“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.” - Maya Angelou
When people ask how travel has changed me I look back at who I was before working in the travel industry and being able to see the world and I know that I am now a better, more well rounded person. Simply put, I'm a lot better now than I used to be.
In fact, I believe that travel makes everyone a better person, I end each trip better than when I started and with a better understanding of the world. Each trip you take makes you a better human being but also a cooler person; the kind of person that people gravitate towards and want to be around.
I started in the travel business about 7 years ago and it was the best decision of my life! I know that the concept of a travel agent seems to be outdated, but nothing could be further from the truth! I work with people of all ages and all backgrounds to plan travel all over the world and I love my job! While planning travel I take pride in my attention to detail and making sure that each trip is tailor made for my clients. I work to maintain relationships with vendors and clients that extend beyond the workplace and when those relationships flourish I can better serve my clients.
With all the ways that a trip can make you a cooler, better person there's no reason why you shouldn't start planning your next adventure now!
