Andre Ashford

I left school on a Friday afternoon in July 1974 and the next Monday I started work in a Travel Agency in Bristol as an Office Junior, and have been a Travel Agent ever since. Over the years I have worked for a mixture of both Independent and Multiple Agents, and most of the last 25 years have been in a Management role. I am predominantly based in Bristol, but enjoy getting out and about and visiting customers in their own homes to discuss their holiday plans in a more relaxed manner.

Over the years I have been lucky enough to visit such countries as Australia, India, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, a Caribbean Cruise as well as most European Countries, but the place that keeps drawing me back is America. I first went there in 1982, and was sat with my wife recently and realised that we have now been there approaching thirty times. Because the country is so vast we have to do it in bite sized chunks, generally do it as a Fly Drive with a pre planned itinerary, and am currently planning the next one via Chicago around the lakes.

My highlights over the years

• Sydney. A simply stunning city

• Great Barrier Reef . Great snorkeling and diving

• Nile Cruise. Full of history

• Orlando. You just never get bored of visiting

• River cruising

• New York. The city that never sleeps

• The National Parks in Colorado, Utah , Arizona and California. Great scenery and colors

• And in Europe have been fortunate enough to visit such lovely cities as Venice, Paris, Madrid , Barcelona , Florence and Amsterdam
