Start Your Journey Here

Live It Experience It is a travel storytelling platform curated by Eleanor McGillie — a brand journalist, travel writer, former news editor and passionate storyteller.

We travel Ireland and sometimes beyond, often on our Victory Vegas motorbikes, following roads which lead through striking landscapes, along wild coastlines and into places where food, drink and hospitality are shaped by their surroundings. Our journeys are gastronomic at heart, connecting with chefs, distillers, brewers and food and drink producers while discovering memorable places to stay.

From coastal hideaways and island escapes to castles, countryside retreats and characterful towns, we seek out experiences which reflect Ireland’s sense of place, capturing stories rooted in landscape, local culture and the warmth of true hospitality.

Whether foraging along the Wild Atlantic Way, tasting seasonal dishes in family-run restaurants, visiting small distilleries and breweries, learning to bake bread in farmhouse kitchens or winding our way to artisan producers on lesser-known roads, our travels are guided by curiosity, connection and credibility.

Alongside our storytelling, Live It Experience It draws on a carefully built black book of exceptional chefs, distinctive venues and people who believe in doing things differently. From intimate dining events to place-led gatherings, we curate experiences that go beyond the expected – shaped around people, place and purpose rather than scale or spectacle.

We also work with food, drink and tourism businesses to share their stories through features, blogs and brand-aligned travel content. With strong media connections, we pitch travel features to editors when editorially appropriate, always with integrity and alignment at the core.

Behind the scenes, a new programme of guided and self-led gastronomic motorbike tours is being curated – designed for riders who want to experience Ireland through its landscapes, its food and the joy of the road.

At the heart of everything we do is a love of meeting the people behind the places and sharing what makes them worth the journey.

If you work in food, drink or tourism and feel aligned with our approach, you’re welcome to get in touch to explore listings, collaborations or events.

Because life is about living.

Places are about experiencing.

And the best journeys are the stories you carry with you long after the road ends.

Live It Experience It welcomes conversations with food, drink and tourism businesses, chefs, producers and venue owners who share a belief in quality, provenance and experience-led travel. We’re also keen to hear from those interested in curated events or future gastronomic motorbike journeys across Ireland. If our approach resonates, we’d love to connect at hello@liveitexperienceit.com
