I often get asked, “How do you make money?” Truth be told, I work a lot like a real estate agent. I always jokingly say, “I magically get paid, and no one knows how!” But in all seriousness, I get a cut of the profit from the travel supplier itself. For example, if we book you on a Royal Caribbean Cruise, Royal Caribbean will send me a percentage of your trip cost — basically as a “thank you” for sending you to their brand. So it costs YOU, the traveler, nothing extra.

AND THAT’S A WRAP!! Smiley’s 2024 world tour has officially ended with a Seminar at Sea for Royal Caribbean then ALG Vacations Ascend Conference in Cancun, Mexico.

Man, WHAT A FINISH it was. I learned so much, and even won a trip to Portugal at Ascend!!! But I felt like seeing all of my awesome industry friends was even more of a win (eww cheesy, but true🧀).

And believe it or not, I’m excited to not go anywhere for the rest of 2024. I think that’s because my last few months have felt like back to back to back work trips. In fact, I only had like 48 hours between these last two. It can be hard to hold a routine when you’re go, go, go like that. I’m starting to miss my bed🏠

This year my business took me on some REALLY cool experiences, and I got to see some unforgettable destinations. Now I’m ready to bring back everything I learned, slow down, and really focus on my clients/serving them.

Y’all, I love my job (and my city)😊✈️ It’s so good to be home.

All love for Em & Lindsey🗽🤍
I’ve been feeling extra thankful lately and just had to share this. I recently got to plan an incredible honeymoon for Em & Lindsey from NYC. They could have gone with any New York based agency, but they picked me, and I couldn’t be more grateful. At Smiley Travel, I’m about creating a safe, welcoming space for everyone.

Being an in*******al le***an couple, their safety and enjoyment was a top priority for me. And we didn’t have a ton of time to put this trip together.

One of my favorite parts of planning this trip was helping them find places to go in Bologna, which is one of the best LGBTQ friendly cities in Italy.

Whoever wants to see the world, I’m here to make it happen. Because travel is for everyone, and love deserves to be celebrated everywhere💕

Thanks again, Em & Lindsey, for trusting me with your awesome trip! (P.S. Go Libs tonight in the WNBA finals, I’ll be cheering alongside you two🏀)

If you know me, you know I love a full-circle moment. And of course, I especially love when it happens on a trip.

Growing up, the Reinersmans were always very involved with my family’s church, especially its annual festival. That church (and my grade school) was Saint Cecilia.

This summer, I got to plan the Reinersmans’ trip to Italy and Greece. And what did they stumble upon there? Rome’s very own St. Cecilia! Of course, Italy is full of great food, wine, and architecture, but I know this was a standout moment for them.

I’m so glad I get to help so many people from my hometown see the world and make memories like this one🤩
