How I Replaced My Full-Time Income with a Travel Business (And How You Can Too!)

For years, I dreamed of having more flexibility in my life... more time with my son, more financial freedom and the ability to travel the world while still earning a great income. But like so many mums, I was stuck in the daily grind, running my florist shops, juggling endless responsibilities and feeling like there just weren’t enough hours in the day.

Then, in January 2022, I took a leap into the travel industry, starting a business that I could work around my life. At the time, I had no idea how much it would change everything.

Fast forward to today and I’ve completely replaced my full-time income, closed my florist shops, and now work 100% in travel, all while home educating my son and creating a life of freedom and flexibility. Not only that, but I’ve helped over 400 people start their own online travel business, many of whom are now thriving, booking holidays, and earning an income doing something they love.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible to make a full-time income from travel, I’m here to tell you—it absolutely is. And in this post, I’ll walk you through exactly how I did it (and how you can too!).

My Life Before Travel

Before I started my travel business, life was hectic. I ran two florist shops, working long hours in the cold, with my son by my side. As much as I loved the creativity, I longed for more freedom. I wanted to spend more time with my son, travel more, and escape the stress of running a demanding physical business. I knew something had to change, but I wasn’t sure what.

The Turning Point: Taking the Leap into Travel

I stumbled upon the opportunity to become a travel agent and, at first, I was skeptical. Could I really earn an income booking holidays? Could this business fit around my life?

But something told me to go for it. So, I jumped in, learning everything I could, booking my first trips, and slowly growing my business while still managing my florists.

I quickly saw the potential and within 2 years I was earning more from my travel business than I was from my florists... without the stress of stock, staffing and overheads.

How I Built My Travel Business (And Replaced My Income)

If you’re wondering how I made this work, here’s what I did:

✔ Built a Strong Online Presence – I used Instagram to showcase my passion for travel, share my experiences, and attract people who wanted to book holidays or join my team.

✔ Focused on Learning & Growth – I invested time in training, industry knowledge, and supplier relationships, which helped me book incredible trips for my clients and establish credibility.

✔ Leveraged Word-of-Mouth & Referrals – I built strong relationships with my clients, ensuring they had amazing trips and referred me to their friends and family.

✔ Developed a Duplicatable System – I created a step-by-step training platform, The Travel Business Academy, so new agents could easily learn and grow their own travel businesses with my support.

✔ Prioritized Community & Support – I provided daily mentorship, training, and coaching to my team, ensuring they had everything they needed to succeed.

These steps helped me scale my business, attract dream clients, and grow a team of successful travel agents.

The Power of Support & Community

One of the biggest reasons I was able to replace my income so quickly is because I wasn’t doing it alone.

From day one, I had access to training, mentorship and a community of successful agents. Now, I’ve taken that support to the next level with The Travel Business Academy, a platform designed to take new agents through every step of launching and growing a travel business.

I know what it’s like to start from scratch, and that’s why I provide daily support, step-by-step training, and coaching to ensure no one ever feels lost or overwhelmed.

How You Can Do This Too

If you’ve ever thought about earning an income from travel, here’s what you need to know:

You don’t need experience, you don’t need to be a social media expert and you don’t need to have a huge following. You just need a love for travel and a willingness to learn.

✔ Full training is provided – so you know exactly how to book travel and build your business.

✔ You’ll have mentorship & support – I’ll guide you every step of the way.

✔ You can start part-time & grow at your own pace – no pressure, no risk, just opportunity.

✔ You’ll be joining a community of like-minded people – so you’ll never feel alone on this journey.
