House of Travel Ferrymead

Lovely to meet you

I have travelled to over 40 countries and I am always plotting what's next - however, the more places I experience, the longer the longer the list gets! I love the anticipation of a new adventure and learning as much as I can from every new journey. I am a self-described travel enthusiast, so being able to talk travel every day and share my passion for travel is a dream come true. I love helping people realize their travel dreams and being able to live vicariously through experiences.

Getting to know my clients and learning what's important to them is something I really enjoy, and helps when creating an itinerary that's is as unique and as special as the traveler.

There is nothing more satisfying to me than a client popping in after their journey with tales to tell of the adventures they've had. I love hearing peoples stories and experiences as every experience is so different - there is no universal truth or one size fits all option when it comes to travel!

For me travel is inspiring and transformative - it allows you to learn more about the world around you, and in the process, more about yourself.

My favourite holiday memories

Italy

Living "la dolce vita" in Cinque Terre
Las Vegas

Luckiest girl in the world - the day I ran away to Las Vegas to get married! We had a beautiful desert ceremony at Red Rock Canyon, with first look pics at the iconic Neon Museum.
Spitsbergen

Exploring the "coolest" place on Earth, the Norwegian Arctic, with my good friend Karen and Quark Expeditions. Experience of a lifetime!

Out of this world colours and pinch yourself landscapes in the stunning Deadvlei, Namibia.

A tasty Egyptian snack!

Some of the destinations I have explored

What my customers have to say

We were helped by Alisha from Ferrymead Christchurch office and once again she has looked after us very well. The quality of service is second to none. We have used a number of travel agents and no one can match the service from this office and of course this agent. She is very calm and thorough without putting us under any pressure. She would be a great model to set as the perfect agent.

This is the second time I have booked my flights with Alisha and both times they have been better than I could have done through various online websites. Alisha is very helpful and competent in her role and I am very happy to use her in future.

Adrian
Alisha has gone over and above to make sure our trip was hassle free. From the start to the end everything has run like clockwork. We are very pleased and would recommend Alisha and House of Travel to anyone.

Richard
Awesome Alisha was Fast, Fabulous, Friendly, Totally professional, and just made the whole process of booking SO EASY, Stressless and Seamless! Most impressed with my service which was honest, open, friendly, and super efficient.! I would have NO hesitation in recommending others to book through her, as I will most definitely be doing - should I be privileged to further future travels!

Jennifer
Alisha went above and beyond from the time I contacted her. She gave realistic and detailed answers to my numerous questions, guided me in the right direction for making the best choices for the time frame and budget of our holidays. Alisha is so knowledgeable and experienced so I felt comfortable trusting to leave a lot of the planning and booking of our trips without any hesitation. Can’t wait to experience the trips now!

My travel stories

Postcard from Norway

Alisha Lockie

An exploration of the Njords of Norway, Svalbard and Spitsbergen.

I recently returned from exploring the Fjords of Norway, and a small ship expedition of Svalbard and Spitsbergen with Quark Expeditions.

Highlights included a full circumnavigation of Spitsbergen, sightings of 13 polar bears, plentiful walrus encounters, braving the artic waters during the polar plunge and viewing pristine glaciers that stretched as far as the eye could see...

Postcard from USA

In 2019 I travelled to the USA for a special reason - I married my husband just outside of Las Vegas at Red Rock Canyon.

Postcard from India

Alisha Lockie

In 2018 I travelled to India to explore the Golden Triangle with Trafalgar Travel. This was my first coach touring experience, and my first experience of India - I have always heard you either love or hate India and I was vey unsure what to expect!
