Maybe you’ve been thinking about this for a while.

You love travel.
You’re the go-to trip planner for your family and friends.
You’ve followed the accounts, saved the posts, and bookmarked the dream.

But when it comes to actually starting? You still feel unsure.

Before you leap into a new career path, it’s wise to pause and ask the right questions. Not to talk yourself out of it but to make a decision that feels aligned and exciting.

Let’s walk through 7 questions that can help you get clear.

1. Do I genuinely enjoy planning travel, not just for myself, but for others?

This business is rooted in service.

You won’t be building dream trips for you. You’ll be building them for clients with different styles, budgets, and needs.

If matching someone with the right itinerary feels like a fun challenge, and you love the feeling of seeing it all come together, this could be a perfect fit.

2. Am I looking for a flexible, work-from-anywhere lifestyle?

If time freedom and location freedom are high on your values list, travel advising can deliver both.

It’s still work. But it’s work on your terms.
You can build a side hustle or full-time income around your life, not the other way around.

3. Do I want to earn income doing something meaningful and enjoyable?

Helping people create core memories, family traditions, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures is deeply fulfilling.

And yes, you can get paid well to do it.
You’re not just booking trips. You’re guiding experiences. That matters.

4. Do I want to grow something of my own, even if I start under a host agency?

Becoming a travel advisor means stepping into entrepreneurship.

Even if you start with a host agency, you’re still building your business. You decide how big or small you want it to be. You decide what success looks like.

That freedom comes with responsibility, but you don’t have to do it alone.

Inside Travel Genius Coaching, I walk you through every step so you’re not guessing what to do next or trying to recreate the wheel from scratch.

5. Am I okay with learning as I go?

You don’t have to know everything to get started.

You just need to be willing to take the next step and to keep learning as you go.

With the right support, it’s not overwhelming. Travel Genius Coaching gives you a structured path, built-in templates, and answers to questions you don’t even know you have yet.

You’re not expected to be an expert on Day One. You just need to start.

6. Do I like working with people, even if I’m not naturally outgoing?

You don’t have to be a loud or “salesy” personality to do well in this field.

In fact, the best travel advisors are often calm, clear communicators who know how to listen well and recommend with care.

If you’re warm, thoughtful, and genuinely interested in helping people, you already have what it takes.

7. Do I want to create freedom for myself and my family?

This is the big one.

If the answer is yes, and you’re ready to take one small step at a time, you might be exactly where you’re meant to be.

Inside Travel Genius Coaching, I show you what this career actually looks like and how to get started with clarity and confidence.
