Meet Brenda​​ - Founder of Joined At The Trip Tours

​

I’m Brenda an Irish travel creator, tattoo collector, and adventure-seeker with an unshakable love for exploring the world (and sharing every wild moment along the way).

​

But my path to travel wasn’t exactly traditional. I started out as an Agricultural Engineer, then went on to complete an MBA after five years of university. Life had other plans. In 2018, I was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis, and I’ve been living with stage 4 endometriosis since 2012. While both are chronic, painful, and unpredictable, I made myself a promise: my health would never define my freedom. Instead of settling, I packed my bags and built a life around my biggest passion and travel.

Why I Started Joined At The Trip Tours

​

In 2021, I launched Joined At The Trip Tours with one simple mission: To make group travel feel inclusive, empowering, and real. No cliques. No awkward solo dinners. No “you can’t sit with us” vibes. Just unforgettable trips designed for women who want adventure, connection, and memories that last longer than the flight. Since then, I’ve had the joy of leading incredible groups around the world from Egypt to Japan to Kenya watching strangers become besties, and proving that travel doesn’t have to wait for anyone else to say yes.

​

Whether you’re navigating health challenges, life changes, or just ready to do something for you, I hope my story shows you that adventure is still possible.

 

And I can’t wait to welcome you on a tour soon
