I have a BA (Hons.) Degree in History and Heritage Studies and a Postgraduate Diploma in Education. I hold SPSV licence and I'm an accredited National Tour Guide and limousine driver. I can trace my Galwegian roots back to 1776, to the Aran Islands and I can assist you trace your Irish roots if required. Throughout my life, I have travelled extensively around the world and realised the value of a good guide in bringing a place alive. I resolved back then to become a professional guide one day and show visitors the places I feel are unique and special. I was born in a Gaelic speaking area and would love to share a few words with you and share my passion for history and folklore.
