Meet Absar Messina
Founder/Owner of TravelSavvyWithAbby
Hi, I’m Absar-but most people call me Abby-traveler, entrepreneur, and your guide to all things wanderlust. After years in corporate leadership, I decided to channel my passion for adventure and helping others into the travel world. Now, I help busy couples, families, and aspiring agents explore new places, save money, and create lifelong memories.
For me, travel isn’t just about the destination, it’s about the freedom to live life on your own terms. And I can’t wait to help you experience that too.

Jasmin Rodriguez
Independent Travel Advisor | Airbnb Hospitality Pro | Puerto Rico Specialist
"After over five years working closely with my dear friend Abby, I took a leap into something that blended both passion and purpose: becoming an Independent Travel Advisor.
With over a few years in the hospitality industry and a passion for travel, I help busy families, couples, and entrepreneurs create unforgettable getaways—especially to beautiful Puerto Rico, where my husband and I own a vacation rental.
As a full-time professional, stepmom, and wife, I understand the value of time and freedom. Becoming a travel advisor has empowered me to combine my love for service and travel while helping others design experiences that truly matter."

Victor Teixeria
"Hi, I’m Victor! Born in Porto, Portugal, I moved to London at 22 to pursue my dream of becoming a flight attendant and spent 21 amazing years flying the world.
When the pandemic ended that chapter, I turned a small side hustle into my full-time travel business.
Four years later, I’ve grown into a Director-in-Training and helped over 50 families launch their own travel businesses. What started as Plan B is now my passion — and the journey is only just beginning."
Phil Kellett
"In less than a year, this business has opened doors I never imagined.
It’s given me commissions that have paid for unforgettable travel experiences and provided real tax benefits that support my other ventures. But more than anything, it’s completely shifted my mindset. I went from feeling stuck in routine to building freedom—on my terms.
What I love most is the blend of travel, personal growth, and being part of a community that truly uplifts one another. This journey isn’t just about earning income—it’s about creating a purposeful lifestyle. Now, I have the opportunity to help others do the same: to design a life filled with freedom, flexibility, and the benefits of leveraged, residual income."
Arif Bashir
"September marks 2 years since I became an Independent Travel Entrepreneur—and the growth has been incredible.
What started with a love for travel turned into something much deeper: confidence, leadership, and the chance to help others find freedom in their lives.
Yes, the commissions are great—but the real reward is helping others build a life they love.
This isn’t just a side hustle.
It’s a lifestyle rooted in purpose, growth, and community."
