Build a travel business around your life.
Love travel? Looking for something flexible you can build alongside your existing job, family or other commitments?
I started my own travel business alongside my career, and now I help other people explore whether doing the same could work for them.
Why I built something alongside my career.
I wanted something flexible that I could build alongside my career and the rest of my life, and something connected to a subject I already loved - travel.
What started as an extra income stream has become a business I genuinely enjoy building, and one I can fit around everything else – work, family and other commitments.
How it works.
01
Have a chat
We start with a relaxed conversation about what you’re looking for, your interests and how much time you have.
02
See if it’s for you
I’ll explain how the travel business works, what’s involved and answer your questions. No pressure and no hard sell.
03
Get started with support
If you decide it’s right for you, you’ll have training, tools and support to help you get going. And I’ll be there to help too.
04
Build it around your life
There’s no expectation to give up your job or turn your life upside down. You build at a pace that works for you.
A few questions you might have…….
Not quite ready for a chat? Here are some of the things people usually ask me first.
-
Not at all. Full training is included and you’ll learn everything step by step, at your own pace. Enthusiasm, a willingness to learn and an interest in travel matter far more than previous experience.
-
There are two sides to the business. You can run your own independent travel business, researching and booking travel for yourself and your clients and earning commission on confirmed bookings. If you want to, there’s also the option to introduce and mentor other people who would like to build a travel business of their own.
-
Yes. As with most businesses, there is a small initial investment and an ongoing monthly cost. The exact amount varies depending on which route you choose, so I’ll always talk you through the options clearly before you make any decision. As a guide, the ongoing cost can be around the price of a takeaway cup of tea or coffee a day.
-
It gives you access to the travel booking platform, established supplier relationships, training and host-agency support. You’ll also have ongoing mentoring, business and personal-development training and a community around you as you learn and build.
-
Very. It’s designed to fit around work, family, study or other commitments. You decide how much time you put into it and how quickly you want to build. There are no travel-booking targets or minimums, so you can build it around your life rather than the other way around.
-
No. You can simply run your business as an independent travel agent. Building a team is an optional additional part of the business for people who enjoy mentoring others and want to develop that side over time.
-
As an independent travel agent, you earn commission on eligible travel bookings. If you choose to build a team as well, there are additional ways to earn as your business and team develop. This isn’t a salaried role and income isn’t guaranteed - what you earn will depend on the business you build.
-
No - and I’d be wary of anything that claimed to be! This is a real business that takes time, effort and consistency to build. You can start small and grow at your own pace, but it isn’t about overnight success.
-
Plenty! You’re not given a login and left to figure everything out yourself. There’s structured training, set-up support, regular training sessions, resources and a wider community - and you’ll have me to help and mentor you along the way too.
Could this work for you?
You don’t need to have everything figured out. If you’re curious about building something flexible around your existing work and life, we can have a chat and see whether it feels like a fit.
