Ali Mandrak

Jr. Travel Planner | Year Started in travel: 2022

Growing up I was fortunate enough to have many opportunities to travel in North America with my family, which is what first sparked my interest in travelling. After years of working in healthcare, I chose to leave the field and explore solo travelling. This is when my passion for travel really grew.

My international travel has brought me to Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, and the Czech Republic, where I enjoyed different cultures and all the lovely and unique experiences each country had to offer. My North American travel experience includes much of the United States and Canada, with a special place in my heart for Squamish, British Columbia.

Some of my personal travel highlights include exploring Montserrat in Spain, visiting Christmas Markets in Germany, hiking the Squamish Chief in British Columbia, and driving next to wild bison in Yellowstone National Park.

I am grateful to be able to combine my passions for travel and helping others, as I take on a Group Planner role at Ellison Travel & Tours.
