Expertise: Photography

Meet Allison: a professional photographer and travel agent with more than a decade of experience in portrait and lifestyle photography. Over the years, she’s seen firsthand how strong, thoughtful imagery can help a travel business stand out, build trust, and attract the right clients.

She’s built her own travel brand by applying the same photography principles she’s used behind the camera for years—using light, composition, and storytelling to create content that connects. And she believes every agent can do the same, even with just the phone in their hand.

Allison’s here to help you develop a sharper eye for the images you create, so your photos start working for your business—not just filling your camera roll.

Expertise: Meta - Social Media

"I’m a travel advisor and content creator who built a six-figure brand using nothing but strategy, storytelling, and a phone.
In just two years, I’ve booked nearly $1M in travel through content alone — and landed paid collaborations with major lifestyle brands like Maybelline, NYX, Target, Princess Cruises, and more.

Now I teach other travel advisors how to do the same.
Inside my social media masterclass, I share the strategies I use daily to create content that connects, builds trust, and drives consistent sales — no dancing, no guessing, no wasting time.

If you’re ready to stop winging it and start showing up online with confidence, I got you."

I’m Brad Powell, founder of Wanderoso Travel Network—a host agency built to equip independent travel advisors with the support, tools, and community they need to thrive. My personal focus as an advisor is on all-inclusive resorts throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, and FIT trips to Mediterranean Europe. Whether it’s crafting seamless resort getaways or complex European itineraries, I’m driven by helping clients simplify the process and deliver meaningful experiences.

Like many of you, I started out learning the ropes firsthand. I began as an agent with Travelmation, where I was honored to be named Rookie of the Year after completing the How to Travel Agent course—taught by none other than your very own Kris Porter. That experience shaped how I approach this business: invest in learning, stay humble, and build systems that actually work.

Today, through Wanderoso, I not only serve clients but also am beginning to host a growing network of independent agents. My passion is helping others streamline their operations, strengthen their client experience, and grow with confidence—without the overwhelm.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me on a motorcycle trip somewhere off the beaten path or at home in New Mexico with my partner and our five dogs.

I’m Amy, a Japan travel expert and homeschooling boy mom who built a Top Producer business with Travelmation. I specialize in fully customized, culturally respectful Japan itineraries—and also plan trips to top destinations around the world. My clients value transparency, care, and expert support so they can travel with confidence, whether they’re headed to Kyoto, Cancun, or anywhere in between.
