Introducing Your Travel Agent
Hey guys, you know what's funny? People always say to me, "Wow, it must be so nice to always be going on vacation!" Ugh, eye roll. But the truth is, about 85% of my trips are actually work-related.
I'm constantly going on Familiarization Tours, or FAMs, which are basically trips to learn about different resorts, brands, suppliers, or destinations. I spend hours and hours on webinars and walking around resorts, checking out all the different rooms and restaurants. Sometimes I even visit two or three (or four!) resorts in a single day.
On my most recent trip, which lasted 9 days, I got to experience some amazing places like Reykjavík, the Golden Circle, Thingvellir National Park, and so much more. It was such a unique experience, with incredible food and a deep dive into the local culture.
But let me be clear, these trips are not vacations. We work our butts off while we're away, and we don't even get paid for it. So yeah, I do get to enjoy some personal time here and there, but the main purpose is to gain knowledge so that I can recommend the best vacations to my clients.
So, just to set the record straight, I'm not always on vacation. I'm a hardworking travel specialist who's grateful for the opportunity to explore these amazing locations. But trust me, it's not all about laying on the beach and sipping margaritas. It's about providing the best recommendations to our clients.
Sending love from your not-always-vacationing travel specialist! 😘💕
