4. Ashli's Journey: Destination Travel Agent

Megan Glenn

I’m very excited to have another incredible guest, Ashli Shockley, on the podcast today!


Ashli Shockley is a travel agent, mom, and all-around awesome person I’ve gotten to connect with in my new town. Ashli has always had a love for travel, which led her to starting her own travel agency, World on a String Travel. She believes in the 3 E’s of travel: Exciting, Engaging, and Enthralling. She also knows a 4th E, Exhausting, can pop up when you’re trying to plan your trip alone. Ashli is passionate about helping her clients plan a vacation that’s just right for them, and ultimately, have their world on a string.


In today’s episode, we’re talking about:

-What a travel agent actually does

-Ashli’s story of getting into entrepreneurship from a young age, to eventually starting her own travel agency

-Ashli’s favorite part of her job

-What it’s like being a small business owner with a neurodivergent brain

-2 things Ashli wishes she would have learned sooner in her entrepreneurial journey

-Ashli’s favorite apps and social media platforms for her business

-Advantages to working with a travel agent


Ashli and I both know that being a small business owner brings a great deal of freedom and flexibility, but it also comes with its own set of challenges. Ashli has found a career that really ‘fits’ her brain well though, and she is confident and passionate about helping her clients make travel memories they’ll never forget. 


Ashli is the number one advocate when it comes to her clients, and she enjoys being a one-size-fits-all for their travel needs. Whether you’re looking for a family vacation, business venture, or a soul-searching voyage, definitely reach out to Ashli when you’re ready to plan your next travel destination!
