Meet Heather
I didn’t start this because I dreamed of becoming a travel advisor. I started because I loved to travel and discovered there was an entirely different side of the industry I knew nothing about. What began as something I could do for myself turned into a real business, a team, and opportunities I never expected. Now I get to help other people discover what’s possible on this side of travel too.
Hi, I’m Heather!
I’m a wife, mom of four, grandma, dog mom, traveler, and small business owner from Nebraska.
And I definitely didn't wake up one morning magically knowing how to run a travel business.
I started because I loved travel and saw an opportunity to build something of my own. What I found along the way was so much more than I expected.
I've learned. I've traveled. I've attended trainings and industry events. I've toured ships, met suppliers, made some incredible friendships, built a client base, grown a team, made mistakes, celebrated wins, and continued figuring things out along the way.
And that's actually one of my favorite things about what I do.
You don't have to know everything before you start.
You need to be willing to learn, put in the work, ask questions, and keep going.
Today, one of the parts I enjoy most is helping other people learn how to build something of their own, while still building mine right alongside them.
I'm not here to promise anyone overnight success or tell you this is a magic button.
But if you've ever wondered whether there might be another option for you...
Well, that's exactly why I built this site.
Welcome. I'm Heather. Your Journey Bestie
This Is What My Business Looks Like
Training. Travel. Friendships. Experiences. A whole lot of learning. And yes, plenty of fun along the way.
What You’re Actually Starting
Your Business. With Support Behind It.
You’re not signing up for another job. You’re starting your own travel business, but you don’t have to figure everything out by yourself. You’ll have training, tools, resources, and support to help you learn the industry and build a business that fits your goals.
Training & Resources
You’ll start with training that teaches you the foundations of the travel industry and how to begin building your business. From there, ongoing training helps you continue learning as you grow.
MENTORSHIP & SUPPORT
You’ll have people to ask questions, learn from, and turn to when you need help. I’ll be there as your mentor, along with a larger community of experienced advisors and leaders.
TOOLS TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS
You’ll have access to booking platforms, travel suppliers, business resources, and tools designed to help you work with clients and operate your travel business.
Community
You’re Building Your Own Business, Not Building It Alone
One of the biggest surprises for me was the community that came with this business. You’ll meet other travel advisors at every stage, from people just getting started to experienced advisors who have been doing this for years. There are people to learn from, ask questions, celebrate wins with, and lean on when you get stuck. You’re responsible for building your own business, but that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone.
Why This Business?
Built Around Your Life
There isn’t one right way to build a travel business. Some people want to earn on the travel they already book. Some want extra income alongside what they already do. Others want to build something much bigger. You decide what you want this business to become, and then you do the work to build it.
Real Business with Real Income
No Magic Button. No Guarantees.
This is a real business, which means results take time, effort, learning, and consistency. What you build from it depends on what you put into it.
Build It Your Way
Travel Sales. Team Building. Or Both.
You can focus on booking travel, building a team and creating additional income opportunities, or combine the two. Your goals determine the direction you take your business.
Work Around Your Life
Your Schedule. Your Business.
Build part-time, work around another job, family, retirement, or whatever life looks like for you. You decide when and where you work and how much time you’re ready to put into growing your business.
