‘story’

Okay, so my story is a science fiction story, based off of my dad musing that UFOs are not aliens, but time travelers from the future who are doing some sight-seeing.
In my story, there is a special travel agency made especially for time travelers in the future. Time travel in the future was made more accessible commercially for people of the future. This is a secret organization (even from the government), that helps maintain safe visits and prevents actions that could alter the flow of time.
So they schedule trips, provide tour guides, and even have people who hunt down illegal time travelers and arrest them. There are branches all over the world, having spread from America. This agency has been working for several hundred years (thanks to being able to travel further back in time and create the agency sooner).
The main character is a young man that has been involved with them for a long time. He seems incompetent, but he’s actually amazingly good when he has to be. There’s adventure, comedy, and some action.

This is only a basic summary. I have way more details worked out than I make it sound. I’m not really looking for critique. Can you please help me think of some possible titles that fit the summary? I’m having a rough time with that.

Around the World…a dream too BIG.

“Yessss!! I finally get to travel the world,” the girl thought to herself as she is whisked away on a KLM flight destined for Amsterdam. She brings out a planner from her purse as she reviews the course of her 3-month trip. She again utters some thank yous to her aunty who had managed to rack up enough money and purchase her an around the world flight ticket for her eighteenth birthday. The plane has now landed and it is a happy sunny day in Amsterdam as opposed to the gloomy rainy Boston she just left. She leaves the airport and enters the city. In her excitement, she can’t help but use the little Dutch she learned from her phrasebooks. Hoe gaat het met u vandaag?(how are you today?) she says to people as she prances around, looking for a taxi to take her to her hotel. This was only the beginning of many wonderful adventures to come.
She twirls around in her newly purchased wooden clogs all over Holland. She heads over to Berlin and is just in time for an amazing Rammstein concert. She takes a tour in Jerusalem to experience the Wailing Wall and the Dome of the Rock herself. She takes a dive with the dolphins in the Caribbean. She falls in love at a nightclub in Barcelona. She lives out her myth in Athens and Santorini. She enjoys the Songkran Festival in Bangkok. She marvels at the Sphinx and the Pyramid of Khafre in Egypt. She is astounded by the Taronga zoo in Sydney. She is intrigued at the site of the aged beauty of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. She hops on a train headed for London just as it begins to rain. She closes her eyes to sleep during the long journey. She feels cold drops of water on her forehead. She wakes up, staring at the huge leak in her ceiling. It thunders outside as the rain pours on. She is in her room back in Boston. The dull gray of the early morning rain casts looming shadows of nearby trees on her wall. She hears her mother give a weak cough in the next room of the shack. She sighs. “Just another dream” she says to herself. “Just another fairytale that I will never be able to afford to live.”
