Happy two year anniversary to us! Two years ago today I took a leap of faith and signed on the dotted line and JMart Travels was created.
Coming out of the COVID era after my management position was "eliminated" and I was demoted along with many others nationwide in nearly all industries, I knew I wanted to create a business of my own and have a separate stream of income to minimize the impacts of the whims of corporate America.
There were many months of planning and researching and study that went into creating JMart Travels before I took that first step that led to the official launch of the business later in the Spring of 2022. There are so many vendors and certifications and organizations and associations and accreditations that go along with the travel industry! But every day I knew I was on to something in being able to create a business centered around helping others do that I've long loved most about life: plan trips and travel!
What's not to love about planning a vacation?!
There's been one common denominator in this storied career of mine: each chapter has included lots of amazing trips!
-St Bernard Catholic School trips to Washington DC, New York City, Space Camp, Walt Disney World, Camp Ondessonk and MORE!
-Holiday World - industry trade shows and conferences and conventions in Orlando, San Diego, San Antonio, Branson, New York City, Pittsburgh, Las Angeles, Ft Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Chicago, Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Silver Dollar City, Cedar Point, Six Flags here, there and everywhere, Sea World Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio, Kennywood, Dollywood, Legoland, Universal Studios California, Universal Studios Florida, and more!
-US Foods - award winning trips to Mackinac Island, Cabo San Lucas, Switzerland, Orlando, Nassau, Bahamas, Punta Cana, and more!
This list doesn't even include the many many trips taken with family, friends and church. My love for travel has roots as deep as the ugly of the woodgrain on the side of the wagon from those earliest trips I remember.
You see, I don't sell travel. You can buy travel anywhere on the Internet. I provide guidance, first hand destination knowledge, and planning assistance based on my own journeys of the last 50 years so you can have a stress free vacation. And what I know for sure is there really has been nothing terrible about these two years and I can't wait to see where we go from here!
