Meet Brittany Braun of Braun Travels

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittany Braun.

Brittany, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
After visiting many places around the world, I quickly discovered that my career passion is in the travel industry. Combined with the skills I’ve developed over the years and a joy for organizing and detail, it was clear that travel planning was the perfect fit.

I took a leap of faith and went through the training program with Travel Planners International, which leads to the creation and start of Braun Travels. I’ve started small and have focused on researching and booking trips for family and friends to destinations including New Zealand, Israel, Jordan, Japan, an Alaskan Cruise, and more.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
There are always bumps in the road when it comes to traveling and planning travel. Things can include weather, flight delays/cancellations, or if the client simply changes their mind.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Braun Travels story. Tell us more about the business.
Braun Travels can assist with everything from flights and hotels to tours and restaurants. My personal travel experience, coupled with a passion for researching places I haven’t been to, can provide the client with everything they’ll need to know before planning and booking their trip.

Has luck played a meaningful role in your life and business?
I was incredibly lucky to meet and marry my husband who also has a huge passion for traveling. Together, we’ve traveled to 25 countries and have been fortunate to learn so much about our world.

I quickly understood that the experiences we’ve had can help benefit others looking to embark on their own adventures and is one of the main reasons why Braun Travels was started. I believe that luck is always out there, but it’s how you use it that counts.
