A Note From Amanda

 

When I started Living With The Magic Vacations, my goal was simple — to build a team of family travel planners who truly love what they do! I wanted to create more than just a business. I wanted to build a warm, supportive space where our advisors could grow, thrive, and do work they are genuinely proud of.

Because of that vision, our Lead and Elite Lead Advisors are shining examples of what’s possible! They’ve grown not only as trusted family travel planners, but also as leaders, mentors, and collaborators. I’m so proud of their achievements — not just in sales, but in heart, hustle, and the way they lift each other up.

So take a moment to get to know the incredible team behind Living With The Magic. They are truly something special!

In addition, they bring exceptional sales skills, unwavering integrity, and a genuine commitment to their craft. But what truly sets them apart? They mentor fellow advisors, lead with generosity, and consistently go above and beyond for every single client!

Because of their curiosity and love of travel, our Elite Leads are always expanding their knowledge. Whether that’s sailing a new cruise itinerary, exploring a new city, or diving deep into family travel trends — they never stop learning! So when you partner with an Elite Lead family travel planner, you get more than just expertise. You get vision, heart, and someone who turns big dreams into seamless, magical realities!

What Makes Us Different

As dedicated family travel planners, we believe travel should be personal — not cookie-cutter! That’s why we take time to truly get to know every client. We want to understand their dreams, their challenges, and what makes them light up. Because of that, our family travel planners don’t just book trips — they craft experiences with heart! In addition, every recommendation is backed by firsthand knowledge, ongoing training, and a genuine passion for stress-free, joy-filled travel. From our warm team culture to our concierge level service, everything we do is designed to make your journey magical from the very first conversation!

What We Look For in an Advisor:

  • Passion for Travel: A deep love for new destinations and a genuine excitement to share that with clients!
  • Great Communication: The ability to listen well, understand what families need, and explain things clearly.
  • Attention to Detail: Nothing gets missed — every aspect of your trip is carefully planned and organized.
  • Problem Solving: Calm, resourceful, and ready to handle anything unexpected with a smile!
  • Love of Learning: Always staying current on new destinations, travel trends, and the best tools available.

So by building a team with these qualities, we make sure every client gets the very best care and support. In short, our family travel planners turn travel dreams into reality — one magical trip at a time!
