Q5: Think back: Tell us how you got into the travel business: How did you catch the travel bug?
#TWchats @TravelAgeWest

A5: Travel Leaders-branded franchise travel agencies can trace its beginnings to 1984 as the Carlson franchise system "Ask Mr. Foster" Travel, which itself was North America's first travel agency chain established in 1888. #TWchats


A5. Travel is in our DNA. @geoffrey_kent was born while his parents were on safari. #TWChats

A5: Long story; back in 1986 working on the pier in Vancouver during Expo86; fell in love with cruising and cruise professionals. #TWchats @TravelAgeWest


A5: @TravelAgeWest Our story began in 1873 as the Netherlands-America Steamship Company, and 145 years later we've grown into a widely recognized leader in the #cruise industry, providing premium itineraries, accomodations and service! #TWchats


A5: @TravelAgeWest We caught the travel bug 70 years ago! This year we're celebrating our 70th anniversary, and since Anna C took to the seas in 1948 we've been flying the Italian flag across the seven seas! #TWchats


A5: @TravelAgeWest, I caught the travel bug when I was a young child and my mother took our family to 31 states, Europe & Asia! I got into the travel business when a headhunter called me for a position in the legal department at HAL ... and the rest is history! #TWchats


A5: We've been in the business for nearly 60 years, but we like to think we were "born" loving travel. #TWchats

A5. I took my first international trip at 15 and I was hooked on the adventure and the wonder. Can't believe I get to work in the travel space every day. #TWchats #pinchme

A5: I’ve truly always had a zest for travel and adventure! When I was given a chance early on in my career, I shortly realized the travel industry was my calling. #TWchats @TravelAgeWest

A5: AmaWaterways was founded in 2002 by three families, but our #rivercruise story began before that! President Rudi Schreiner was born at the heart of the Danube. His love of travel drew him to places far & wide, and led him to create unique tour experiences in #Europe. #TWChats


A5. Once upon a time in Iceland, we saw a waterfall called Skógafoss and it all went uphill from there. #TWChats


A5: Since our inception in 1969, we’ve always been about that travel life. 🏝#TWchats

A5: I grew up in the business and said I would never join the family business. Thankfully, I have learned to never say "never." @KimberlyWetty #TWchats


A5 I’ve always loved travel, ever since my parents got me hooked!
But my 1st job was as a Content Creator for a river cruise line and now I love working with brands around the world!

A5 part 2: We hear time and time again from our #FoxStars that one magical trip ignited their passion for travel. #TWchats

A5: I come from a family of diplomats and explorers. It was in my DNA from the beginning! I grew up hearing stories of my mom and dad growing up in far flung locales and had to find my own way to see the world. (hm) #twchats

A5. I was born with the #travelbug! I've had wanderlust all of my life, traveled all of my adult life for work and pleasure, so it's no surprise that have ended up helping others travel. #twchats

A5: @TravelAgeWest, I am a third-generation travel agency owner. I can remember my very first cruise as a child and sitting in my grandfather's agency stacking brochures! It's in my blood! #TWchats

A5: I've always embraced the fact that travel is the only thing that you can spend money on that makes you richer! #TWChats


A5: Yes! It was my first cruise at the age of 14 from New York City to Bermuda that made me fall in love with travel, ships, and more specifically the magic of cruising! #TWchats https://t.co/xMw2aTTSsC
A5. I've lived and traveled all over the world. So when friends said,"Take me with you next time", I thought I need to monetize this! And voila! Someday Vacations was born! #twchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A5: It's genetic; I come from a long line of folks who went on crazy, epic adventures. But personally, it started when I was a kid. We went on road and camping trips every year, and hiked a local mountain twice a month. #TWchats
