A bit about me…

I am stepping into the next chapter of my life and want to take you with me! As a soon-to-be empty nester, I founded The Next Chapter Travel to create a like-minded community of intelligent, adventuresome women with a desire to see the world and a taste for the finer things in life.

I’ve worked as an educator, a family travel consultant for Ciao Bambino, and a health and wellness advocate. My father was born in Ireland, which offered me the luxury of an EU passport and sparked my lifelong passion for exploring the world. I’ve traveled to over 20 countries, with experience in both travel logistics and navigating a variety of different cultures. I also spent three and half years studying and living abroad in London and Austria. While I have enjoyed extensive travels with my family over the last two decades, I am thrilled to step into THE NEXT CHAPTER of this amazing life: Curating small-group, all-women trips for my family, friends, and friends-of-friends.

Our second trip is scheduled for this summer, June 2025, to Vibrant Portugal. 

We will:

  • Explore palaces and port houses

  • Visit must-see cultural sites

  • Indulge in tapas and other local cuisine

  • Sail under the six bridges of Porto on a yacht

  • Wander through historic vineyards in the Douro Valley.

There will also be plenty of time for long walks, exploring local villages, shopping, and relaxing.

*A portion of the proceeds of each trip will be donated to a non-profit supporting indigenous cultures.
