Hi, I’m Tash
Founder of The Gentle Travel Guide
I’ve taken that leap of faith, abandoned the path well travelled, + ventured into the unknown to explore my dream of starting my own travel business.
Growing up in a home full of wildlife conservationists, naturalists + insatiable adventurers I was fortunate enough to experience a vast range of wilderness areas in Southern Africa, the most unique being exploring Madagascar + Namibia.
When we moved to Ireland I immersed my digital marketing skills in a website editor + social media moderator role with Mirada Travel Media for their Good Safari Guide + Safari Awards travel websites who specialised in the African luxury safari market.
Encompassing my professional experience, business degree in marketing + tourism + my own life adventures around Europe, the US + an epic motorcycle expedition from Ireland to Morocco I’m growing a regenerative travel directory of consciously curated aesthetic places to stay, authentic experiences + unique foodie spots in Ireland.
This will hopefully slowly unfold to include hidden gems I discover in other corners of Earth too.
‘places to stay, play + graze’
