Louise

My name is Louise O Riordan and I have been working with SAYIT for 6 years. I specialise in long haul travel in particular Australia and gap year travel. From 1999-2001 I lived " Down Under". In my opinion it is the best, most amazing place in the world! I travelled extensively during my time there and my favourite places would be Kakadu National Park and The Whitsunday Islands. While living in Australia I visited New Zealand on 3 occasions. Queenstown and Tekapo in the South Island would be top of my list for fantastic places to visit.

My other travels have taken me to New York, Fiji, Los Angeles, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Dominican Republic, Turkey and Morocco.

Trish

 My name is Trish O'Donovan and I am a Travel Advisor with SAYIT Travel. I have worked in the industry for over 9 years.

In addition to Ireland I have lived in Australia and New Zealand. I have travelled extensively around the world to such wonderful places as Fiji, Canada, USA, Cook Islands, Bali , Hong Kong, Thailand,  Singapore, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, South Africa, Costa Rica, New Zealand and Australia.

I have to say I love travelling, seeing new places and meeting new people. Some of my favourite memories would be of New Zealand especially the South Island, the scenery is spectacular and there are great opportunities to go whale watching and dolphin swimming. My other favourite hotspot would be Bolivia where the cost of living is very reasonable especially for a budget traveller and the people are extremely friendly.

Clare

My name is Clare O'Dwyer and I have worked as a Travel Advisor for 8 years. Previously I have spent a year living and working in Australia, during this time I lived in both Sydney and Darwin and worked as a travel agent, a waitress and did a short stint as a mango picker! Since then I have travelled to Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, New York, Morocco, Antigua, Greece, Croatia, Amsterdam and Edinburgh. 
I really have a passion for travelling.  My favourite places so far have been in Asia and South America.  Some of my highlights of Asia were relaxing on the beaches on the Islands in Thailand, the full moon party on Koh Phangan, cruising in a Junk in Halong Bay, Vietnam and of course the shopping...everywhere!  South America has so much to offer and I loved all I saw, Rio was an amazing city, like nowhere I had ever been before, the Iguassu Falls were really stunning and doing the Inca Trail was such an amazing experience. If you need advice on travelling to any of these places please don't hesitate to contact me.

Bridget

Kia Ora! My name is Bridget Harkess and I am one of your friendly Travel Advisors based here in Cork!

Having been born and bred in Australia and New Zealand I myself suffer from itchy feet. In addition to Australia and New Zealand I have lived in China, America, and of course Ireland.In addition to the above countries I have travelled around the world to places such as Fiji, Vanuatu, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Northern India, Turkey, Singapore, South Africa - Cape Town and the Garden Route, Luang Prebang, Vientienne, Chiang Mai, Hong Kong, and mainland Europe. Whatever you are planning for your holiday I will be able to help, from your weekend getaway, through to tours, cruising and the big round the world trip.

I have a passion for travel and love helping people get the best out of any holiday that they are planning. Having worked both here and in New Zealand it allows me to draw on a great wealth of knowledge, especially for those of you who are planning on heading South for the year. I look forward to seeing you in the office to book your trip!

My two personal favs are Vanuatu and Malaysia! Vanuatu has wonderful people and fantastic beaches and to add to it all fabulous diving! Kuala Lumpur is a great city, not only for those culture vultures out there, but also for those in need of retail therapy. The shopping is fabulous, well worth a couple of days if you are passing through, and if you venture a bit further the beaches on the East coast are well worth a visit!

Dee

My name is Deirdre O'Leary and I have worked as a Travel Advisor for 10 years.

I have travelled extensively to the following fabulous places; Majorca, Greece, Turkey, Amsterdam, Milan, Brussels, Barcelona, USA - Florida, New York, San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas, San Diego, Portland, Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Mexico, Australia, Thailand, South Africa, Malaysia, Tunisia, Turkey, Brazil, Argentina and most recently to Botswana and Zambia on an adventure tour which was unforgettable! Adventure tours are the new travel "buzz" and I would recommend them to anyone!

My two favourites places were Thailand and Brazil. Thailand has everything you could ask for in a holiday - its exotic, fantastic weather, beautiful islands, vibrant city in Bangkok, wonderful food, great value for money and the people are warm and friendly. Brazil is pretty much the same, it has so much to offer, great weather, beautiful scenery ranging from magnificent waterfalls, gorgeous sun drenched islands and swamp lands. Rio is stunning and you still get good value for money.
