Then, Travel Planner d$, Upon a Star Agency Owner Jenn, and agency collaborator Derek discuss the biggest myths surrounding using a Travel Agent, starting with both Jenn's & d$'s "origin stories" of how they became involved in Travel, and even how they met and began working together. 

Myths like "Does it cost extra money to us a TA?", and "Can't I just do it on my own?", and "Do TAs sell you things you don't need", and even "How do I find a good Travel Agent?".

Plus, how we Travel Agents sometimes lose money by making sure your trips are amazing, and even the age old question of "How do I become a Travel agent??"
