The Story Behind Our Logo

Our name and logo feature the Dara knot, a powerful symbol that captures the essence of our founder’s journey. Rooted in her Irish heritage, the name comes from the Boyne Valley, the birthplace of Ireland's Ancient East, which has some of the world's most mythical landscapes. It is a connection to Ursula's ancestry.

The Dara knot represents strength, resilience, and the interconnectedness of life. It signifies stability, endurance, and a deep connection with one’s roots. It beautifully intertwines her deep love for her homeland with the profound bond she shares with her children, especially her daughter, whom she lost shortly after birth. This emblem embodies Ursula's commitment to honoring that love while also including her unwavering spirit of endurance and moving forward.

Each twist and turn of the knot signifies the journeys we embark on, celebrating both the joys and challenges of life, and reminding us that every adventure is enriched by the love we carry within us, in our hearts, no matter where we travel.

With a passion for travel and a genuine care for our clients, we strive to create enriching adventures that inspire and delight. Let us help you explore the world in a way that resonates with your heart.

We are the heart of travel!

The Rossnaree Story

Our story begins amidst the rolling green hills of Ireland, where our founder, Ursula Blackburne, first discovered her lifelong passion for travel. Surrounded by the timeless beauty and rich heritage of the Emerald Isle, she developed an early appreciation for exploration and the wonder that comes from stepping beyond the familiar and immersing oneself in new experiences.

That spark of curiosity soon became a calling. As Ursula lived and worked across England, Spain, Southeast Asia, and Australia, she gained an intimate understanding of cultures, people, and the art of meaningful connection. Each chapter abroad deepened her belief that travel has the power to transform, to inspire, and to create memories that linger long after the journey ends.

Her professional path began with a prestigious travel agency in England, where she mastered the intricacies of bespoke itinerary design and the art of exceptional service. There, she learned that true travel planning goes far beyond logistics; it’s about understanding people and curating experiences that speak to the heart.

Eager to broaden her horizons, Ursula brought her expertise to the United States, where she flourished in the North American travel industry. Over the years, she built trusted relationships, earned the confidence of discerning travelers, and refined her vision for a new kind of travel experience rooted in authenticity, care, and connection.

After more than three decades of global experience, that vision became reality. Rossnaree Travel was born, its name inspired by a small Irish village meaning “wood of kings,” and its mission guided by Ursula’s Irish roots and global perspective.

At Rossnaree Travel, we believe that travel is far more than reaching a destination; it’s about connection, transformation, and storytelling. Every journey we design is as unique as the traveler embarking on it, thoughtfully curated to reflect their passions, dreams, and sense of adventure.

With a deep respect for the world and a commitment to excellence, we invite you to explore with us, to uncover the extraordinary, embrace the unknown, and craft experiences that will be remembered for a lifetime.
