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!!"

    Kayla is wonderful! She is knowledgeable about the destinations, is quick to reply, and very organized. Our trip was well planned and customized, all documentation and information neatly organized and there was no stress. I highly recommend her to anyone that is planning a vacation.

    Melissa is the best! She was very thorough with the planning, asking what each member of our family was interested in and matching up activities and meals to those interests. She helped us form a game plan for each park, each day. She really shared in our joy and excitement. And to close the loop, when we arrived home she wanted to hear all about the trip to make sure we had a great time and that she didn't miss a detail. We highly recommend Melissa to make your WDW dreams come true!

    Our European river cruise with added stays in Budapest and Nuremberg was perfectly put together by Mary. Her attention to detail and follow-through with our requests was superb. Private transfers that she arranged were completely dependable and professional. Hotels that she booked were lovely and located conveniently close to the attractions we wanted to see. We highly recommend Mary and her company for your next travel arrangements!

    This was our first overseas trip and Mary did an incredible job of guiding two newbies in the confusing world of international travel. Everything went seamlessly and she covered everything on our wish list based on simply talking with us for a few hours. We'll definitely use her services again and have been recommending her to all our friends since our return.

    Mary has provided great support and guidance as I ventured out as a solo traveler. This type of trip brings concerns of safety, convenience and most importantly, enjoyment! She helped me find the right trip with a reliable company and completed all of my flight scheduling. I knew that she was only a phone call away should I have any concerns. I had a great time and I look forward to additional trips soon.Thanks Mary!
