Agent Maggie Rogers fell into travel after she was told she was 'too short' to pursue her dream of becoming a police officer. Fifty years on, and she's been running her agency The Travel Wallet for nearly a quarter of a century – and can't imagine having done anything else.

Growing up, agent Maggie Rogers dreamt of a career in the police. But no matter how hard she stretched her neck, she just couldn't find the extra half inch in height she needed to sign up.
"You had to be 5'4" to join the police force – I was five-foot three-and-a-half," Rogers tells TTG. "No matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t the right height. I was 16, and my police career had ended before it began."
