3 Reasons Why Travel Advising is the Perfect Path for Parents

Written By: Steve Hirshan, Senior Vice President of Sales – Avoya Travel

 


Let's be honest, being a parent is a full-time commitment!

By the time you clock out of your 9-5, make dinner, help with homework, do the laundry and get the kids to bed, you're often left with very little time for yourself. Have you ever dreamed of what life would be like if you spent less time in the office and more time doing what you love? Don't let that dream just be a dream. Make it reality!

As a travel advisor, you'll unlock a whole new world of professional freedom that you never even knew existed. You'll be your own boss, so you'll make your own rules and your own schedule! With the flexibility to work wherever, whenever and however you want, you'll finally be able to achieve the work-life balance you've always wanted.

We know many remote positions might say they offer flexible hours, but then you find out that's not the case. At Avoya Travel®, when we say flexible, we mean actually flexible. Answer emails during nap time, send itineraries in the school pick-up line, text your clients at the pediatrician's office – you get the point! As an Independent Agency in the Avoya Network™, how, where and when you work is entirely up to you, along as it's done with Integrity and Professionalism™.

The best part? The skills that make you a great parent are the exact same skills that would make you a great travel advisor! But don't just take our word for it. The Avoya Travel Network is full of parents who run successful travel businesses. Keep scrolling to hear their stories and learn why travel advising is the perfect path for parents.
