I am so happy to have called Second Star Wishes my home agency for the past 3 years. I cannot imagine being anywhere else. The training I received as a new agent was unmatched, and the family-feel within the agency Andrea has built is entirely responsible for my growth as an agent. If I was starting over today, I would absolutely choose SSW again!

As someone with a Human Resources background and a driven mindset, I was very picky about which host agency to go with. I was looking for an agency with an excellent training program, positive working team culture, and a leadership team that leads by example. I am so confident and proud to say that Second Star Wishes delivers this for their employees and MORE. Everything from onboarding to training, mentorship, and even beyond is organized, structured, and sets you up for success. No one will leave you hanging, you are surrounded by a diverse group of talented Travel Advisors that will bend over backwards for you but will also encourage you to go from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.
One of my proudest accomplishments has been the growth in my annual sales. In 2024, I generated over $89,000 in booked travel. By 2025, that number had grown to more than $330,000 in sales, which remains my highest fiscal year to date.
I couldn't have reached those goals without the support of the leadership and the team. They truly want you to be your best self with plenty of opportunities to learn and grow.
Whether you are just starting out or you have been a Travel Advisor and you're looking for a different working environment, I highly recommend Second Star Wishes!
I 100% recommend Second Star Wishes to anyone looking for a small agency where there is a healthy community driven culture. This is my personal second agency home and I couldn’t be happier with all the resources provided. From in depth onboarding and training, supplier resources, shared team resources like travel guide examples, photo albums, supplier groups, mastermind sessions for continued education… literally the list goes on and on. There are also very clearly defined terms like what happens if you ever decided it wasn’t the right fit or to step away. There is no guessing as that framework is laid out in the contract. There is also a sliding scale for commissions based off of the amount you bring into the agency, that gets renewed more often than only one time a year based on sales. The level of support and mentorship you receive as you grow in the profession and gain clients is in my opinion, 100% aligned with the support you receive in return. You know exactly what is expected of you when you choose to join the team and get to decide if that aligns with how you want to run your business. I can’t recommend here enough. If honesty, transparency, collaboration, and a healthy team culture are important to you, this is the place for you.
I have been working with Second Star Wishes for 6 years now, and before I applied to this agency, I did a ton of research on other agencies. The common trend I saw was many agencies had hundreds of agents, and while this isn't bad for business, as a new agent, I was confident I would be "just a number". I wanted to feel comfortable, grow my business and receive proper training. Little did I know, I would be getting all of that and MORE with Second Star Wishes.
The training given here is unmatched. We weren't just told to complete Disney's College of Knowledge; we were taught how to be a travel agent. From how to market, conduct a consult, quote and plan trips, all the way to building long-lasting relationships with clients and suppliers, I felt fully confident and that I had support every step of the way.
I have made incredible friendships, have grown my business, and am still learning and expanding every day. If you are looking for a host agency, Second Star Wishes has changed my life.
