Ingrid O’Hara

Hi! I’m Ingrid, your personal travel consultant based in the beautiful Forest of Dean. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, I’ve called this peaceful corner of the world home for over 25 years, and I love the calm contrast it offers compared to my city roots. It’s also the perfect base to share with my two grown-up children and to fuel my lifelong passion for travel.

My passion for travel began long before I became an Independent Travel Expert. After studying Travel & Tourism in Dublin, my career started in the travel and hospitality industry, where I discovered a love of helping people create unforgettable holidays. After pursuing a different career path for many years, I’ve returned to the travel industry to turn that lifelong passion into the career I truly love.

Today, I combine my personal travel experiences with my industry knowledge to create tailor-made holidays and cruises, taking the stress out of planning so my clients can simply look forward to making memories that will last a lifetime

Any holiday you book with me is backed by The Holiday Village – part of the Travel Village Group — an award-winning 4th generation family-run business trading since 1959. When you book with me, you’re in safe hands. As a proud member of The Holiday Village, which is a member of ABTA, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes with ABTA’s trusted support and adherence to its Code of Conduct.

Additionally, I can arrange holiday packages with flights that are protected under the ATOL scheme, ensuring your financial security and giving you one less thing to worry about as you plan your getaway.

When you book with me, you’re not just getting someone who loves travel — you’re getting personalised attention, friendly advice, and stress-free planning from someone who genuinely cares about helping you craft your perfect getaway.

So, whether you’re dreaming of a cultural escape, a sunny beach break, or an adventure somewhere new, I’d love to help make it happen. Let’s start planning your next trip today!
