How We Got Started
I have always loved traveling. Starting with camping, then backpacking and then Hawaii, Tahiti and the Caribbean. But what was a turning point was when we returned from 3 weeks in Italy. A trip I spent hours and hours pouring over research to put together. My husband looked at me and said, "you are pretty good at this, you should see what you need to become a travel agent". I signed up at a local Community College and spent the next year learning what I needed to become an agent. I continue to learn every day with cruise lines, resorts and destinations. Not to mention continuing to travel! Those personal experiences and connections just can't be replaced. I still love to travel and get to go more places through my clients travels now, too.

Just as varied as my clients are, their readiness to travel does as well. I am still just using Social Media to let people know I am here when they are ready. No specific selling unless they reach out to me. As an educated Travel Advisor, I keep an eye on the various openings of resorts but I hesitate to tell anyone that “it is safe to travel. ..” to this place or that. I booked a client to Las Vegas for the end of June because that was where he wanted to go. But he decided to not go after all because of the restrictions for him.
The good thing in all of this is that the hotels and even the airlines are being more generous with cancellation policies. So I can book and if things change for that region my client can cancel if things change for either side. Lastly, I have a full range of options for my clients including amazing RVs with health and safety protocols already in place!

Honestly it won’t change for me. As a travel agency, I rely on referrals for advertising. I may promote a post or two on social media but it really isn’t different from before. I am hoping that certain events will return, though. It is nice to get out in front of people as a lot of our business...

Honestly it won’t change for me. As a travel agency, I rely on referrals for advertising. I may promote a post or two on social media but it really isn’t different from before. I am hoping that certain events will return, though. It is nice to get out in front of people as a lot of our business is trust. Putting a face to a name is good advertising too!

Behind the scenes I am keeping up to date with my Specialty of The Caribbean with diving, boating and Wellness. With Social Media it is being used to keep them dreaming with virtual travel.

As a travel agent, I wow them by upholding my promise to make traveling easier. I handle the details for them and a few details they probably would not have thought of. A lot of people book their own travel and that's fine for your short or easy trips. But what about traveling for a week or longer? What about going to places you have not been to before? Foreign Country? But overall, as a service business I do what I say I am going to do, which is be their advocate while they are traveling and prepare them as much as possible for their traveling with the least amount of stress.

Sales are better as I continue to make myself known as a Caribbean Specialist. Also more people are more educated on using a travel agent to take the burden of the research and intensive planning that their vacation takes. The media hypes so many places as unsafe and with our contacts in those places we get an honest assessment and direct sources.
And as a travel agent, I want to make sure your vacation is as seamless as possible. So I am on the lookout for snags and potential hiccups and bring them to their attention.
So I am hopeful for Q4 and beyond.

I still struggle gaining new clients after moving to FL a couple years ago. A lot of people still do not see the value of using an agent instead of the risky online bookings. I have established connections in the industry that benefit and enhance their vacations. Personally I do not charge a fee unless it is a large group traveling together. So it really does not cost any more to use a travel agent.

Sorry when I see things like this I think of the old adage, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" My experience is there is no true "free trip"

I work from home but an idea from my husband's old company. They invited a group of kids from various organizations to come trick.or treat at their company. Each desk/cubicle were asked to at least bring candy to hand out but they made it a contest for best decorations.
