Turn Your Love for Travel Into a Career
Join Our Team
Turning your passion for travel into a career might sound like a dream, but it’s absolutely something you can do. Imagine waking up every day knowing you’re helping people plan adventures they’ll remember for a lifetime. Whether it’s a family’s first trip to Disney, a romantic getaway for two, or a group cruise to the Caribbean, travel agents play such an important role in making dreams come true.
If you’re sitting there thinking, “That sounds amazing, but where do I even start?” you’re not alone. So many people feel this way, especially when they’ve never explored the idea before. The good news? Becoming a travel agent isn’t as complicated as it might seem. It’s about learning, growing, and being excited to share your love of travel with others.
Here’s the thing: you don’t need a fancy degree or years of experience to get started. What you really need is curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a passion for helping people. Of course, having someone to guide you along the way makes all the difference. That’s where Somewhere Beyond Vacations (SBV) comes in.
When you join SBV, you’re not just joining a team—you’re becoming part of a family. We believe in lifting each other up, sharing our knowledge, and creating an environment where everyone can succeed. We know the idea of starting something new can be overwhelming, so we’ve built an entire support system to make it easier for you. From training programs to mentorship, we’ll walk alongside you every step of the way.
What I love most about SBV is how much we focus on helping new agents find their footing. We have two programs called Navigator’s University & Junior Navigator Training, which is like your mentor lead guides to becoming a successful travel agent. It’s completely self-paced, so you can learn on your own schedule, and it covers everything from booking tools to marketing tips. You’ll even get the chance to dive into our Social Media Mastery program as a follow-up training, which helps you connect with clients in fun and creative ways.
But training is just the beginning. What truly sets SBV apart is the culture. We’re all about kindness, teamwork, and celebrating each other’s wins. Whether you’re asking questions, brainstorming ideas, or just sharing a great vacation story, there’s always someone there to support you. It’s a little like having a travel-loving family cheering you on.
Another thing that makes SBV special is the flexibility. You’re not tied to a desk or a rigid schedule. You can work from anywhere, set your own hours, and decide what kinds of trips you want to specialize in. If you’ve always dreamed of becoming an expert in Disney vacations or luxury cruises, we’ll help you make it happen.
And let’s talk about the tools you’ll have at your fingertips. From lead generation programs to systems that simplify managing clients, we’ve got you covered. There’s even a program called Buzz Builders that teaches you how to use social media to attract clients—it’s fun, creative, and makes a big impact on your business.
It’s not just about the work, though. It’s about the joy of building a life that aligns with what you love. At SBV, you’ll not only get to help others explore the world, but you’ll also create opportunities to explore it yourself. Familiarization trips, new certifications, and opportunities to deepen your knowledge are all part of the journey.
If all of this sounds exciting, that’s because it is. Starting as a travel agent with SBV isn’t just about building a career; it’s about creating something meaningful, for yourself and for the people you help. Whether you’re looking for a fresh start, a way to turn your hobby into income, or a career that fits your life, this could be the perfect path for you.
