Irish Illustrator | Artist | Travel Blogger | YouTuber | Photographer

Hi, I’m Anita!

Thank you for checking out my page! I am a Data Manager by training. However, my education ranges from Art, Graphic Design, and Photography to Digital Marketing and Computer Programming on the side. I set up this site to fulfil some of these interests I have outside of my 9 to 5 job (especially as a part time traveler!) and to help anyone I can with any travel tips they may find from my site! Furthermore, as a qualified Irish Illustrator, I will be launching an online print store over the coming months. Subscribe to my page to ensure you are the first to know about this launch and gain some discount deals that will be available for my first customers!

I have had a passion for writing since keeping a daily diary as a child and reading the entire works of Oscar Wilde as a teenager. Many of my blog posts focus on New York City (one of my major passions!). I am an NYC addict and have been there roughly 16 times now – I know I have a problem! In my free time, you will likely find me planning my next trip (while consuming an unhealthy amount of coffee), spending time with my pup, playing the piano, hiking the Wicklow mountains, or painting/designing art prints.

Unquestionably, I have a passion for education! Check out a list of my qualifications below.
