World Tourism Day is celebrated annually today 27/09 to mark tourism's significant global social, cultural, and economic impact, with a focus on sustainable tourism. Did you know the tourism sector employs one in every ten people on Earth and provides livelihoods to hundreds of millions more? I count myself very lucky to be one of the people working in this sector, building my own business doing what I love.

Sustainable tourism allows us to experience different cultures, meet new people, taste exotic food, see spectacular sights that remind us how wonderful this world of ours is. Most importantly, I have always though, that travelling the world builds tolerance and understanding, and creates dialogue between people we might not otherwise meet. We are all so wonderfully different, yet fundamentally the same, regardless of where we call home.

So let’s explore more...

Happy National Travel Agent Day! 🌍✈️ (yes, it’s a thing!)

Today, we celebrate the passion and knowledge that bring unforgettable adventures to life. With extensive knowledge and a genuine love for travel, I'm here to help you explore the world with confidence. No matter what your dream trip looks like, I’ll handle every detail, allowing you to focus on creating lasting memories.

As a Travel Counsellor I am independent, so I am not restricted to selling certain hotels or packages. Combined with the buying power of an international business, I can work with you to craft your perfect next adventure.

Two of the queries I sometimes get from new clients are - if I charge a consultation fee, and if enquiring means your obligated to book – the answer to both is ‘no’. You can see some of the other reasons to book with me on this handy image.

Shameless plug incoming… September is often the time people start to think about summer plans, or are so fed up of rain they need a winter break! So if you hear of friends or family chatting about holiday travel plans please keep me in mind and give me a mention – and now you have a handy way to share my details too!

The Sri Lankan tea plantations are fascinating to explore, the women who pick the tea work incredibly hard. Sri Lankans really seem to be so proud of the quality tea produced here. Check out the beauty of the plantations. We are staying at @ceylonteatrails, 5 beautiful bungalows spread out around the Dilmah plantations. Each with a unique character, swimming pool and team of staff. Here are just a few pics from today, exploring the plantations trails around our bungalow. #yournexttraveladventure #exploremore #travelcounsellorsireland #SriLanka #teaplantation #ceylonteatrails

Sunrise climb of Sigiriya... the 4.15am wake up was so worth it. We got to the top, after 1236 steps, just on time to catch the sunrise. If you come to Sri Lanka, this needs to be top of your list. The site dates back to the reign of King Kasyapa (477-495 AD), who chose this site as his new capital. He decorated the walls with frescoes, and built an impressive palace right on top of the rock column, accessible only through the mouth of an enormous carved lion. Sadly only the lions paws remain, but you can still view the frescos and the ruins of the fortress on the top. Breathing! #yournexttraveladventure #exploremore #srilanka #sigiriya #sunrisehike
