The thrill of discovering a new country, the serenity of a sunset melting into the water, the stories we carry home with us - that’s why we travel.

It’s not just about checking destinations off a list. It’s about the moments that move us! This Travel Advisor Appreciation Month, join us as we highlight travel advisors who make those moments happen. 

Vikki Rodriguez, Owner of VK Travel Concierge LLC, an Independent Agency in the Avoya Network, shared that her best piece of advice for her clients is knowing that “the most memorable travel experiences often come from unexpected adventures and genuine connections with the people you encounter.” We couldn’t agree more! The small, unexpected moments often become the stories we tell for years to come. 

It’s in those moments that travel truly comes to life. Laughing with friends over a beachside dinner, exploring the neon-lit streets of a new city all by yourself, seeing a loved one’s face light up in a place they’ve always dreamed of visiting. Travel has a way of shaping us, of reminding us just how big and beautifully connected the world really is.

These special memories may belong to your clients, but they leave a lasting mark on you, too. "The relationships I build with my clients are my favorite thing about being a travel advisor," said Sharon Krol, Owner of Journey Life Travel, LLC, an Independent Agency in the Avoya Network. "I love when clients share their family photos and experiences from the vacations I plan for them." 

In a world that moves fast, travel gives us time to slow down and feel. Whether it’s your first big adventure or your fiftieth, each journey becomes a chapter in your life’s story.  

So, to every travel advisor who takes the time to listen, guide, and plan unforgettable trips, thank you! You help us see more of the world, connect more deeply with the people in it, and live more fulfilling lives. Your passion makes a difference in every journey, and we’re grateful for the memories you help create every single day. 

If you’ve ever been the go-to person for trip planning, love helping others discover new places, or simply feel that pull to explore the world, there’s a place for you in the travel industry. With Avoya, you can turn your love for travel into a rewarding business of your own. Ready to get started? Visit www.AvoyaNetwork.com or call 1-855-875-5861 today to learn more.
