I was born in a small village near the foot of Mount Brandon, and spoke only Irish until I was 12. From an early age, Irish folklore, traditions and customs captivated me, and my love of all things Irish blossomed. It is a love that remains with me to this day. I grew up in the heart of the Dingle Peninsula surrounded by breathtaking scenery, the Blasket Islands, Skellig Michael, Mount Brandon and the Three Sisters, and I dreamed of being able, one day, to share this incredible place with visitors from all over the world. My dream was realised when I qualified as a Fáilte Ireland Approved Tour Guide. To date, I have taken people from all over the world on magical journeys and experiences across the entire island of Ireland.
