About Me
My name is Alison Shipman and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. I live in Sheffield with my husband, daughter aged 10, my son aged 8 and our silly Labrador Max.
Before I became a Travel Counsellor I worked for both well known High Street travel agencies as well as independent ones, so I have gained a thorough knowledge of the world and of the industry – to date I have over 23 years travel planning experience. I enjoy researching specific requirements to ensure that you receive the best service and information on any destination.
I enjoy tailoring holidays to individual specifications. Nowadays holidays don’t have to be the rigid 7 and 14 nights that they used to be, but instead, with the introduction of low cost flights and new technologies, I can offer flexible durations to most places in the world – at more affordable prices too.
Whatever your needs - Groups, city breaks, lates, cruise, luxury holidays, round the world itineraries or family holidays - I can help you find the ideal choice.
I like to travel myself when I can and one of my favourite family destinations has to be Lanzarote. Having holidayed there 3 times now with my own family I feel that it has a laid back appeal with lots of choice and a variety of resorts to suit most people – not to mention year round sunshine too. Without the children, my choice would have to be Dubai or New York. Dubai with its fast moving City and fabulous beach and New York for its superb shopping and sightseeing opportunities.
This year we holidayed in Pollensa Town, Majorca in a townhouse with some friends- a lovely traditional town and a small piece of heaven!
I enjoy being a Travel Counsellor as I am extremely passionate about travel and being able to deliver exceptional customer service, whilst offering you a very personal service and choice.
I am able to offer a flexible service, as I work from the comfort of my own home; I often work evenings and weekends plus the flexibility of being able to e-mail you detailed quotes and information if you wish to your home or work.
I look forward to hearing from you.
