My passion for travel started when I was 17, leaving home and going to the Irish
traditional city of Galway on the beautiful west coast of Ireland to live and
work. This journey has continued and never wavers to the current day. I’m always
looking for the next adventure and to “step outside my comfort zone” I have
taught English and lived in San Francisco, Sydney, Melbourne, Hungary, Spain and
traveled extensively all over Asia and the Pacific. pexels-photo-1560932
Educational Tourism I currently work in Educational tourism and I’m the European
Project Manager for Foyle International Ltd. I oversee Erasmus work-based
internships from all over Europe. I also write large funding applications to
give local people the opportunity to experience different cultures, learn new
working ethics and enhance their employability skills. Through this experience,
I’ve noticed that personal growth is as important as professional development
and that travel and tourism can increase drive, motivation and learning.

bachelor's degree in Business Management with Spanish. I sit on the UK board for
ECVET (European Accreditation for Vocational Education and Training) and travel
to different European destinations to discuss and devise methodologies to
further enhance and improve Erasmus procedures and programmes. Ethos I believe
that travel and experiential learning are paramount to one’s development. This
includes tourism that focuses on history, culture, heritage, outdoor and
therapeutic activities. Wild Atlantic learning recognises the value of travel
but recognises our responsibility to implement provisions that are sustainable,
Eco and combat our carbon footprint. “The greatest threat to our planet is the
belief that someone else will save it”
