Group Travel Method

I totally get it. I was right there a couple of years ago. I had just gone on my first solo international trip to London and I came back ready to shout it from the rooftops...INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ISN'T HARD!!

My friends and family, however, were not convinced. That's when the lightbulb went off..."I'll TAKE them to Europe and THEN they'll see."

Fast forward to me traveling for free as the host of private and public group trips and RACKING up the frequent flier miles so I can ALSO travel for free on my own solo trips but...ya know...in business class.

World traveler, writer and dog mom to two pit bull mixes (Basil and Luna), I call Lancaster, PA home. Watching shows on travel or the paranormal OR BOTH with a glass of wine is kind of the best.

Long story, short…six years ago, I took the leap (not gracefully, I might add) into international travel and I never looked back.

Now I’m creating custom trip itineraries, guidebooks and hosting group trips. Travel changed my life and I know it can do that for you too!

Enter your bullet points here..

“Brighter Things provides a quality vacation with a personalized touch. From the first meeting about my trip, Jessy from Brighter Things truly listened to me when I spoke of places I wanted to visit and things that I was interested in doing on my trip. She created a detailed itinerary and came back to me with a list of options and I was able to choose what I got to do.

Jessy did a fabulous job of planning each stop to keep our days moving, but not too busy that we couldn’t explore and really see the country. Jessy also was very knowledgeable about our destination and was able to give advice about what was worth our money and time.

It can be a bit intimidating to visit other countries but Brighter Things made it super easy and affordable. I’m already saving for my next trip!”

“To celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, we wanted to take a trip to Scotland. Being novice international travelers, however, we didn’t have much of an idea of where to start. Fortunately, Brighter Things came to our rescue!

Jessy handled everything from start to finish. She took care of flight and hotel reservations, established a full itinerary of the points of interests that were on our list of things to see, offered tips on what to pack, outlined restaurant stops to satisfy the local dining experiences we had requested, provided information on the most economical currency exchange practices and offered tips on how save money on bringing or mailing gifts back to the States.

It was a stress-free experience and probably the best wedding anniversary gifts we have shared. When we again travel abroad, Brighter Things will be the first phone call we make.” -William and Lily Annville, Pennsylvania

Those "flying" in First Class will be getting concierge service in the form of one on one coaching sessions with me. Four 60-minute sessions will be all yours to schedule whenever you need them for any questions you have or if you want me to audit your first couple of itineraries or maybe you want to walk through your first trip together before you head out.

Whatever you need...I'm here for it...you're a VIP.

These sessions would normally cost you $400 but they're yours for free with the First Class Package.

I’m not sure I want to start a travel side hustle. Is The Group Travel Method right for me?
Here’s the truth…I didn’t start planning travel for people with the intention of starting a business. I just loved travel and wanted to share that with my friends!

This course will turn you into an incredibly savvy traveler, creative planner and show you how to utilize points and miles for your personal benefit. No need to make a dime off it…use it just for yourself!

Don’t be shocked though if people start asking you if you’ll help them with their trips.
I'm not a people person...can I still do this?
#1 you can totally just make itineraries for people and groups to make extra money that way. You'd still be able to use all my mile/points info for your personal benefit regardless.

#2 I started out taking groups of my friends and family on trips which wasn't so bad on the "people" person scale. I already knew and loved those people. Haha... Maybe you could consider starting there and see how you feel after that.
Will I be a travel agent after I complete this course?
Nope, I’m going to take you through the process of how I started and continue to do my job…the way I do it. I’m not a travel agent nor do I have any desire to be one.

There’s a lot that goes into being a travel agent that I’m not interested in and don’t have time for. This isn’t my only income stream so this way works for me and I believe it would work for you. That’s why I’m kind of calling this as a “start your own side hustle” type course.
What's your return policy?
I will be mailing out the pay in full bonuses 7 days after purchase so I am more than happy to give you 5 days to request your money back.
Alright, already. When does this start? And how long do I have access?
As soon as you purchase, you'll get access to the pre-work and one week after purchase, you get access to all the advanced material.

You'll have access for as long as the course exists! If I decide for whatever reason to stop doing it, I'll download everything and send it to you.
