We had the good fortune of connecting with RAE CRAVEN and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi RAE, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
“The most critical factor behind my travel business success is not being afraid to ask questions. After all, the worst that could happen is that they say no.” 😊

Remember, curiosity and asking questions can lead to valuable insights and growth!

What should our readers know about your business?
“As a dedicated travel agent, I specialize in crafting unforgettable memories—from destination weddings to dream honeymoons. I thrive on organizing large groups, including corporate incentive trips and annual work events in the Caribbean. Did you know that studies show people work harder when striving toward a trip?

My journey as a business owner hasn’t been easy. After losing my tanning salon due to COVID, I pivoted to focus on travel. Despite the initial challenges, I remained optimistic. Now, with travel rebounding, I’m thrilled to see destination weddings on the rise and family reunions in the Caribbean gaining popularity. Corporate Zooms have also made incentive trips a fantastic team-building tool.

My commitment is to ensure everything is ready for your getaway, so you can relax and enjoy precious moments with loved ones, coworkers, or even newfound friends.”

Remember, your resilience and adaptability can lead you to success—keep shining, don’t settle and never give up

Absolutely! Miami offers fantastic options for weekend cruises and memorable getaways.

there are so many Weekend Cruises that port from Miami and I also suggest arriving a day or two before or staying after your trip to explore some of these places

Vizcaya Museum and Gardens:
Wynwood Walls:
Little Havana Food Tour:
Ocean Drive:
Nikki Beach: A must-visit for beachfront relaxation and chic vibes. and one of my favorites

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
“I want to dedicate my shoutout to my incredible husband. Throughout the challenging years after COVID, when I lost my salon and transitioned my part-time travel business into a full-time venture, he stood by me unwaveringly. His support, encouragement, and love have been my rock, and I couldn’t have come this far without him. Thank you, my dear husband!” 🌟❤️

Remember, acknowledging those who have been there for us is essential—it reminds us of the strength we gain from our connections and shared experiences. 🙌🏼
