Off-the-Beaten-Track Celtic Specialist & Guide
Enjoy the Roads Less Traveled
Welcome! Céad Míle Fáilte! ¡Bienvenido!
The name my parents gave me at birth is Catherine. My Grandfather began calling me "Lilbit" when I was 4 years of age. That stuck until I became an adult. Now I am simply "Bit"
I am an Arizona Native. I have called Tucson home for all of my 58 years.
I am a cowboy, a children's author, daughter, mother, grandmother and photographer
Most importantly for any of you here at my profile, I am a sojourner, a lover of travel with a passion for anywhere and everywhere that the byways might take me
I am a Verified Travel Advisor with ASTA. I am a Tourism Ireland certified Ireland Specialist. Just recently, I have also completed Quark Expeditions Polar Expedition Specialist Certification.
These two certifications alone show that I have a taste for unique travel experiences.
Over the past 17 years, Ireland has become as familiar to me as my own backyard. I have enjoyed "coming home" 28 times. Of those 28 trips, there have been many a "Faery led" moment for myself and my sojourners.
For over 15 years, I have been helping clients make moments into memories. I have a passion for unique and rarely visited places wherever they might be found.
I can find you the perfect experience for making Ireland uniquely yours:
- your own self-drive adventure
- plan a small group tour for you and 10-14 of your closest friends and family.
- find the perfect larger tour company to suit your dates & needs.
- Vow renewals
When not introducing clients to the heartbeat of Ireland, I am off and about to explore her 32 counties for new sites, new lodgings and new places to eat, drink and be jolly.
I have had a love for Ireland and Scotland since drawing my first breathe. My own Gran was Scottish by birth, Irish by blood, raised in the hills of Armagh & emigrated to Canada from Belfast. She told me stories of Celtic Legends, taught me to speak Gaelic and to sing the Celtic songs.
In all of that, the Fire was lit and never extinguished. From my first steps on to Irish soil, I never felt out of place.
I want my clients to feel that same sort of Welcome & Wonder.
I work directly with my clients to build the tour that they want and then giving them more than expected. There is no rushing about on your tour. Two night stays and plenty of "on your own" time make it possible to share those "remember that time ...?" stories long after the trip has ended and you are back home
I tell everyone "Ireland is best savoured slow". Take the time to meet her people and soak in all that makes Ireland truly magikal
