214. What Becoming a Travel Agent Actually Looks Like with Lindsay Dollinger
Description
Becoming a travel agent sounds appealing, especially when you're burned out and looking for something that actually fits your life. But most people don't know what it really involves, how much it costs to get started, what you can realistically earn, or whether you can do it alongside everything else you're already managing.
In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I sit down with Lindsay Dollinger, travel agency owner and host of the Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust podcast, to get into all of it. Lindsay started as a travel agent in 2019 while still teaching high school Spanish full-time, and she now runs her own agency with agents working under her. She breaks down exactly what the path looks like, what it costs, and why it might be more doable than you think.
In This Episode, We Explore…
- How becoming a travel agent works and what the difference is between an agent and an agency owner.
- Why you can realistically do this part-time without monthly minimums or sales quotas.
- What startup costs actually look like and how little you need to get going.
- The travel agent perks, FAM trips, and commission structures worth knowing about.
- Why travel insurance is the one thing Lindsay says every traveler needs to stop skipping.
