Don't be fooled by the low number of reviews for Mindy. She doesn't have hundreds of IC's working with her, just a few folks that were selected to complement the vision she has for her agency. We are more like a co-op and family than a host and IC's. With My Vacation Lady, you will never be just a cog in the wheel of a huge corporation. Mindy's goal is for every IC's to succeed.

I have been working with My Vacation for one year, and making the move from my prior host agency to this one was the best change I could've made! They have provided me with guidance, encouraged me to create a business plan to grow my client base, and have helped me increase my industry knowledge. I love that ICs are provided QUALITY leads and that we are equipped with the tools to meet the needs of those leads as well as our own clients.
The owners of this agency are honest, forthcoming, and are committed to the success of their independent contractors.
I came from a much larger agency where I was never treated as anything but a number. Here, I know that I'm valued, appreciated, and encouraged to grow. In my prior agency, we were controlled...told what we could post on social media and what vendors we had to use. Here, I have the freedom to focus on the things I want to sell, using the vendors I want to use.
I'd highly recommend this agency for anyone looking for an amazing support system!

I worked with a small host agency for 8 years before I found My Vacation Lady. (I actually found MVL on here!) While I learned a lot during that time and got to travel, it was nothing compared to the time I have been with My Vacation Lady. At My Vacation Lady, Mindy was hands-on with me from the start. She had no problem answering any questions that I had, giving me advice on what to do (or what not to do!), and I have a sense of appreciation for the care that she has for her IC's. We are not just numbers at MVL but you are truly a travel agent that she WANTS to see succeed. I can honestly say that I have learned more and been way more successful in the last year as an agent than I ever did the 8 years before! My Vacation Lady is not your run of the mill agency, its the absolute best!

If you are looking for an actual travel family, this is the place to go! :)

MVL is thriving post pandemic and my business is growing by leaps and bounds! I'm on track to have my biggest year ever in the 9 years I've been in business. Mindy is always available for support and guidance. She has strong connections with industry leaders which gives us ICs clout! We have regular webinars with suppliers and tour operators which is remarkable given that MVL is a small host. I've been with Mindy and MVL for over 4 years and I'm very happy with my decision.

My goal for you in 2023 or 2024- the absolute latest, is to earn your way to be a million $$ seller and get accepted to Global Travel Marketplace. I know you can do it- you're a Rock Star!

I joined My Vacation lady as an independent consultant because I was looking to build my own business while joining a small, boutique agency. It is a very personalized approach to the business that gives you the connections and expertise you need, while allowing you to grow your business the way you want to without sales pressures. It is a small, but tight knit group with great members and you still having access to a global network of connections through Mindy's 20 years of relationships and Travel Leaders. Mindy is an expert in honeymoons and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the popular honeymoon locations which she readily shares. If you are looking for a true boutique agency with personalized attention, My Vacation Lady is the agency for you.

When looking for a host agency, bigger is not always better! Sometime, smaller is stronger. We are a tight knit group that works together to find the best way for every IC to find their strengths and explore those to make them successful in this crazy business. I'm still here with Mindy @ My Vacation Lady and I think that says a lot. I am on track this year to have my best year EVER! Do you want to find out how to have your best year....let Mindy help you find your strength. My original review is still a testament to her as well, so I copied and pasted it just in case it's deleted with this new one. ----- Don't be fooled by the low number of reviews for Mindy. She doesn't have hundreds of IC's working with her, just a few folks that were selected to complement the vision she has for her agency. We are more like a co-op and family than a host and IC's. With My Vacation Lady, you will never be just a cog in the wheel of a huge corporation. Mindy's goal is for every IC's to succeed. Join us and see how we can help you!

Mindy and the whole My Vacation Lady family are just amazing. Mindy and I first met when I was looking to switch from my previous host agency to a non-MLM one. As others have mentioned - you can't be fooled into thinking the quantity of reviews MVL has means anything. The MVL team is more of a family than anything else and Mindy offers personalized mentorship to each and every one of her ICs. In the 2.5 months since I started with MVL, I already feel much more comfortable and confident in what I am doing.

I started as a sub-agent of one of My Vacation Lady’s independent contractors and from the beginning, I always felt like I was a member of the team.
I am learning so much. Before I started with MVL I was a complete blank slate. Now I feel much more confident. I LOVE doing this Mindy! I am so thankful for you, Monica and all of the resources you’ve provided. I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity. I feel like 2021 will be my year!!!

When we first started looking to join a host agency, we were positive that we wanted to only sell Disney. My mother knows Mindy and suggested that we talk to her. We joined My Vacation Lady in February 2018 and our first booking was not Disney at all. With Mindy’s help we booked $14,500 two week honeymoon to Thailand. We still LOVE Disney but found out that there is so much more to sell, and earn better commission on, than only Disney. With Mindy’s guidance and mentoring, we earned our IATA card within the first 12 months while working our travel business only part time. It was the best decision to join My Vacation Lady!

J&J, I'm excited to have you re-invigorated to start anew in 2021. Working full time and having a new baby and building your travel business is tough but with your motivation and commitment, I know you'll be back on top!

I started with another host agency, and a few months in, I began to have some concerns (no-contract signing, unclear policies, etc.). I reached out on social media for some advice and met Vicki. Vicki listened to all my concerns and reached out to Mindy from My Vacation Lady (her host agency owner) to see if she could help as well. Mindy was terrific from the get-go; she listened, explained what the standard procedures for host agencies are and where to get additional information should I need it. Then Mindy asked me what I wanted, what niche I was interested in, and my goals. She gave some excellent feedback, and I knew I had to work with her. I asked if she would take a chance on a "newbie," and to my delight, she said yes. It was the best thing I have ever done. She has been with me every step of the way, giving advice, sharing her experiences, and is always open to my inventive ideas. The team has a great relationship with each other, they support one another, and I have never felt alone when trying to figure something out. I am so happy to be a part of My Vacation Lady.

Danielle, this past month has been thrilling for me as a boutique host agency owner. You are absorbing everything we talk about and it's so exciting to see you talking all the right steps toward building your travel business. I truly wish I can clone you and mentor a couple more newbies to learn this business!

Vickie, thanks for sharing our team philosophy. You, more than anyone in our group, knows that we are super selective in who we ask to join our team. In the past few years, you have grown beyond your own expectations and I'm so excited to be on that ride with you.
