A former Sky News reporter and Newstalk journalist, Amanda Cassidy is a freelance travel writer, features editor and regular contributor to IMAGE. She lives in Dublin with her husband and three children and is currently working on her bucket-list travelogue. “We want to show our children the world, enrich their lives by seeing and experiencing all the new and amazing things that surround them.
