resort in Xcaret which was ideal and suited our needs. This hotel is very much suited to groups of friends, families getting together and couples who don’t mind a busy resort. There are

I recently visited Fuerteventura or the ‘windy island’ as it is affectionately known with my husband for a breakaway in May for his Birthday. We were lucky to have stayed at the Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahia Real in Corralejo. This hotel is situated approx. 10 min walk to the centre of town and is located beside the beautiful turquoise waters and directly on the beach. The soft white sand dunes of

Recently my partner and I visited Rome, a city that had intrigued the both of us due to its historic and architectural values. This destination is perfect for a short, adventure packed getaway. We had four days to spend in this beautiful city and were determined to experience everything Rome had to offer. Most notably, all the attractions were stunning. We visited all the famous sights; the Vat

New York has to be one of my favourite cities. As the song goes ‘Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can can’t do’! It’s exciting, exhilarating, fast paced and spectacular. From the city lights of Times Square to the wonders of Central Park, shopping on 5th Avenue to the shopping in the outlet malls, it’s a shopaholic’s paradise! There is so much to see and do, there

In May 2015, we (my daughter, friend and her daughter) landed in Orlando in the late afternoon having travelled with Virgin airlines from Dublin via Manchester. We hired a car and carried on to the hotel. The excitement now far outweighed the tiredness and jet lag. We couldn't wait to get there. Our hotel was the in Lake Buena Vista opposite Downtown Disney. We checked in with ease and headed str
