Q: Do you get to go on ALL the trips?
A: I hate to disillusion you but that travel fantasy is different from the business reality. Essentially, I have a desk job, not a “traveling” job (like a flight attendant or tour guide). I design, arrange, market, process and deliver the getaways. There’s nothing glamorous about the actual WORK but careful planning is essential to successful trips.
I advertise different getaways each month but only accompany a few select group getaways each year. When I’m not “flying my desk”, I am on location as the group leader/group concierge reconfirming opening/closing events, activities and tours, and tending to individual group member requests/needs.
So, do I get to travel? -YES! I have traveled all over the world on my own time and my own money. And I have even lived overseas long before I started my company. I usually budget for two business trips a year to broaden my expertise and occasionally take an actual vacation 🙂
