The good ole saying is everything happens for a reason, right? Most times in life, we find this saying to be true. Just ask the Travel Goddess, Nik Morales, who went to an open house for United Airlines as a support for her friend. It was an unconventional open house to where the candidates were actually on the plane completing the test, then boredom struck. Nik thought, “What the hell, since I’m here I’ll just take the test.” A few days go by, when out of the blue she received a call from her friend who asks if she had heard back from the airlines. Nik replied, “No,” her friend goes to tell her that she had heard back and didn’t get the position, so Nik most likely didn’t either; well, didn’t the friend get fooled because when she hung up, United was on her phone offering her the position!
After years of building her skills with United, American Airlines and some of the best travel corporations in the world, Nik moved to New York. While there, a co-worker mentions as a joke that Nik had enough clients to venture out on her own. After much thought, prayer, and faith, Nik moved out on her own to build her empire, The Travel Agency! “This process was like learning how to swim. You are never going to learn how to swim if you continue to hold on to the edge of the pool. You’ve gotta let go of the edge of the pool and just tread water, and that’s what I did!”
