About Me
I’m Sinead, a Yorkie who is passionate about sharing my amazing City of York with visitors from the U.K and all over the world.
I love my city because it has everything – a vibrant nightlife, history, great architecture, friendly people, fantastic food and drink and a packed festival calendar. There is always something new to see and do. Plus, the city is a great base from which to explore the rest of Yorkshire.
Although, why should you trust me over other York England websites?
Why York Travel Expert can help you
✔️ I’ve lived in York for over 18 years and have raised my three children here.
✔️ I have explored York on my own, with my husband plus with our babies, toddlers, kids and now teenagers in tow. As a result, I have experience to share for all ages and travel styles.
✔️ I will share with you the hidden gems in York that only a local will know.
✔️ As a local, I can introduce you to Yorkshire culture and sayings plus provide interesting facts about York. I will teach you what nitherin, jammy, snicket and reyt mean!
✔️ I’m a history grad and an ex-teacher so my articles are thoroughly researched and well written.
How is York Travel Expert different to other York England websites?
⭐ I have visited 76 countries, 38 of them with my children. Consequently, I know the essential information first time visitors to a city need to know.
⭐ York Travel Expert is designed for new and returning visitors to our city, not the people who live here. However, I’m sure locals will also discover something new because my husband has and he’s lived here longer than me!
⭐ As a local resident, I know the City of York 100% better than anyone who has visited for a day or weekend.
⭐ All opinions on this site are independent and my own because I am not part of a tourist board or a business chain.
