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

Hi Jasmine, have there been any changes in how you think about work-life balance?
My balance has drastically changed over the years of my career. I originally was a victim of the “hustle culture” where I thought I had to grind 24/7, check off one goal just to move on to the next… I would go from my day job straight to gigs then home to be on the computer for hours before bed. I gave myself no grace for all of the hardworking I was doing and the things I was accomplishing. Now I make sure that I make time for myself, my mental health and things I enjoy, in the midst of working. Working in the travel industry also allows a better work life balance, as I get to travel while working.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I decided to prioritize travel in my life around 2018. I told myself I would take at least 3 trips a year. From those experiences, I started to work with TGI as a client. The agency was making my experience so easy that I wanted to learn more from the agent perspective. I started as a travel agent in early 2021 coming off of the pandemic. Travel had become more affordable and people were beginning to travel more. I fell in love with creating travel experiences for clients and traveling to be able to educate clients. Lessons I learned is if it is something that you love, GO FOR IT.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I am such an itinerary girl! I love a good schedule, especially when traveling! An itinerary is not complete without a good BRUNCH, museum and a nice fine dining experience. I have full itineraries for Miami, Chicago and New Orleans available on travelgoddessintl.com
