Hi! I'm Katie Vassalotti

Here's The Story of How I Became A Travel Advisor

I've been a travel advisor for over four years. I pursued my career as a travel professional after a decade plus of working in the mortgage industry. It was a position that met my needs but was less than fulfilling so I decided to go after my dreams. My two greatest passions are travel and Disney and planning is one of my strengths. Becoming a travel advisor was the perfect fit.


I joined The Magic's Yours Travel as an independent agent in January of 2020 and we all know what happened that year. It was certainly a difficult time to enter the travel industry but I made it through. Four years and tons of learning later I've built a business as a travel advisor and continue to pursue my dreams.
