Our Celtic Original, Michaela is a master at fitting all the pieces together and raising her team up. Born in Ireland, her melodic accent and charm are a calming presence that reflects a big brain at work.

Where in the world is Michelle? Either at her desk, traveling to create international relationships, or creating beauty in her kitchen. (We wouldn’t be surprised to see her on the Great British Bake Off!)

A former flight attendant, Jen is in love with travel, trivia, and cracking jokes along the way. Her philosophy: see everything, laugh as much as possible, and treat strangers as friends she hasn’t met yet.

The phrase mise en place has stayed with Lauren since culinary school. Literally “putting in place,” it means setting yourself up for success by being prepared, organized, and thinking things through. She applies that to all of life, from cooking to travel.

A career in travel is Ellie’s way of living an authentic life. As a lifelong learner, she finds travel brings a destination to life in unique and personal ways. She loves helping clients design vacations with authentic experiences that light a fire in them!

Finding and exploring new experiences, destinations, and locations is authentically Adina. Her travel bug led her after college to a new home—the USA! She finds immense joy in making the places we see in magazines and online become a travel reality.

Jennifer is thrilled by Authentic Vacations’ specialized Irish travel. She plays the cello, and one of her favorite pieces is Mendelssohn’s The Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave) Overture—you can almost feel the salt spray on your skin in the opening measures! Ireland always inspires her.

The words “It’s okay to be first” magically give Amber permission to become her authentic self. Optimistic, innovative, decisive, and fiercely loyal, she has high standards for luxury and service, apparent in each itinerary she creates. Trivia is a favorite pastime of hers!
