Host Agency
Working with Direct Travel as my host agency has been an excellent experience for running my independent travel business. One of the standout features is the complete control I have over my branding - I can maintain my unique identity as Wanderlust Journey while benefiting from their robust infrastructure and support systems. Their marketing program is comprehensive and well-designed, providing me with professional tools and resources that help me effectively promote my services without having to develop everything from scratch. What really sets Direct Travel apart is their exceptional supplier support and relationships. They've clearly invested time in building strong partnerships across the industry, which translates into better commissions, exclusive offers, and smoother booking processes for my clients. The supplier training opportunities are abundant and high-quality, they offer many educational sessions that keep me updated on new products, destinations, and industry trends, making me a more knowledgeable advisor. Direct Travel has established itself as a trusted name in the travel industry, and I feel confident representing my business under their umbrella. Their reputation opens doors and provides credibility that benefits both my professional relationships and client interactions. The combination of operational support, marketing resources, supplier relationships, and industry standing makes Direct Travel an ideal partner for independent agents who want to maintain their autonomy while having access to enterprise-level benefits and support.

Joining Favorite Grampy Travels as a Concierge Travel Planner over four years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had no idea that I’d not only be joining a fantastic agency, but also gaining an extended family. From day one, the support has been incredible—not just from our agency owner, but from fellow agents who truly want to see each other succeed. What sets this agency apart is the strong sense of community and collaboration. We uplift and empower each other through ongoing training opportunities, monthly Zoom calls, one-on-one mentoring with agency leaders, and active chat groups where we can share advice and celebrate wins. We also benefit from strong relationships with top travel vendors, which helps us better serve our clients. One of the highlights every year is our annual convention. It’s a chance for us to meet in person, deepen our team bonds, and connect directly with our partners through networking events and hands-on trainings. Being a part of Favorite Grampy Travels has been more than just a career move—it’s been a journey of growth, support, and connection with an incredible group of like-minded professionals. I’m so proud to be part of this amazing team.

We have been with The Travel Society for about 13 years, and they are fantastic, they are very fair, extremely easy to work with and they make it a point to keep all of their agents up to date and informed on all travel related issues and current events. Also, they pay on time, all of the time and any time there is a problem it is resolved immediately. I would strongly recommend them!!

Hi, I’m Steph! I own the site. :)

I’m passionately curious, always up for something new! I love to travel, read/write, and meet new people. I have a sweet Aussie named Fennec and a boisterous Husky mix called Orion that keep me company!

I grew up in the travel industry, my parents’ travel agency was in the basement. Later on, I built and worked at a host agency for years. Sometimes I get so excited about things, I think I leave a trail of rainbows in my footprints! :)
