Tailor Made Holidays in Alaska: Our Specialists

Elizabeth Beeson

Canada, Alaska and The Arctic Specialist

01993 838 711

Expertise: Canada, Alaska, The Arctic, Alberta, British Columbia, Quebec

Having always had a fascination with foreign countries and a desire to see the world, Elizabeth joined the Foreign Office. This has taken her to a diverse selection of countries and given her the opportunity to travel extensively in many parts of the world. She was drawn to the wide open spaces and wonderful wildlife of North America and kept returning here whenever the opportunity arose. Numerous trips to Canada and the USA ensued. A need to settle down and establish a home finally brought Elizabeth back to the UK and a three year stint in estate agency followed (interrupted by a mammoth six week driving trip around the Great Lakes and a quick trip to Nova Scotia and Newfoundland!). However it proved impossible to get the travel bug fully out of her system and so she joined Audley Travel in March 2007.

Fiona Pearce

Canada, Alaska & The Arctic Specialist

01993 838 710

Expertise: Alaska, The Arctic, Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, The Maritime Provinces, Northwest Territories, Yukon

Fiona's passion for Canada began with a backpacking trip to this vast country whilst studying Geography at university. Having sparked a desire to explore the country further, Fiona returned to Canada on a belated 'gap year' to spend time living in the Rockies where she worked as a ski instructor for two seasons. After returning to her home town of Oxford, Fiona joined the Audley Canada team and has recently returned from a four week trip to Canada where she saw polar bears in Churchill, took in the spectacular fall colours of Ontario and revisited the awe-inspiring scenery of the Rockies. Outside work Fiona enjoys skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and reading.

Jane Robinson

Canada, Alaska & The Arctic Specialist

01993 838 707

Expertise: Alaska, The Arctic, Canada, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, The Maritime Provinces, Northwest Territories, Yukon

After completing an HND in Travel and Tourism, Jane spent ten years co-ordinating holidays and managing a branch of a well-known travel agency in her native Warwickshire. Following this she spent a further ten years creating tailor made trips with a leading long haul tour operator specialising in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Canada is one of Jane’s great passions and she especially loves its panoramic landscapes and enthralling wildlife. On a recent four week trip with Audley Jane visited southern Ontario, Alberta and the lesser-known regions of British Columbia where a highlight of her trip was seeing grizzly bears at close quarters in their natural environment. Outside work Jane enjoys spending time with her family, horse riding, walking her dog, skiing, cooking and entertaining.
