I DID IT!!!!! I completed a 3-year goal today of earning my own IATA number. This is huge for a travel agent. I thought I had missed it but it turns out I accomplished it. I wish I was able to go out and celebrate but believe me once we are able to go out and celebrate I will be celebrating this. For now I celebrate at home with a beer. I could not be more excited!

Almost 3hr on hold with no answer yet. If you are trying to change/postpone a vacation or your travel agent is doing it for you please have a little patience. They are busy and overwhelmed just like everyone/everything else. The up side is if you booked with a travel agent then they are doing this for you 😉.

I was so excited to get the brand new spring/summer 2020 Wed Kansas City magazine in the mail yesterday. This is a super special issue to me because it is the first issue that I am advertised in. I was also very excited to see that I am right next to the extremely talented Anne - Marie Designs.

Just wanted to take a moment.
Thank you healthcare workers!
I have been looking for a thank you note online that I could post but could not find one that I liked or that expressed the kind of thanks that needs to be conveyed to you all.
Thank you for doing the job that most people wont
Thank you for showing up when no one else will
Thank you for putting your own safety and well-being at risk to care for those who need to be cared for
Thank you for being there through sickness
Thank you for staying at hospitals overnight in bad weather and giving up time with your families to make sure others are cared for
Thank you for your bravery, compassion, sleepless nights, long shifts, care, missing time with your families and giving your all to people you don't know and may never see again.
In case you're never told.....THANK YOU!!!

This is round 2 to make last minute flight changes for a destination wedding guest leaving in 4 days. Why round 2? Because after being on hold the first time (for an hour) I was disconnected and to call back. This is why having me behind your vacation is totally worth it.

I became a Certified Travel Agent in March of 2017. I have always had a passion and desire to have/run my own business. This became even more important to me after I became a mother. I knew I wanted to stay at home with my kids but I also wanted to still contribute to the household income. After trying out a few different avenues with direct sales companies I was introduced to another Travel Agent and it all came together after that.
I was raised with a strong work ethic and always treated my jobs with the respect I felt a business owner deserved for their business. This lead to a longing to one day have a business of my own. I have worked in a variety of different fields including retail, customer service and office administration. All this experience has added to my ability to handle all different kinds of personalities and situations.
Shortly after having my 4th child I really started looking into becoming a travel agent. As much as I had enjoyed my ventures with direct sales I wanted to find something new and different. I took my time looking and did my research and concluded that becoming a travel agent would not only fit into my life perfectly but also fulfilled my desire to help people. I have a great attention to detail and planning, which also fits in wonderfully with being a travel agent. I also love that I can offer my services to people for FREE. Traveling is such an important, fun and fulfilling experience. It is my goal and passion to make it as special and as memorable as possible.
I am always eager to learn about new places and love passing that information on to my clients. I am constantly looking to expand my knowledge so that I can better serve those who have put their trust in my services. I take my business very seriously and I strive to show that through the thought and detail I put into planning a vacation. I am always ecstatic to hear how much a trip was enjoyed and how much it enriched the lives of those who traveled.
I look forward to helping you Start Your Adventure.
