Whether it’s sipping a coffee on the Cliffs of Moher, catching the sunrise over the Liffey, or in a Gondola in Italy, we want to see your Travelmarvel mug on the move!

Simply snap a photo with your mug, capturing a marvellous moment, from iconic landmarks to quiet countryside scenes and send it with a short description of what made it special to [email protected].  Your photo will also be featured on ITTN.ie, but don’t forget to post it on your socials making sure to use #TravelmarvelMoments.

Let the journeys, and the snaps, begin!
