Why Choose Me as Your Travel Consultant?

Travel isn't just about reaching a destination it's about discovering the hidden gems that transform a trip into an unforgettable story. With a Bachelor's degree in Outdoor Recreation Sports and a lifetime spent exploring both rugged landscapes and vibrant cities, I bring a unique perspective that goes far beyond typical tourist itineraries.

My roots in Ireland taught me to appreciate nature's raw beauty. I've summited every mountain in the country, including my beloved Tonelegee, where the trail rewards you with views of Lough Ouler a heart-shaped lake that reminds you why we wander in the first place. This deep connection to outdoor adventure means I understand travelers who crave authentic experiences, whether that's finding the perfect hiking route or a secluded viewpoint that isn't in any guidebook.

Living in the Netherlands expanded my horizons in ways I never anticipated. I fell in love with how seamlessly you can hopscotch between countries and cultures breakfast in Leiden, lunch in Brussels, dinner in Cologne. But I also learned to dig deeper: discovering D'Artagnan's statue (The Three Musketeers) in Maastricht, understanding the city's role in European history, savoring local flavors that tell the story of a place. I've learned that the best travel experiences come from balancing spontaneity with insider knowledge.

What truly sets me apart is my approach to travel planning: I believe in the magic of getting lost with purpose. I'll help you find those non-touristy restaurants where locals actually eat, the neighborhood markets that buzz with authentic energy, and the lesser-known historical sites that reveal a destination's true character. These are the moments that stay with you long after you've unpacked your suitcase.

I'm also part of a family that lives and breathes exploration. My fiancé who originates from France, shares my passion for discovering new places, and my mother-in-law literally writes the book on travel authoring French travel guides from her home in Greece. This means I'm constantly exchanging tips, routes, and hidden treasures with fellow enthusiasts who understand that travel is both an art and a calling.

Whether you're an adventurous hiker seeking Europe's most breathtaking trails, a culture enthusiast wanting to trace historical footsteps, or simply someone who wants to experience a destination like a local rather than a tourist, I'll craft an itinerary that speaks to your spirit. I understand that the best journeys are personal, and I'm committed to helping you create memories that are uniquely yours.

Let's turn your travel dreams into extraordinary realities.
