I was, as we say over here, born and bred in Northern Ireland. I left school early at 16. Like many of you reading this, school and I didn’t really see eye to eye. Travel has always been in my blood from an early age, so to speak. I always had a passion to travel and see the world from a young age. I hadn’t really travelled but knew I wanted to. Northern Ireland is a small country. I wanted to experience more diverse cultures and experiences that the world has to offer us all. So, I had to figure a way of working out what I could do in life.

Fortunately, one of my best friend’s Sisters (Cathy) worked for a transatlantic tour operator at this time. She suggested that I would be able to travel if I worked within the travel industry. So, I dropped out of school and went to college to study Travel and Tourism. I immediately fell in love with the industry as I was good at my job and thrived on learning about everything to do with the travel industry. It opened up many avenues for me that I knew I had done the right thing and that I had joined the right industry to work in.

I have extensively travelled with both my career in the travel industry and on a personal “just love to travel” level.  I’ve seen many countries and travelled on many an adventure. I’ve cruised on a small yacht in the Aegean Sea. I’ve flown First Class. I’ve been on Cruise Ships and Concorde. I love the industry, simple. Tubs Travels will offer you my experiences, my travel tips and some helpful travel information that just may help you with a query or question that you have. 

Anyway, feel free to explore my site. Hopefully you will be able to gain some knowledge or information for your own travels.
