About
Irish-born and raised and currently based in San Francisco, I am a points and miles enthusiast who spends far too much time traveling around the world. A regular visitor to Ireland, France and Portugal — not many months go by without also exploring the United States and revisiting my former homes of London and New York City.
Travel style
Very much a fan of both cities and beach vacations a trip to the Algarve will always include some days in Lisbon, a week in Phuket will inevitably have Bangkok on one end and Singapore the other. The world is out there to be explored, while favorite places should always be revisited.
In recent years, a frequent travel companion has been my golf clubs as a part-time hobby has turned into much more than that, and the world is now an endless fairway. Discovering the links courses of Ireland, the pristine tracks of Portugal and of course, all that California and the US has to offer has become a wonderful way to meet people around the world and play in some truly special places.
As a Fora advisor, let me help you discover some of these places and take the pain out of planning and booking. I might even be able to help use some of those credit card points so you can sip some champagne in a bed as you fly there or advise on how best to achieve hotel and airline statuses to make the future more comfortable.
The best place to plan a trip is on the way home from a trip.
