A year ago, I found myself at a crossroads in my career. I never truly imagined becoming an independent travel agent… until I decided to give it a go. Looking back now, I can honestly say it has been one of the most rewarding decisions I have made.
This past year has been exciting, empowering, and yes — at times, quite daunting. Learning how to market myself, show up on social media, and build a client base from the ground up has pushed me well outside my comfort zone. But it has also given me a deep appreciation for what it means to run a small business and back yourself.
I have been incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by a supportive network of friends and family who have recommended me to such wonderful new clients. Your trust, encouragement, and belief in what I do means more than you know.
Professionally, this first year has been full of learning — from understanding the basics of small business ownership to refining how I deliver thoughtful, personalised travel experiences. I know there is still so much more to learn, and I am genuinely excited about what the next chapter holds.
It has also been a year of memorable experiences. I was fortunate enough to be invited on a famil trip to Fukuoka, Japan (with a recommended itinerary coming very soon), spent a day at the Maleny Kiosk connecting with locals, and added another beautiful destination to my growing list of countries — Taiwan.
To everyone who has booked, referred, supported, liked, shared, or simply cheered me on over the past year — thank you. Here’s to continued growth, meaningful connections, and many more travel stories ahead. ✈️🌏
