Life is Better Traveling 

"Building Successful Travel Businesses through Systems and Resources."

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.  


"Being a part of the LIBT team is amazing!!!  We are all becoming such great friends and co-workers. 

I love being a part of the LIBT team!!"
