Creator's Key Takeaways

I took 12 cruises last year and visited 24 different countries

if anyone tries to sell you on the concept of being a travel agent as a quick road to getting rich or even being able to quit your job right away they're lying to you

it's a really great side hustle and could potentially become a great full-time career but it's not going to happen overnight

I became a travel agent just to book my own trips because I travel so much and the commission that I earned off booking my own trips more than covered my host fee

Creator's Tips & Advice

Don't expect to get rich or quit your job immediately as a travel agent
Travel agent work is a great side hustle that can become full-time with dedication
Use the commission from booking your own trips to cover host fees
Success takes time, dedication, and building a good reputation and loyal customer base
