Host Agency
I have been with PTN Travel since they started. I have not once even thought about going with another host company. The team at PTN is always helpful and willing to answer any questions or follow up later with an answer. I have always felt valued and like a part of the team and not just a number on a list of worker bees. PTN is always moving forward and working hard to make things better for us as IC's and getting us the resources we need to better ourselves and our businesses. There really is no other host company that I would rather be with than PTN.

I've been with Archer Travel for over three years, and joining has honestly been one of the best decisions I've made for both my business and my family. When I first started, I had no experience as a travel advisor. The training, support, and resources gave me everything I needed to build a real business from the ground up. Whether you're interested in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Disney, Europe, destination weddings, or group travel, the supplier training and ongoing education are incredible. There is always something new to learn, and the support never stops. One of the biggest advantages is Archer's long-standing reputation. They've been in business since 1952, which means they have established relationships with more than 135 travel suppliers. Those relationships provide great commission opportunities, valuable training, and strong support when working with vendors. The commission structure is also excellent. Depending on your membership level, advisors can earn 80% to 100% of their commissions, giving you the opportunity to grow into a very profitable business. Something I appreciate is that the mentorship side of the business is completely optional. If your goal is simply to sell travel, you absolutely can. If you want to mentor others and build an additional residual income, that opportunity is available too—but there is never any pressure. Personally, I've enjoyed mentoring because helping others succeed has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career. As someone who has built a successful business while raising five children, I can honestly say Archer has given me flexibility, financial opportunities, lifelong friendships, and a career I truly love. I've gone from having no travel industry experience to becoming a successful travel advisor and leader, and I couldn't have done it without the training, mentorship, and community I've found here. If you're willing to learn, stay consistent, and put in the work, Archer provides all the tools you need to build a successful travel business. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this company and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive host agency with decades of experience and outstanding resources.

I began working with Global Travel Collection about 16 months ago as the result of a change within the larger agency through which I had been conducting my business. The merger that connected me to GTC has been an outstanding highlight in my 28 year career as an Independent Contractor and business owner. Although Global Travel Collection is a large agency it continues to be run with care, focus, and initiatives that allow an IC to thrive in whatever current state the Industry is in. The constant evolution with the business and the ongoing innovations in the technology are impressive and valuable. I am constantly motivated to grow my business as I feel completely supported and encouraged. It is a true partnership for which I am grateful.

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! :)
