🌏 Behind the Scenes of a Travel Advisor 🇵🇭✈️

Being a travel advisor is so much more than booking flights and hotels. A big part of my job happens behind the scenes — learning, exploring, building relationships, and making sure I can recommend experiences I truly believe in.

I’m incredibly honored to be one of just eight travel advisors to be selected to represent the USA at PHITEX 2026 in Manila, Philippines! 🇵🇭

This is where the real work begins.

Over the course of the conference and destination experience, we’re meeting with tourism leaders, local experts, and the incredible professionals who actually create the tours, design the programs, operate the experiences, and showcase the destinations that our travelers will one day enjoy.

We’re asking questions. We’re learning new products. We’re discovering destinations beyond the obvious. We’re touring properties, experiencing activities, building relationships with local partners, and gaining firsthand knowledge that you simply can’t get from a brochure or website.

And yes — it’s hard work! 😄

But it’s also one of the most rewarding parts of being a travel professional.

Every conversation and every experience adds to my knowledge so that when my travelers tell me what they’re looking for, I can go beyond simply saying, “Here’s a place you can visit.”

I can say, “I’ve been there. I’ve met the people who make this experience happen. I know what makes it special — and I know how to help make it an incredible trip for you.”

The Philippines is an incredible destination, and I’m excited to be exploring it alongside fellow travel professionals and the people who know it best.

This is why investing in a professional travel advisor matters.
We don’t just sell travel. We continually learn travel, experience travel, and build the relationships that help us create better journeys for our clients.

And there’s so much more to discover!

Andalusia, SPAIN—-Hike. Climb. Repeat.

Caminito del Rey is a reminder that when you’re in Spain, drive. Rent a car, hire a private driver, or hop on a bus for a day trip—but get out of the cities. There is so much more to see once you head into the countryside.

Originally built in the early 1900s to allow workers access to a hydroelectric plant, Caminito del Rey earned its nickname as “the world’s most dangerous walkway” before being fully restored and reopened in 2015. Today, it’s a spectacular (and safe!) path clinging to dramatic limestone cliffs above the Guadalhorce River.

The hike delivers jaw-dropping scenery at every turn—sheer rock walls, narrow catwalks, and sweeping canyon views that make you pause more than once just to take it all in. Pictures don’t do it justice.

We wrapped up in El Chorro, grabbing our backpacks and climbing gear before heading out again—this time trading hiking boots for harnesses and continuing the adventure on the rock. Spain, a little out of the city, is pure magic.
