About Alison White
Alison first joined Regent in 1987 and has had a long association with the company since then, travelling to many Regent destinations. In 1998 she moved to the USA with her husband and children, living in Illinois and California and managed to visit 28 of the 50 states. She returned to the UK in 2004 and came back to the Regent Bristol office as Marketing Manager but moved to a position in sales in March 2012 after missing the day to day contact with clients and wanting to enthuse directly with them about Regent's fascinating destinations.
Since her return to the company in 2004, she has toured Bosnia-Herzegovina, visited Budapest and St Petersburg and co-tour led a large group to Moscow & St Petersburg in September 2009. In 2010 she visited Slovenia in June and Estonia in September where she tried the Estonian pursuit of bog-walking!
In November 2010 she headed off for a weekend break to Iceland, staying at the stunning Hotel Ranga in Hella, South Iceland. The trip truly inspired her to return to this breathtakingly beautiful country to explore further and next time try some of the more adventurous pursuits that are possible there. She realised a life-long dream of seeing the Northern Lights in December 2011, whilst on a trip to Akuyeri and lake Myvatn in Northern Iceland but is still dying to go back to Iceland to explore more and track down the Northern Lights in other Scandinavian countries!
In contrast her other trips in 2011 took her round the fascinating island of Taiwan and to the deserts of Saudi Arabia!
In her spare time Alison enjoys dog walking, tennis, watercolour painting, cooking and learning languages. From her many years of tour leading experience in Eastern Europe and the Far East, she has found that knowing how to say 'please' and 'thank you' and 'where is the toilet' are the first phrases you need to master!
