Angel Adventures Travels to Ireland 

Angel Adventures, the Meredith College Alumnae Travel Program, recently completed a 13-day journey through Ireland, offering participants an in-depth look at the Emerald Isle’s landscapes, history, and culture.

Designed to strengthen connections among alumnae and with the College, the program brought together a sold-out group of 28 alumnae, along with their spouses and families. Throughout the trip, travelers experienced a blend of historic sites, cultural activities, and local traditions.

“Angel Adventures provides alumnae and friends a unique and educational travel experience that takes the pressure off of planning, gets them off the beaten path, and fosters lasting friendships,” said Taylor Wilson Twine, ʼ13, associate director of alumnae relations.

The tour began in Dublin, where participants visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the National Museum of Archaeology, Trinity College, and the Guinness Storehouse. The group also explored Northern Ireland’s history with a visit to Hillsborough Castle and enjoyed a ferry ride to the island of Inishmore.

Over the course of the trip, the group traveled across the country with additional stops in Sligo, Connemara, Galway, Tralee, Kilkenny, Kildare, Belfast, and Derry, Northern Ireland.

“Nearly every day held something meaningful. Seeing the Great Blasket Island and exploring the Great Blasket Centre has stayed with me,” said Twine. “It was a beautiful, contemplative morning from the journey of getting there to the telling of the stories of the Islanders.”

The program was led by Twine and volunteers Travis Tamerius, presidential spouse, Betty Webb, ’67, and Becky Bailey. The College appreciates the extensive international travel experiences of these leaders. Twine is proud of the program’s ongoing efforts to deepen alumnae involvement and enrich the experiences of those who journeyed with Meredith.
