Hi everyone 👋

I’ve noticed lots of new faces here recently, so I thought I’d properly introduce myself 😊

I’m Ali, an Independent Travel Agent who absolutely loves helping people plan holidays they can get excited about ✈️☀️

Originally from London and now living in Nottingham, I’ve been happily married for 32 years, love all things travel, and can also communicate using British Sign Language 😊

Whether it’s a relaxing beach escape, a family adventure, a romantic getaway, a cruise, or just somewhere new to explore — I genuinely love helping take the stress out of planning and finding the perfect trip for each person.

One thing that’s really important to me is making sure my clients get the best holiday possible within their budget. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly break or something more luxurious, I’ll always look for quality, value and somewhere I’d genuinely recommend myself.

If I wouldn’t stay there, I won’t quote it 😊

For me, travel is all about making memories, having something amazing to look forward to. ❤️

A few little facts about me:
🌍 Favourite destination: Europe: Turkey; Further afield: New York
☀️ I’m happiest when: relaxing with my hubby, mixed with exploring a new place
✈️ Dream trip still on my bucket list: Northern Lights; see more of America (have you been, where did you love, any suggestions?!)

I genuinely love chatting all things travel, so even if you’re only starting to think about your next holiday, feel free to pop me a message anytime - I'd love to help you plan it 😊 You can also browse ideas and offers on my website: www.alisawaydays.co.uk

And just for fun…

If you could jump on a plane tomorrow, where would you go? 👀👇
