Side Hustle & Beyond

And the Side Hustle I Went MIA For…

When I first thought about starting a side hustle, I wanted something that aligned with my passions, offered flexibility, and had real income potential. Then I found the travel business and decided to dive in! Here’s why a travel agency is the perfect side hustle for anyone seeking freedom, growth, and income.

1. Flexibility You Can Count On

A travel business fits into your life on your terms. Whether you want to work a few hours a week or make it a full-time gig, you’re in control. The beauty of the travel industry is that you can set your schedule and work from wherever you are. From answering inquiries to booking trips, you can operate your travel business with a laptop and Wi-Fi—ideal for those juggling a main job or looking to travel while they work.

2. Financial Freedom and Income Potential

Travel is a booming industry, with people eager to explore the world. As a travel advisor, you’re in the perfect position to earn income by connecting clients with their dream destinations. Travel agents often earn commissions on bookings, so the more you book, the more you earn. And as a side hustle, it provides a steady income stream that can help you save, pay off debt, or fund other dreams.

3. Incredible Perks and Travel Discounts

One of the perks I was most excited about? Discounts and travel opportunities that make it more affordable to explore the world. Many travel agents have access to industry discounts, familiarization (FAM) trips, and other perks that make it easy to stay knowledgeable while also satisfying wanderlust. This isn’t just a side hustle—it’s a way to live the lifestyle you’re promoting.

4. A Business Aligned with Passion

For those who love travel, helping others plan their dream vacations is both rewarding and exciting. As a travel agent, you’re not just selling trips; you’re helping people create memories. This alignment with something I already loved made it easy to pour time and energy into this business without it feeling like a chore. Every new booking is a chance to explore destinations, learn about cultures, and help clients make the most of their adventures.

5. Low Startup Costs and Support for Growth

Unlike many other businesses, starting as a travel agent requires relatively low startup costs. You don’t need inventory or a physical office, which makes the barriers to entry much lower. Plus, there are training resources, host agencies, and support networks to help you get started and succeed without the guesswork. As your client base grows, so does your income, and this growth often requires minimal overhead costs.

So, Is a Travel Business Right for You?

If you’re looking for a flexible, rewarding side hustle with room for growth, starting a travel agency could be the perfect fit. It’s been the side hustle that allowed me to dive into the industry I love, helping clients and myself explore the world one booking at a time.
