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


A5: Being able to travel with family part of growing up, always had an interest and just continued as it was in my blood! – JB #TWchats

A5: Travel Leaders Group advisors love the travel, flexibility, business entrepreneurship and making dreams come true. #TWchats

A5. It's in our DNA. A&K founder @Geoffrey_Kent was born on safari in Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) and grew up in the Highlands of Kenya. https://t.co/KJqELgZ303 #TWChats


A5: @TravelAgeWest, our love of #travel started 146 years ago as a shipping and passenger line, and today we are an award-winning #cruise line that explores all corners of the globe so we can share our passion for exploration! #TWchats


A5: @TravelAgeWest We caught the travel bug crossing the Atlantic on our first ship, Anna C, from Genoa to Rio de Janeiro in 1948! That's definitely the moment when we knew we were addicted to travel. #TWchats


A5: While living in England, our Founder & CEO Valerie Wilson couldn’t find an agency to help her travel plan. So she became her own agent! Her new passion naturally led her to create VWT. Read more about her story in our @TheCEOMagazineG feature! https://t.co/ZT9pSM2Bxw #TWchats


replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A5: Grew up in a military family where we lived in Germany for 3 years. Little did I know then how close everything was in Europe (I was 6 – 8 years old) so every weekend outing felt like someplace new! #Twchats

A5: Study abroad and family trips are two of the main reasons our team got into travel. Once you travel, it’s hard not to catch the travel bug! #TWChats


replying to @nexionllc @TravelAgeWest A5: Desire to learn about and travel the world. Sharing my expertise with others #Twchats

A5: I’m one of the lucky ones who caught the travel bug early on traveling with my family each summer! Who would agree - once you catch the travel bug, it doesn’t seem to wear off? #TWchats via @TravelAgeWest

A5: I traveled. As a journalist, as a businessman, as a bum. And I want to travel til I make that final journey to God alone knows where…. #TWchats

A5: With a 30-year sailing legacy, you could very well say that we at Seabourn were born to embark on the wonderful quest of discovering the world, in ultra-luxury style of course! Learn about our travel story - we hope to become part of yours: https://t.co/4Im9fOmeGn #TWchats

@TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A5: I was born with the travel bug, but I looked into the travel industry in 2010 just out of curiosity and thought I'd dabble in it. Nine years later I'm hooked 😂 #TWChats
I just wrote about this on my blog recently.

A5: I got into the travel business early – 1982 when I was in high school - when I started as an embarkation agent for Carnival. Even as a kid I loved to travel so the job was a perfect fit! #TWchats

@TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A5 – I worked at a hotel in Key West to learn the operational aspects and the fundamentals of customer service. Listening to the variety of stories the guests’ stories stoked my curiosity for finding out what other areas of the world looked like!

A5 Straight out of college, I saw an ad in the newspaper (yes, I'm old) for inside sales at @alamocares Spent 9 wonderful years there doing travel agency marketing. No turning back after that - it's in my blood! #TWchats

A5: I know what its like to travel for business, here are some tips #TWchats https://t.co/v8A0IrH3Kv

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A5: @thetriptrotter says it happened when she was 12, in Paris on a trip w/ Grandma. "We tried to ask our driver to take us to “La Tour Eiffel” in French, but instead took us to “La Tour d’Argent,” (most expensive restaurant)" #tzelltravels #twchats https://t.co/4JmsUOMXOq


A5: I responded to an ad in @EditorPublisher seeking an assistant editor. So [blessed] the deputy managing editor @twtravelnews took a chance on a cub reporter #TWchats

A5 I worked in customer service for a theme park and for a major cruise line for 10 years and I was hooked. I decided that I wanted to be able to hand craft trips rather than just help with just parts of it. #twchats #yourvacationhelper https://t.co/Bb14wu7Ikq

replying to @AllianzTravelUS @AllianzTravelUS @TravelAgeWest A5. Well, we were hiking the northlands one day and there was this absolutely heavy infestation of mosquitos and we were bitten so many times we stopped counting - think that's when it happened. #TWchats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @TravelAgeWest A5: I’ve worked for travel destinations - the #themepark industry - since I was 19. Love parks, rides, the people and my career. Wouldn’t change a thing. #TWChats #IAAPA 🎠🎢🎡
A5. I caught the travel bug during my junior year abroad in Cairo, Egypt! After traveling and living on a few different continents as a diplomat, friends started asking, "Take me with you the next time you go somewhere". We're still going strong since 2006! #TWchats

A5: My Granny took me on a @GreyhoundBus trip to Cleveland and I was hooked! I became an accountant in the meantime but it was always in the back of my mind to be a travel consultant. #TWchats 🚌

A5: For our travel specialist Lorey, her mom encouraged her to sell travel instead of shoes! We're so glad she did - 36 years later! #TWchats
