Deidre Bounds

Deirdre went from bedsit to exit in 10 years, selling her ethical travel company i-to-i.com for millions. What makes Deirdre's story truly remarkable is that she is an entrepreneur in the purest sense-no commercial experience, no family history of enterprise, no money, just a great idea, a pile of passion, masses of mistakes and a sense of humour!

In creating her own ethical travel company , Deirdre used her own experiences as a drop out, a stand up comedienne and a wayward backpacker. Her aim was to was challenge traditional ideas in the travel industry and dare to be different. She is living proof that business and personal success is available to all, regardless of background, gender, race, social class or any other obstacle that you can throw at it.
