Heya!
We’re Kolyn & Denis and we’re The Curious Tourists. We first met in 2010 and got married in 2018. We live in Dublin with our dog Hugo!
We both have a mutual love of travel and went on our first trip together to Paris. Since then, we’ve had lots of amazing adventures together, seen many wonderful places and done some really awesome things!
We both have full time jobs and so do all our travelling using our regular work holiday leave. We like to make the most of our time off and have managed to visit lots of different places over the years. We want to share our adventures with a little flavour of what we get up to. Our aim is to entertain you with our travel stories, tips, advice, videos, pictures and lots more, all with a little bit of humour thrown in.
Kolyn is originally from Dublin and works doing all sorts of weird and wonderful creative things for SPIN & 98FM, two of the biggest radio brands in Ireland. Up until recently, he also worked most weekends performing as Joanna Ryde, one of Ireland’s top drag stars. His adventures with Joanna over the years include writing a book, winning the prestigious Alternative Miss Ireland, hosting a radio show and appearing on TV shows including the All Ireland Talent Show, Podge & Rodge and Britain’s Got Talent.
Kolyn has travelled to over 75 countries and everywhere he goes, he gets a flag and add it to the Wall Of Flags in our house! Aside from travelling, he loves Lego, Formula 1 and theme parks.
Denis is from Tipperary and works for the leading sales and marketing company Stafford Lynch. He previously worked in hospitality with a management role in the much-loved Tower Hotel in Waterford. He has a diploma in hospitality management and accounting.
Denis has been to over 40 countries and has a keen interest in anything to do with the Titanic.
We’ve had so many wonderful experiences over the years so we’ll be looking back on some of those as well as talking about any current travels. We hope you come on the journey with us and get some inspiration for your own adventures too!
