My Journey Through Da Nang & Hoi An ~ Central Vietnam
As a travel counsellor, I’ve been fortunate to explore many parts of the world—but few have touched me like Central Vietnam. The vibrant city of Da Nang and the lantern-lit charm of Hoi An offer an enriching blend of culture, natural beauty, and authentic warmth. If you're seeking a soulful, immersive journey, this region delivers. We began our adventure at Premier Village Da Nang, nestled along

Thailand
Thailand is one of my most favourite places to visit, so when I was invited to go back in April I didn’t have to be asked twice. Our first stop was Cha-Am, Located less than 200 km south of Bangkok and just 20 km north of Hua Hin. Cha-Am is a quiet Beach retreat in Petchaburi province; a long stretch of silvery sand that is far quieter than nearby Hua Hin. Cha-Am is popular with couples looking f

Abu Dhabi
I was invited to visit Abu Dhabi by Etihad Airways in April. Abu Dhabi is actually the capital of the UAE; however it is smaller and less crazier than its neighbour Dubai. We stayed in the beautiful Park Hyatt hotel on Saadiyat Island. This is one of the most luxurious hotels on one of the best beaches in Abu Dhabi. The quality and service where out of this world. I have stayed in some amazing

Universal Orlando Resort
Universal Orlando Resort is one of Florida’s premier attractions. It currently has 3 theme parks with a fourth due to open in 2025! Once you have made the decision to go to Orlando, my first tip would be to download the Universal Orlando Resort’s App. This is a great tool to help you make the most of your time. You can access the parks maps, check the wait times for the rides, check meal plans, bo

Japan
Japan is a land of incredible contrasts - from neon skylines and ancient castles to serene shrines and Temples and speeding bullet trains. The country is made up of many islands and since the sun rises in the east, Japan is often called "The Land of the Rising Sun" and never fails to fascinate. We started our week long adventure in Osaka. Often overlooked in favour of Kyoto and Tokyo, but I have

Jewel of Jordan
I was just so excited when I got the opportunity to visit Jordan and was ready to fulfil this long-lost dream of mine. We started our journey with Turkish Airlines, who I love to fly with. It’s no wonder they are one of the top 10 airlines in the world to fly with. Their tag line “Widen Your World” will do just that. We flew from Dublin to Aqaba via Istanbul. We spent our first 2 nights in th

Venetian Riviera
There are beach holidays and then there are city and cultural holidays, but this fantastic location happens to be both. This year we decided to have our family holiday on the beautiful Venetian Riviera. We based ourselves in the fabulous 5* Camping Union Lido which is based in a small town called Cavallino Treporti. This was an ideal base for us as we wanted to explore Venice, Jesolo, Burano

Miami Baby
We started our trip to Miami with Aer Lingus on their new direct service. Just over a 9-hour flight from Dublin, so the direct flight was a no-brainer! Miami is an interesting city to visit. It has a rich Cuban influence, which is reflected in the many bars, cafés and restaurants. Miami, really has everything from excellent shopping, pristine beaches, art & Culture, trendy nightlife and so mu

Cape Town & The Winelands
The last time I visited South Africa was in 2012, and so another visit was well over due to this magnificent part of the world. This was my first time to visit Cape Town and the Winelands and it certainly lived up to everything I expected and more. We got off to a great start, flying with British Airways in business class! Their Club World combines premium levels of comfort and service with a s

Dubai Experience
We started off our exciting trip to Dubai in style. It is a seven and a half hour flight from Dublin and we were lucky to experience business class with Emirates. It truly was a 5* flying experience, with flat beds, ala carte menu, personal mini-bar, and stylish kit bags from Bvlgari. It was my first trip to Dubai but certainly not my last. We only had a couple of days here so to make the mos

Island-Hopping Seychelles Style
I’ve just been to Paradise and thought I would share my experience with you. Island hopping in the Seychelles, is by far the best experience of all my travels so far. What sets the Seychelles apart from so many other destinations is its wide variety of Islands – experiencing more than one island during your stay is a must. Scattered in the Indian Ocean, just south of the equator with over 1

Denis Private Island, The Seychelles
Why go to a resort when you can go to a Private Island? This Island is barefoot luxury at its finest. There is only one daily domestic flight from Mahe to Denis Island and only 15kg luggage per person is allowed due to the size of the aircraft. Once you land on the grass landing strip you are immediately met by one of the staff or management and whisked off by buggy through the tropical fore

