In the Press

If you’re yearning to get away on an epic trip, Travel Department and TD active Holidays have a couple of spectacular ‘bucket list’ trips to really put a spring in your step (even as Spring at home stays dour and dull).

The new year is a natural time to start over. Suddenly, you want to shake off the post-Christmas doldrums, dust down the runners/guitar/tap shoes and feel like you're actually doing something with your life.

I was delighted to be invited on behalf of TD Active to join in on a photography trip to Morocco with Dublin Photography School this October.

We travelled to Morocco with four friends and were very happy that it was all planned for us and that we had a guide for the entire trip – Ibrahim – and local guides in each place we visited.

The sun is just setting over the city of Kandy; Sri Lanka's 800-year old cultural heartland, nestled deep in the misty foothills of the little island's central province.

The Kelani River is one of Sri Lanka's longest and most famous, flowing nearly 150kms from an obscure little source, high in the landlocked Sri Pada mountain range to the capital city of Colombo on the island's southwest coast.

My typical yoga practice involves driving at break-neck speeds to make it to a 45-minute class that I’ve squeezed into my already ridiculously overscheduled day.

One of my lasting memories of an Inter-rail trip I took 15 years ago is a stunning view of the Austrian landscape.

Beautiful landscapes, outdoor activities, medieval architecture — Transylvania has it all. But with Halloween around the corner, Eimear Ryan visited with one thing in mind — vampires.

India was never on my bucket list, but for no particular reason – I’m fully aware that most of the bad stuff you hear about different destinations comes from people who’ve never been.

One of the most memorable trips I’ve ever taken was to India with TDactive holidays on their Golden Triangle India itinerary – made even better by the fact that we were in Jaipur to celebrate Holi Festival of colours!
