As a complete newcomer to the travel industry, coming from a background with zero experience in travel or hospitality, I was a bit intimidated when I decided to start my own travel business. Joining Anchor Travel Experts has been an absolute game-changer. I had to learn an entirely new set of skills from scratch—everything from booking systems to client management—and the owner, Kristi, has been incredible. She's always available to answer my questions, provide guidance, or point me in the right direction, which has made the learning curve so much more manageable.
What I love most is the sense of community here. Our team of agents is spread out across the country, but we make it a point to connect virtually once a month on Teams. These meetings are super helpful for sharing tips, discussing trends, and just building that camaraderie that keeps things fun and collaborative.
I never feel like I'm out on my own, flailing around trying to figure things out—there's always support when I need it. At the same time, Anchor Travel Experts truly respects that this is my business. Kristi encourages and supports me to grow and develop it according to my own vision, without micromanaging or imposing her ideas. It's the perfect balance of independence and backing.
If you're looking for a host agency that offers genuine support while letting you run your show, I highly recommend Anchor Travel Experts. It's been empowering and exciting!

I searched for a Host Agency for a long amount of time. I kept getting no where, no one would return my calls. I researched some promising ones just to find out they were an MLM and that was not what I was looking for. I stumbled upon a YouTube video from Cindy Williams from Wanderlust Campus and I took her advice. I began searching for Host Agencies near me. The very first one I found was Kristi at Anchor Travel Experts and saw that she is a Wanderlust Campus certified agency. It was truly meant to be. I have had so much support and success with Kristi as my mentor. She has built a solid agency with wonderful values and morals. It is so much fun and such a privilege to get to live my dream of travel with such amazing people.
