City Break OR Sunshine: Sunshine everytime!!

Window or aisle airplane seat: Always window … hate the middle and aisle seats as i dont like to be disturbed

Dream / Ideal travel buddy: Within the travel trade? The ones that dont go to bed early (you know who you are). Celebrity? Ryan Reynolds because he’s funny and easy to look at. Personally? My family cause I miss them when away.

Somewhere you want to go that you haven’t been to: Italy has always been top of my bucket list

Favourite holiday drink: I love a Cold beer in the sun and sauvignon blanc the rest of the time – it has to be dry, no fruity stuff.

1 x travel tip: ALWAYS BOOK WITH A TRAVEL AGENT

Proudest moment in travel: Every year is a proud moment for me – contributing to the organization of Northern Irelands biggest Travel trade event – I am proud to be a part of this.
