Tara McCoy didn't wake up one day deciding to start a travel agency. It started with a college internship at AAA, turned into a side hustle to pay off debt, and 12 years later she's running Two Sisters Travel - a boutique travel agency that's sent clients to six continents.

The name? Her and her sister Elizabeth. Elizabeth wanted to work from home after having a baby. Tara said let's do our own thing. Elizabeth said "I just wanna sell travel, I don't wanna run a business." Tara said fine, I'll handle it. Turns out Tara was running a business for six years before she even realized it.

In this episode, Tara breaks down what actually happened during COVID (spoiler: she had clients reschedule for FOUR YEARS), why working with a travel advisor protects your time and investment, and the 13th birthday trip tradition she does with each of her five kids - solo trips anywhere in the world. We talk Japan cherry blossoms, Iceland Northern Lights, World War II history tours, and why she's headed to six continents in 2026.

Plus: the Morocco spiritual awakening, watching a lion pride take down a water buffalo, and why backup plans matter when life snowballs. Want to hear how her full pride experience went?? Subscribe to Patreon to get the deets!
