About Sarah Gaffney
I caught the travel bug after going on my OE in my early 20’s. I’ve enjoyed creating holidays for my clients over the last 22 years that are both memorable and great value for money. I like to share my knowledge & ideas, and feel privileged to have long lasting relationships with my clients.
In the days of the internet & people being able to book their own travel, I’m often asked “Do people still use travel agents?”. My response is simple, “yes they do. People can also cook but they still eat out at restaurants when they’re after something special”. Another misconception is that it will cost more using a travel agent, which is simply not the case. If you’re like me your time is valuable, you still want the personal service, the backup of a professional, someone who has the resources, contacts, & knowledge to help you plan what is right for you as it’s not a matter of one size fits all. Everyone is different, and the difference is in the details.
The countries I have visited include:
Europe: Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, UK (including Ireland & Scotland), France, Monaco, Andorra, Spain, Italy, Vatican City, Switzerland, Austria, Hungry, Slovakia, Greece.
Asia: Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Maldives, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Japan, Siquijor & Bohol, Philippines.
Africa: Botswana, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
South Pacific: Australia, Fiji, Samoa, Cook Islands, Tahiti, New Caledonia.
Americas: Canada, USA including Chicago, Mexico.
Of all my travel experiences, Africa captured my heart. There are no words to describe how it feels to come across a pride of lions sleeping during the day only to return early the following morning to watch them feast on a fresh kill, or getting a little too close for comfort to an elephant that doesn’t want you in his path, or be soaked by the force of the water teaming over the Victoria Falls. There’s definitely something for everyone.
I am a CLIA cruise accredited travel professional which allows me to match the right cruise to your requirements. I also hold a National Certificate in Travel, Level 4.
I am available Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm & available outside these times by appointment. (On call 24/7 for my clients).
