Introducing Colette Connolly founder of Ireland on a Budget
Colette created Ireland on a Budget in 2018 because she realised that there are millions of Americans of Irish descent who would love to experience a trip to the country of their birth. Colette also noted a general perception (some of it well-founded) that Ireland is a really expensive place to visit. She wanted to dispel that notion and so Ireland On a Budget, the travel website, was developed and it is truly a great resource for anyone interested in visiting Ireland.
In the interview below, Colette talks about her journey and her vision for Ireland On a Budget.
Colette is the oldest of four children and originally from County Sligo but she has been living in New York since 1986. Her husband Ed, is an Irish-American and interestingly he also has Sligo roots. The couple have two children, Naimh and Aidan.
Colette has a background in writing and journalism and this can clearly be seen by the quality of the writing and information on her website.
So, in unpacking her website we found some really helpful information for the traveller on a budget.
The first thing that we suggest is that request a list of free activities that she will send to you if requested – https://irelandonabudget.com/start-here/
Her latest post: – Plan Your Ireland 2023 Itinerary with these 10 Locations in Mind
