I am Carol Born, the owner of Born for Travel. I didn’t always want to be a travel agent when I grew up. Let me explain.
I have always loved to travel. From camping with my family when I was tiny, visiting Disneyland when I was in kindergarten, to visiting Brazil when I was in second grade. I have clear and vivid memories of those amazing experiences. As I grew up my love of travel continued. I expanded my experiences to include cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and of course Disney World. I would often say to my husband that when I grew up, I wanted to be a Disney travel agent.
I had a passion for planning not only my travel but helping my family and friends with their trips. In 2014 I had the opportunity to join a company to learn how to be a travel agent. It was a great experience; however, they were a storefront and I was remote. I missed the community and the learning you get from a group. I tried a couple of other companies, but they were not quite what I was looking for. In 2018 I decided to start Born for Travel.
I love to plan travel for my clients. However, I find I have a passion for helping others create the travel business of THEIR dream. I started out with little training and learned SO much on my own. I thought if I could create a company that could help others in a supportive encouraging enviornment that would be very fulfilling!
So I did! I created a company that offers remote working opportunities but still has a thriving team feel. One that avoids drama and focuses on helping each other learn and grow. We have fair and competitive commission splits with the ability to achieve higher levels. We started out focusing on Disney and Universal Studios but as we grew so did what we wanted to book. So we expanded our options.
We consider ourselves a team and strive to support each other professionally and personally. We give you tools so you can begin your travel professional career in your first week. We don’t do everything, but everything we do, we do with our whole heart!
