    Mini Bio

    I’m a secondary school art teacher on sabbatical, embracing my love for Irish culture and the draw of outdoor exploration. My adventures often find me crisscrossing Ireland’s breathtaking landscapes on foot, where I love sharing its fascinating facts and folklore. Immersing in nature and indulging in local cuisine – that’s my idea of heaven, and I’m excited to share these experiences.

    Favourite Place to Play

    Choosing between East and West Cork is a challenge – ideally, I’d split my time between both.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, it would have to be cheese! And I know the best Irish cheeses and where to find them.

    Biggest Adventure Read More

    Over my 20-year tenure as an art teacher, I’ve enjoyed travelling extensively during summer breaks, immersing myself in diverse cultures and cuisines. From the vibrant ‘Manu’ rainforest in South America to the rich food and culture of France and Spain, my travels have been eye-opening. While Ireland remains my first love, the spellbinding landscapes of Iceland stand out as some of my most memorable adventures.

    Kate is exemplary as a guide. Her passion for the land, its history, and her deep familiarity with the locale shone through. She was very careful to check in on each of us individually and had to negotiate some challenging situations. She did so tactfully and gracefully.

    Kate was absolutely wonderful! She was always thinking three steps ahead, communicating the plan for the day very clearly. She went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. And she shared her seemingly unlimited knowledge and passion for this part of Ireland with us. We were lucky to have her!
