The joy of cruising - waking up in another bucket list location without all the packing & unpacking. Santorini was simply stunning. Oia stole my heart. I can see why there is a LOVE/HATE relationship with Santorini. Busy with at least 5 ships docked alongside her but so grateful to & that I got to tick Santorini off my ever growing bucket list. Will the list ever be really completed. Next stop Corfu….➡️

So as I wrap up the last few bits on my desk this week I am sooo delighted to have achieved my GOLD Status yet again - pretty much the same week as last year. Nothing like heading off for a week to push yourself that bit harder.
This is a massive achievement as it’s actually just under 4 months ahead of the official deadline.
Honestly everyone that enquires, books, follows, likes and shares my business has made this happen.
My business and travel is my absolute passion in life. It ain’t always easy but as I pack for a few days on a luxury liner sailing in Greece, courtesy of I can undoubtedly say it’s all worth it.
Thank you to Donna, Emma and Karen whom work alongside me, as without them this wouldn’t be possible. Not forgetting our fabulous team in our HQ in Cork & Manchester whom we would all be lost without.

Thank you thank you thank you. Now let’s get the bubbles on ice 🌟

Get to know me….TRAVEL is my passion. I began my fabulous love for travel in 1993 - over 30 years ago when I started in Tony Roche Travel in Walkinstown.

Then I moved to working for the Link/Jet/Gold Travelshops (Capel St, the Square, Clondalkin) who became the First Choice Travelshops around 1999 where I managed the office in Finglas Village.

I moved to Co Meath in 2000 & managed Dunshaughlin & Dunboyne Travel before a brief hiatus to Australia (losing my Fiancé in 2002 meant I needed to get away for a bit) and then finally becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2007.

I also became a Mammy in 2007 so being a first time Mammy and running my own business have gone hand in hand since day one. Both my Belle & my business turn 17 this year.

I LOOOOVE what I do, my passion for travel is evident when you speak to me. So let’s start planning that next adventure …..the world is waiting for you

Feel free to share with family, friends & colleagues 🌟

Come and say G'day - Australia

I love to tailor make holidays and it's rare that any two bookings are the same. I love working on Australia and New Zealand dream holidays. Did you know I lived and worked in Australia for almost 15 months and I also re-visited Australia as a family so have experienced the anxiety and stress of going abroad with a little one and can help parents feel at ease when travelling. I have many families that contact me for help and advice when travelling as I have been travelling with my daughter since she was 6 months and she is now 17. She loves to travel as much as I do!
