Alison Jenkins

House of Travel Hamilton East

Having a love of travel, I completed a Bachelor of International Tourism Management in 2013.

After a 6 month stint working at Walt Disney World in Florida I returned to NZ and started my career in the travel industry.

After three years I was feeling the itch to travel again so I decided to embark on my second OE and moved to the UK. Living and working there allowed me to travel Europe extensively and my favourite country to date would be Poland. I returned to NZ in 2020.

"Travel is the healthiest addiction" - Anonymous

Why I love travel:

For me life is about experiences, not things! I love exploring new places, cultures, environments. I see travel for me as an addiction - I just can't stay away and helping people is so rewarding.

My travel tips:

Travel as soon as you can, don't delay as life is too short.
If you want an adventure head to Antarctica or the Arctic before anywhere else.
Always carry a change of clothes, any valuables and medication in your carry-on luggage. The House of Travel online brochures are a great source of information when planning your journey then we can finetune your holiday for you.

My top 5 destinations:

Africa- Serengeti plains!!! Perfect place to go to create family memories with our young adult kids! Adventure to encounter wildlife and camping in the Serengeti!
Dubai- the mix of culture, sights, architecture, markets, desert and the malls - even though shopping is not my thing.
Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska - I was incredibly fortunate to have a family holiday in Canada, Alaska, Las Vegas and California and I'll never forget rafting on the Nenana River, rounding a bend to see a moose and her two calves taking a drink …. we all forgot to keep paddling; it was an incredible sight!
Rome - the history and the chaos of a bustling city it offers so much culture with a cool vibe.
Thailand - I lived near Chiang Mai as an exchange student many years ago and have been back to the country three times. It is great for families, couples, singles with so much to see and do.

What's in my suitcase?

Happiness - I'm always in my happy place as soon as I travel.
Active wear - Our holidays always include adventure and plenty of travel.
A copy of my passport and insurance policy number and phone number, in case I lose my carryon bag and phone.

Plan your Dream Europe holiday with our handy guides

Destination spotlight: France is full of little pleasures

Whether you’re chasing culture in the cities, bliss by the coast, or pure countryside calm, France will always have you saying encore, s’il vous plaît.

Business, Premium, Suites: What it’s really like flying up the front

Flying up front comes with big benefits beyond the seat.

The perks that turn flying into part of the holiday

A trip to Europe is always exciting, but the journey itself can be just as memorable.

Best stopover flights from New Zealand to Europe

Why rush through your journey to Europe when you can add another adventure along the way?

Cheap flights to Europe: Why the lowest fare isn’t always the smartest

Low fares often hide extra fees because budget tickets can exclude essentials like checked baggage, seat selection or meals.

How to travel around Italy?

Europe's most magical train rides

Whether you’re a slow travel convert or chasing that once-in-a-lifetime bucket list moment, these iconic rail journeys will make you fall in love with the journey itself.

Living like a local

This is about heartbeats not highlights — getting your hands doughy in an Italian kitchen, hearing old village stories over a pint, or wandering a backstreet in Portugal that’s not even on Google Maps.

Up-and-Coming Corners of Europe

Beach lovers or history buffers? Early risers or night crawlers? No two travellers are the same. Except for the one question posed by all those who travel. So where to next?

UK and Europe: Taking the scenic route

Find your sea legs or hang on to your land legs. Discover Europe by wheel, rail or sail.

Cruising in a Winter Wonderland

Sail through Europe’s storybook towns, where twinkling lights, mulled wine and magical markets make for the ultimate Christmas escape.

Italy: Food, Glorious Food!

If you’re heading to Italy, come hungry. From silky carbonara in Rome to truffle-dusted risotto in the north, these are the bites worth booking your flights around.

Cruise: The HOT List

Here’s what’s making waves in the world of cruise holidays right now

Small groups big adventures

Delve into rich cultures, histories and cuisine with a fully-coordinated guided tour. Professionally led and planned to perfection, you're in great hands.

Our favourite River Cruises

River cruising is for everyone! Whether you've done it before, or it's your first time. Here's a list of our favourite river cruises to inspire your next holiday.

On a Solo'ish adventure

Got an inner urge to get out and explore, but none of your travel buddies can make it happen? One big misconception is that you must be single if you’re travelling alone.

The roads best travelled in Europe

We believe Europe is best discovered along its tiny lanes and scenic coastal roads. House of Travel Johnsonville’s Danny Hooper picks four of his favourite roadies.

Milestone celebration holiday ideas

Whether you’ve got a big birthday coming up, planning a 3G holiday (aka a fun trip with three generations), or making the most of your family time before the kids head out into the world, we’ve got you covered!
