Would you like to join a dynamic team of travel professionals?
Great News! You have just found Life is Better Traveling Travel Agency and we are Growing!
If you are thinking of becoming a travel agent or looking for a new team to build your current travel business, you are in the right place.
The search for the right travel agency can be tiring and frustrating. I'm Mary Yohannan, the owner and founder of Life is Better Traveling travel agency, and I know how you feel.
When I first started my travel business, I went with a host travel agency that included thousands of travel agents. I felt lost in the numbers and had to wait days to get answers. I noticed that most of the travel agents were working full-time and barely making part-time pay.
I felt discouraged, and scared, but I also knew that it wasn't the place for me. After a tedious 18 month search for an authentic place to grow, and coming up with nothing, I founded Life is Better Traveling.
Life is Better Traveling is a home more than a host for travel agents to grow their businesses. We work as a team, and put together resources that you can implement into your travel business on day 1. We value our agents through rewards programs and give them amazing opportunities to build a business and earn an income they desire.
Today our team is comprised of travel agents across the United States. They are supported with training, education, and motivation. Together we have achieved big goals, grown our businesses, and have been recognized with multiple industry awards.
If you are looking for a travel agency that is 100% supportive and will help you grow, then Life is Better Traveling is the right fit for you. Don't settle for less.

About Mary Yohannan, owner of Life is Better Traveling
Mary started in the travel industry in 2010. When she picked her host agency she was one of 4000 agents. She quickly learned that if she wanted to succeed, she had to teach herself how to market, where her ideal clients were, and that she had to charge service fees.
After three years with her host agency, Mary decided to go out on her own. She wanted to build a boutique travel agency that provided comprehensive trainings on marketing, sales, and customer service.
Mary has built a multi-million dollar travel agency with multiple industry awards and top sales with various suppliers. She is dedicated to her team and love to see when they succeed.
What our team is saying...
Rebecca Tucker
Hilton Head and Disney Specialist
I joined the team at Life is Better Traveling 2.5 years ago. I was looking for a way to get started in the travel business while I am at home with my babies, and Mary, our agency owner, knew exactly where I was coming from. She is a working mom, too, and understands the craziness! While I feel I am often torn in so many directions, Mary is nothing but encouraging and helpful. She is available via call, email, or text and responds quickly. She readily answers all questions, big and small.

The amount of support Mary and the team give is out of this world! Not only are there regular zoom calls with the team but I also feel totally comfortable texting anyone with questions! Mary has a whole portal set up for new agents to train and she records every mastermind session!
