Tailor‑made escapes, thoughtfully crafted just for you
No two travellers are the same, which is why I design each itinerary around your wishes, pace and budget. From the big picture to the smallest details, I am here to inspire you, refine your plans and be on hand whenever you need me, before, during and after your holiday.
My focus is on crafting thoughtfully tailored itineraries that feel seamless from the moment you first get in touch. Whether you are considering an elegant Indian Ocean honeymoon, a carefully planned family journey across continents, an immersive escape to South Africa or beyond or a remarkable cruise or river cruise itinerary, I design every trip around your individual wishes and travel style, how you like to travel and the memories you want to create. Every itinerary is designed uniquely for you, with care, creativity and attention to detail.
I have been lucky enough to have explored many corners of the world, including the USA, and countless European gems, with plenty more destinations still on my wish list. Cruising is my absolute passion as I have cruised the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. These experiences help me understand what makes a trip truly special, whether it is a once in a lifetime adventure or a much needed short break.
By working closely with a community of over 80 Irish Travel Counsellors, and drawing on a trusted network of more than 600 specialist suppliers and dedicated local Destination Managers, I can handcraft every holiday to reflect your style, interests and budget. No two trips are ever the same, because no two travellers are.
As I am not tied to traditional office hours, we can chat at a time that suits you, whether that is in person over a coffee or via Zoom from the comfort of your home. As Travel Counsellors is licensed and bonded in Ireland by the Irish Aviation Authority, you can also enjoy complete peace of mind knowing your money is fully protected from the moment you book until you arrive home.
Feel free to explore the inspiration on these pages and contact me when you are ready to begin planning. Together, we will create a journey that feels every bit as special as you imagine and would love to help you turn those ideas into your next incredible holiday.
My First Cruise on Celebrity Silhouette
I recently had the opportunity to cruise on Celebrity Silhouette on a three night mini cruise from Southampton in the UK.
