Provident & Thrift

On my birthday, I signed up to be a travel agent, or as they are called nowadays, a "Travel Advisor". Most of my family and friends know that I used to travel to Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland before the pandemic and I see this as a means to get those trips started up again. 

I have completed several of the trainings and can also sell cruises and other vacation packages like Disney. I named this blog "A Provident Trip" for the context that "provident" implies foresight, careful planning, and a focus on ensuring a pleasant and worry-free experience. The "Thrift" part in this title is that I am thrifty by nature; I like to save money and want to help you do the same.

Look, I know most people are able to book their own travel and probably feel they don't need a travel agent. The last time I used a travel agent was when we booked our honeymoon in the days before the internet! Since that time, I have booked our travel myself. And as my family and some friends can attest, I have built some awesome and fun-filled travel itineraries. With the competition of people like myself who book their own, it has caused the travel agencies to step up and offer bigger discounts only available through agents. This is how the TA job has survived the internet.

I do want to save you money but I don't want to spam your FB with travel deals so if you want to see travel deals that are sent to me from the agency, then subscribe to this blog. I've created a separate Instagram you can sub to as well.

And just so you know, I earn commissions from an agency; I do not charge you a fee. Just message me if you want a quote because as I said, I can (in most cases) get better discounts from the sites I access as a Travel Advisor.
