With my 2025 Travelmation contract signed, I'm looking to make big goals come true! And when I say big, I mean 𝐁𝐈𝐆!

I joined Travelmation in April of 2022. Each year, I've been fortunate to sell between $50K and $75K of travel.

Well, 2025 is going to be the year that I LEAP to $𝟑𝟎𝟎𝐊, and I need your help. Working in sales, specifically travel, is HARD. It requires being on call 24/7. It requires careful planning; paying attention to details; staying ahead of things.

This job is commission based. As agents, we only get paid once clients have traveled. If you request 4 or 5 quotes from me, that is several hours I have worked and will not be paid until at least 1 month after you travel home. If someone books a trip in January 2024 for June 2025, that is nearly 18 months before I would see payment. I'm not saying this to play a small violin. I frequently get asked how payment works as a travel agent.

𝙎𝙤 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥?
1. Book your next vacation with me! I can book you everything from one-night hotel stays to extravagant vacations. And yes, I book more than just Disney vacations.
2. Not ready to travel? Refer your friends and family to me. My business depends on word-of-mouth referrals and reviews.
3. Share my information via social media.

Let's make dreams happen!

I love this statue of Roy Disney and Minnie Mouse at the entrance of Magic Kingdom. The Partner Statue with Walt and Mickey are at the castle hub while you are greeted by Roy and Minnie, the support behind Walt who brought the vision. We can all thank Walt for the dream, but the dream wouldn't have happened without his brother, Roy.

Yesterday I posted a "This or That" challenge for Disney, but Disney isn't always for everyone. So instead, this "This or That" challenge is all about a general vacation.

🍫🌍 Did you know Sunday was 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆?! 🌍🍫

As a travel agent, I've had the pleasure of exploring many delightful destinations, but one of the sweetest memories I cherish is from Cusco, Peru. 🏞️✨

During my visit, I had the incredible opportunity to take a chocolate-making class at the ChocoMuseo. It was a fascinating experience to learn about the entire chocolate-making process, from bean to bar, and to craft my very own delicious treats. 🍫👩‍🍳

The rich history and culture surrounding Peruvian chocolate are just as captivating as the flavors themselves. If you ever find yourself in Cusco, I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary. It's a must-visit for any chocolate lover! ❤️
