KRISTIN HANCOCK

Kristin believes that travel advising isn’t just about booking trips—it’s about building relationships, creating experiences, and constantly evolving in an ever-changing industry. She entered the travel world in 2020 and quickly discovered her passion, not only for curating unforgettable journeys but also for mentoring and empowering fellow advisors.

At the end of 2023, Kristin made a pivotal decision: to build an agency that truly reflected her vision for professionalism, innovation, and the next generation of travel advisors. In early 2024, she launched Bright Life Travel, creating a space for advisors who are committed to excellence, collaboration, and continual growth. She knew the kind of advisor she wanted to be—and the kind of professionals she wanted to work alongside—so she built a company designed to support, challenge, and elevate those who share that mindset.

Kristin is passionate about fostering a culture where advisors support each other, share knowledge, and grow together. Why reinvent the wheel when someone already has the process, the insight, or the experience to help? With AI and technology at the forefront of her business, she’s dedicated to reshaping what it means to be a modern travel advisor, ensuring that Bright Life Travel remains at the cutting edge of the industry.

Returning as a Future Leaders Guide, Kristin is excited to continue learning, connecting, and contributing to an industry she loves. Whether mentoring fellow advisors, streamlining client experiences, or championing professionalism in travel, she’s committed to raising the bar for what’s possible in this career—and helping others do the same.
