I teach Zen Mindfullness Meditation photography classes with an Irish Wolfhound while singing Pogue songs. Checkout my Irish Wolfhounds YouTube account > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion. Im twice qualified as a commercial photographer. Mo Chuisle ( meaning Pulse of my heart in old Gaelic) has won 5x dog shows and she does Hospital therapy visits and events such as the Hill of Uisneach. Mo Chuisle does sit and shake paw for treats. She weighs 60 kilo is 32.5" inches tall at the wethers and runs at 65kph / 40mph! Her boyfriend is the same white/creamy head of Guinness coloured, but he weighs 100kg and is 6" inches taller. I give photography classes either indoors or whilst walking the Cliffs of Doon/Dooneen or Ballybunion Strand. Get the most out of your phones camera & learn how to enjoy Zen Mindfullness walking photography. Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound adores making new friends. Throw apples for her and watch her zoom after them, toss them into the air, catch them as they fall and munch them. Ice cream cones last less then 3 seconds with her. Gulp. I have decades of experience as a Professional Photographer. Let me teach you how to read and understand light quality, mobile phone camera technology and take sharper better images. Ballybunion is Irelands premier seaside resort. Golden fine beaches at the mouth of the river Shannon. Checkout > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion > on YouTube to see why Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound gets over a million views per year on the Internet. Nick named > Platinum blonde beach bum baby girl or Big nose for short. Mobile phone 085 838 0709. Email Karlwhitekerry@gmail.com. Address 1 Ferndale Sandhill Road Ballybunion Co Kerry V31HX74. 200 meters from the beach in the heart of town. Irish wolfhounds are a direct living connection to our ancient Celtic heritage and the oldest dog breed in Ireland and the UK. The tallest dog breed in the world. I also do an interesting history of photography class and of Irish History. Stronger, faster and more agile than a Wild Wolf, the Irish Wolfhound, the dog of Kings and the king of all dogs!

Hello!! I’m Lisa, For years I’ve hiked the Dublin and Wicklow mountains, wandered through the warren of Dublin streets or strolled through the various parks and places of interest that are hidden in plain sight around the city. I often see people reading maps, or following apps on their phone and think wouldn’t it be easier if I could just show them around..

Executive Explorer is led by Aiden O’Byrne, a child of the 60’s, family man, historian, ex-corporate socialite and amateur dramatist. Tours are relaxed, friendly and accurate with an emphasis on tailor-made luxurious experiences. I really enjoy illuminating stories to people. I’m a natural story teller having written and produced a recent short film and am a short-story competition winner (SONY Prize 2000). I love history and especially the experience gained from Fetec Diploma courses in National Tour Guiding, National Tour Management and National Tour Heritage & Culture to interpret our diverse culture for National Tour guiding. Fully trained in Health & Safety protocols for National Tour Guiding to ensure that those of limited accessibilty and disability can be made feel as welcome as those fully able in any situation I love engaging with all cultures to deliver exciting and engaging experiental tours. My work experience involved building relationships with highly educated and senior corporate executives to promote my employers services and products in a modern highly regulated environment and I would hope to put these skills to work in this role.
