About
Alex had a passion for travel from a young age. It was ignited during her early childhood in the Philippines, and it was later reignited as she explored Europe as a young adult.
She adores experiencing new cultures, new cuisines, and new landscapes.
Alex is a seasoned traveller and has explored 19 countries and lived in 3.
Experience
Alex played a key role in developing our Irish Road Trip Itineraries hub, which boasts the largest collection of Ireland itineraries available anywhere.
Thanks to the weeks and months spent building out this part of our website she amassed an in-depth knowledge of Ireland and its many nooks and crannies.
Favourite places in Ireland

She also dreams of days spent exploring the Connemara region, wandering around Kylemore Abbey and soaking up the views from the top of Diamond Hill.
