Full-time luxury travel designer, professional wanderer, and enthusiastic storyteller.

Hi, I’m Margaret. I spent years checking every box of "success" — nearly 30 years working toward the big job, big paycheck, and, ultimately, bigger burnout. It looked good on paper, but it never felt right. Eventually, I gave myself permission to walk away from a career that was slowly draining my spark. I ran off to Ireland (as one does) to figure out what was next.

That’s where this story begins. For the Good Times Travel was born out of a desire to create and share experiences that give people space to breathe again. To remember what brings them joy. And to do it all with warmth, soul, and a little cheeky fun.

Today, I work with thoughtful travelers – busy professionals, curious spirits, fun aunts, romantic wanderers, and multi-generation families. I bring my creativity, heart, and project management chops to the table so you don’t have to manage the stressful parts of travel. I want your trip to be more than smooth and beautiful; I want it to feel like a reflection of you.

My vision is to create the kind of experience that sticks with you long after you return home. One that makes you say, “Remember when…?”

Philosophy

My

Travel is personal.

Travel is more than a checklist—it's your chance to reconnect with yourself and the world.



Luxury is not a price tag.  

Luxury is in the details: time, comfort, personalization, and little surprises that spark joy. 


Time and trust are sacred. 

You deserve a partner who listens deeply, designs thoughtfully, and delivers memorably.

“When I travel, I come alive. I get brave. I talk to strangers. I dig through riverbanks looking for buried history. It’s where I’m the most me."

"Some places are layered with stories—history, myth, and even a little fantasy. I love when a single view feels like a whole book."

"Some people collect souvenirs. I collect the feel of old walls. I touch them, lean on them—respectfully, of course, and always without setting off alarms.”

"One of the best ways to know a place is to taste it! From haggis to haute cuisine – my recommendation - try it all!”

“The best compliment I can get is: ‘you made this feel easy and special at the same time.’ That’s the story I want every journey to tell.”
