I am a travel addict, with two grown and amazing children in their 20’s, two wonderful stepchildren in their 30's and 2 lovable grandsons. I retired in June 2019 from 31 amazing years as a teacher in Waterloo, Ontario. For the past few years, travelling has become a passion of mine and I love planning trips for others. Becoming a travel agent seemed a logical choice for something to do in my retirement. My love of planning, research and helping others made being a travel agent a natural fit. I spent a long time deciding which agency to join and after months of research, decided to join TravelOnly. This was the best decision I could have made. TravelOnly is not just a company but a family. They offer incredible support, great supplier connections, ongoing invaluable training and a network of support through other amazing and helpful agents. As a passionate traveler myself, I know how difficult, not to mention time consuming, it can be to plan the perfect vacation experience, and I thrive on researching, and providing not only the best vacation experience at the best price, but also the best pre-vacation and post-vacation experience. A totally personalized door to door experience! Although I am well traveled, I have not been everywhere (yet!). However, regardless of where you are interested in going, I will research and work with you to make sure you have the best possible vacation. My favourite vacation is a cruise! I have been working hard and have achieved my Accredited Cruise Consultant designation through CLIA (Cruise Line International Association) and am working on my Master Cruise Consultant level. In addition, I have significant amount of experience in planning travel for, and traveling with someone with disabilities. Through personal experience I am aware of accommodations that need to be made and what is needed for a disabled traveller. The best part...it doesn't cost you any more to use a Travel Agent. In fact, the added personal service that you get from me, adds a priceless value to your vacation. As a proud member of the TravelOnly family, all travel booked with Travel Only with Alison is processed through TravelOnly, one of Canada's largest retail travel agencies. TravelOnly is an accredited I.A.T.A. appointed agency and a member of C.L.I.A and A.C.T.A with over 45 years of experience. Can't wait to hear from you to help you plan your next vacation!
