About Me

Photo of me coming soon...

Welcome to Carlow Advisor, my virtual notebook of exploration.

My name is Mark and I’m the guy you might see taking pictures once you arrive in Carlow.

Wandering through the streets and off the beaten path brought me to one startling realization: I can’t keep my knowledge of Carlow to myself!

It would be a crime not to pass along everything I know about this spectacular county. There are so many visitors who never get to see the true Carlow, and it’s up to locals like me to fix that for as many as possible.

If you’re looking forward to visiting Carlow in the future, your explorations start right here. Even if you just wish you could visit, you can discover so much of the county through photos taken by one proud local - that’s me!
