Ellen is from County Meath, which proudly boasts itself the heritage capital of Ireland. Her love of travel and adventure took her to many places before landing in Thailand where she spent 4 years teaching English, learning the Thai language and exploring the beautiful landscapes. Being adventurous, she tried her hand at scuba diving, bungee jumping and fly- boarding, but her true passion is hiking, on and off the beaten track.
Ready to return to her homeland, Ellen wanted to help people explore the countryside and get back in touch with nature in a sustainable way. As Customer Experience Manager at Hillwalk Tours she can do this and pursue her passion for helping people! In her role, Ellen looks after queries from colleagues and suppliers about the tours across the trails. She also books tours in all regions and helps customers prepare for their trip on one of our fabulous itineraries. Helping people plan the best experience possible is her main priority and she loves interacting with customers from all over the world.
Outside of work, Ellen continues to seek adventure outdoors but when the weather doesn’t permit, you can find her practicing pyrography, drawing, reading or having the craic at a live music pub here in Galway.