Duinrell Holland
This year we decided to take a long weekend to a campsite in Holland. Because of its excellent value, I sell a lot of this particular site so I decided it was about time I tried it for myself. It’s a very unique campsite with its own theme park and water park on site, again -great value for money. It is set near the quaint village of Wassenaar, only a 5 minute stroll away. Wassenaar has a

Viva Las Vegas
Nothing can prepare you for your first sights of Las Vegas, with its blazing neon lights on the strip to the glamour and glitz of each hotel. Welcome to the entertainment capital of the world. Gambling is the first thing that comes to mind when you mention Las Vegas, however there is far more to do there. With world class hotels, stylish cocktail bars and top restaurants you will never be bor

Lake Garda
Lake Garda is a true paradise immersed in nature. The sheer size of the lake is huge, being the largest lake in Italy, measuring 51km long and about 17km wide. It is surrounded by the most beautiful little towns and villages, some with castles, others with cobbled streets, all steeped in history. I didn’t make it to all the towns but managed a few, enough to get a good taste of the area. M

New York
New York is everything I expected and more. This was my 5th time to the “Big Apple” and it won’t be my last. It’s not just the fantastic shopping and the sightseeing; it’s the overall feeling of being somewhere seriously cool!! On this trip, I took a group of 50 ladies. We started our journey on Thursday with a direct flight with Delta Airlines and we cleared customs in Dublin which saved us

St Vincent, A Jewel in the Caribbean
Well what can I say; this place just has the WOW factor. From the moment we landed until we left we were treated like royalty. St Vincent and the Grenadines are made up of 32 islands, with only 9 of them inhibited. St Vincent would be the largest of the islands and with only 18kms long and about 11km wide it won’t take you long to get around! We stayed at the beautiful 5* Buccament Bay Reso

St Lucia
Well I finally made it to St Lucia, that’s another one off my bucket list and one place you have to add to yours if it’s not already on it. This exotic Caribbean island lived up to all I expected of it. We were only here for 5 nights but I made sure I saw as much as I could of this beautiful island. We started off with 2 nights in the Sandals Regency La Toc. This is a lovely very large

Liberty Lady
I was lucky enough to be invited by Royal Caribbean to a seminar at sea on board their second largest ship in the world, the “Liberty of the Seas”. This was my second cruise and certainly won’t be my last. It exceeded all my expectations and really had the WOW factor with so much to offer for every age. First of all boarding this ship, disembarking and even the tenders are remarkably well or

Georgia on my mind
What a fantastic place to visit, this is a must for everyone’s bucket list. Georgia has so much to offer, with the gracious Southern Hospitality, fantastic food and astounding beauty. There is a quaint and quirky charm that is unique and welcoming and I just loved Georgia from the moment we landed. We started off our trip with a direct flight to Atlanta with Delta airlines. I was upgraded to Co

Discover France!
This year for our family holiday we went back to France. This was our 4th Year in a row to go back. We have a family house there, but this year we just used it as a base and did a lot of traveling; so I thought I would share a little about the areas we got to visit. Fouras: We’ve been going to this resort for the past 4 years and we love it. Fouras is surrounded by 5 beaches. The main beach

5* Stunning Martinhal, Sagres Portugal
I spent 3 glorious days in this stunning 5* Resort. This resort was the ultimate luxury in one of Europe’s finest family resorts. It’s in a stunning position overlooking a secluded beach within a large protected natural park. With so much to see and do at the Martinhal you might wonder if you will ever find the time to venture out into the nearby area. When you do, you will be rewarded by fi

South Africa
I was extremely lucky to be invited to visit South Africa. This place has been on my “to do list” forever and I was so excited to finally get the chance to experience it. On arrival in Johannesburg airport we were met by our guide and transferred to a lovely little place called Dundee. We stayed in the Royal Country Inn and had a lovely home cooked meal here. Dundee is situated in the heart of

Istanbul; A Turkish Delight!
I travelled to Istanbul as part of a work trip to South Africa, and we were lucky enough to spend a couple of days in Istanbul. This was my second time visiting Istanbul, and it really is a city you should put on your “must visit list”. It certainly is one of the world’s largest cities, with a population of over 13.9 million. Even though it is so populated, it never seemed crowded. It is a ver

There is plenty of free parking available. After check in we made our way to the Disney village for
