Travel the way you want
Hi, I’m Miriam Kelliher, a travel agent with over 20 years of experience in the industry. If you’re planning your next adventure, I’d be delighted to speak with you and together we can create an exciting itinerary, from Greek island hopping to encountering the gorillas of Uganda from getting your zen on in Indonesia to witnessing sea turtles laying their eggs in Costa Rica. We work with like-minded suppliers who have sustainability at their core and give back to the local communities they showcase.
I’ve gained first-hand knowledge to be able to create your perfect travel experience. I've been all over Australia (including Tasmania), travelled through Thailand, visited several US cities as well as Egypt and Morocco, not to mention countless city breaks across Europe as well as Eurocamp family holidays in France and Italy. With Travel Counsellors, I have access to exclusive product and can curate unforgettable experiences, no matter your travel style and budget.
I also specialise in Business / Corporate Travel for small to medium sized businesses. My goal is to make corporate travel hassle-free, allowing you to focus on your business responsibilities.

Company Days: Step Away from the Beige Conference Room
We get it. Hotel boardrooms are easy. They have chairs. They have coffee. They have that one flickering light that makes everyone feel like they’re in a cell. But your team deserves better.

La Dolce Vita in Positano
My husband and I have just returned from a 4–night escape to Positano on Italy’s Amalfi Coast, and mentally, I’m still on a sun lounger, debating whether to have yet another lemon sorbet! Positano was our base, but across five days we also managed to explore Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri and Naples. Consider this your nudge to do the same. If you are dreaming of pastel houses wallpapering the cliffs,

Disneyland Paris
We surprised the kids with our destination at Dublin Airport! We were off to Disneyland Paris to meet their favourite characters; Darth Vader and Elsa! Air France took care of our checked luggage, we experienced FastTrack and didn’t have to wait too long to board. The take-off, flight and landing were very smooth.

Malaysia: Culture, Comfort and Connection
If Malaysia were a person, it would be that effortlessly stylish friend who's also incredibly warm, knows all the best places to eat, and somehow manages to be both cosmopolitan and down to earth. My recent trip to Malaysia was a lovely blend of city sparkle, island serenity and a whole lot of sambal.

Company Days: Step Away from the Beige Conference Room
We get it. Hotel boardrooms are easy. They have chairs. They have coffee. They have that one flickering light that makes everyone feel like they’re in a cell. But your team deserves better. Now, I’m not saying fly them to a luxury island for a week (although I can also help with that!), why not think outside the boardroom box and get people together in the fresh air or to cook a meal or to be cre

Why You Need a Travel Policy (And Why You Don’t Have to Be the Bad Cop)
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t usually get people excited: travel policies. Yes, we know. It doesn’t sound thrilling.

You don’t have to enforce it. I do. What Is a Travel Policy, Anyway? A tra

Why SMEs Need a Travel Management Company (TMC)
Let’s be honest—business travel can be a bit of a circus. One person’s booking a flight departing at 2 a.m. on a budget airline with a 12-hour layover in Reykjavik, someone else is trying to expense a five-star hotel “because it had free Wi-Fi,” and no one knows who actually approved anything. Sound familiar? Enter…..: your friendly neighbourhood Travel Counsellor (that’s me). “But We’re Just a

Travel Insurance: Because “It’ll Be Fine” Isn’t a Strategy
Let’s talk about something that’s not exactly glamorous, but absolutely essential: travel insurance. Now, before your eyes glaze over and you start thinking about that time you “winged it” in Thailand with nothing but a backpack and blind optimism—remember: this isn’t about you. It’s about your team. And your business. And not having to expense a €900 emergency doctor’s visit. Travel Insurance I
