Our Story

Passionate about sharing the real Ireland with the world.

About Us

Love Travel But No One to Go With?

At Away Together,

we know that doing things solo can sometimes be an obstacle to being more active. It’s not that you aren’t willing, it’s that what you really want is shared experiences. Connection, chat and company. 

Founded with a deep love for Ireland’s heritage, landscapes, and people, Away Together was born from a desire to show travelers the Ireland that locals know and love.

We believe that the best travel moments happen when you slow down. Whether it’s a chat with a local artisan, a quiet walk along a cliff edge, or a tune in a crowded pub, these are the connections that matter.

Our mission is to foster meaningful connections between our guests and the places they visit, ensuring that your journey leaves a positive impact on both you and the communities we cherish.

About Martina

Hi, I’m Martina, founder of Away Together, a group travel leader and believer in the power of shared experiences.

I started Away Together because on every tour I led, I kept seeing the same thing : people arriving solo, unsure if they’d fit in… and leaving with new friends, shared memories and plans to meet again. Travel has this quiet magic, it connects people. And I knew I wanted to build something that made that magic more accessible, especially for those navigating life’s big transitions alone.

Over the years, I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in travel, planning and leading group tours across Ireland and beyond. But it wasn’t just the destinations that stuck with me, it was the people. The laughs over dinner, the chats on the bus, the joy of discovering something new – together.

Away Together brings all of that to life. Our trips offer a space where you can show up on your own and feel instantly welcomed. Where the itineraries are designed to go deeper, to places off the beaten track, into communities with stories to tell, and towards friendships that don’t end when the journey does.

Whether you’re newly retired, seeking new connections or just looking for an easier way to travel solo, I hope you’ll find something here that feels right.

Let’s go places - together.

Not Just Tours. Carefully Crafted Experiences

At Away Together, every experience begins with a simple question:

What will people take away from this?

Our tours are built around shared moments — food enjoyed together, conversations sparked by place, and encounters with people who bring Ireland’s stories to life. We keep groups small, pace relaxed, and itineraries flexible so there’s space for curiosity, comfort, and connection.

Whether you’re joining us for a single day or a longer journey, you can expect thoughtful planning, expert local insight, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere from start to finish.
