Important Note About Travel Planning

Travel planning is NOT a get-rich-quick scheme.

Building a business takes effort and intention.

When I first started, I knew I loved planning trips, but I had no idea how to turn that into a business.

I thought my only option was to become a travel agent, but the licensing fees and restrictions didn’t feel right. So I tried to figure things out on my own…

I spent hours piecing together advice from random YouTube videos and other advice I found on the internet.

I experimented with pricing, services, and contracts without any real guidance.

Every new client inquiry felt chaotic because I didn’t have a clear process or workflow. And while I eventually figured it out, it cost me a lot of time, stress, and missed opportunities.

That’s why I created Your Travel Planning Business: to simplify the entire process and give you a proven roadmap.

Instead of wasting years on trial and error, you’ll have everything you need to start booking clients and earning income in months, not years.


“Within 48 hours of applying what I learned from Emily, I landed my first paying client; a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with a $17,500 French Polynesia trip. That single itinerary earned me $958.”

- Laura P.


“It took me a little longer than others to actually start travel planning after I bought Emily’s course. I was nervous to start, and didn’t want to be rejected by potential clients. I’m an introvert and it all seemed so overwhelming.

When I finally decided to give it a go, it was so much more straightforward than I thought, but only because I had Emily’s guidance every step of the way. Whenever I didn’t know what to do next, I just went to the next lesson in the course, and Emily covered it.


Now, I get 4-6 clients per month, and I do this as a side hustle so I can work less at my full-time job. I’m even working up the courage to leave my 9-5 job to do this full-time.”


- Jackie B.


“...I also want to thank you for your Travel itinerary Course. I've just completed it, and I LOVED IT!

Here's why...

- You are an excellent teacher.
- The course is easy to follow, and you showed us step-by-step how to do everything!
- You covered much more than I had expected. As is usually the case, we don't know what we don't know.
- The course is well worth the cost.
- The course is immediately ACTIONABLE. I've already set up and gone live with “...” Custom Travel Planning and made money as a travel planner."


- Jeff P.


"I originally wanted to be a travel agent, but the licensing and extra education were too expensive.


Instead, I invested in Emily’s course, and I’m so glad I did.

The support and information she provides are 10x better than what I’ve seen from travel agencies. There’s really no comparison. I’d recommend this course to anyone who wants to turn their travel skills into a business."


- Jill K.


"I’ve always been the ‘go-to’ person in my family for planning trips, but I never thought I could actually make money doing it. Emily’s course gave me the confidence and step-by-step direction to treat it like a real business. 18 days after I bought Emily's course, I landed a honeymoon couple and earned over $400 from my planning fee, and over $300 in affiliate commission. I’m hooked and already planning for more clients."

 - Megan L.

"Before Emily’s course, I kept second-guessing myself. Who would pay me when there are travel agents out there? But her lessons made me realize that clients want a personalized experience, not just a hotel booking. I’ve now worked with 5 clients, and one even came back for a second trip already.

I'd love to leave my day job and do this full time, and I definitely feel like I'm on the right path to quit by the end of the year."

- Chris D.

"As a family, we're trying to move abroad, so I needed something flexible for work. I didn’t have a website, a following, or even a clue how to start, but Emily made it so simple. I just followed her templates and process.

In the last 3 months, I’ve earned $2,400 in side income. Not to mention, I actually enjoy doing this. I finally feel excited about work again."

- Sarah M

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Who is this course for?
    My course is for travel lovers at any stage of their journey. Your Travel Planning Business is the complete resource I created so you don’t have to piece things together from dozens of courses, YouTube videos, or Facebook groups.

    Whether you’re just starting out with zero experience, already planning trips for friends and family, or even an established planner or travel agent who wants more consistency and income, this course will give you the roadmap, tools, and confidence to build a business that lasts.
  • Who should not take this course?
    If you’re looking for a quick fix or overnight success, this isn’t it. If you’re not willing to put in the effort to learn and apply the process, this won’t be a good fit. Building a travel planning business takes work, but with the right systems, it can grow into a dependable income stream faster than you think.
  • Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?
    The only additional cost you’ll need to plan for is hosting your website. With our recommended providers, hosting typically runs about $50-$100 for the entire year (or around $15 per month if you prefer monthly payments).

    Beyond that, there are no required costs to get started.

    Inside Your Travel Planning Business, we’ll show you free and low-cost tools to set up your business, manage clients, and deliver itineraries; the same tasks many planners (and agents) pay hundreds of dollars for each month.
  • Do I need to be tech-savvy for this?
    You don’t need to be tech-savvy to start a travel planning business. You definitely don’t need to know coding. As long as you’re comfortable using a computer and open to learning, you’ll be just fine. I break everything down step by step in easy-to-follow lessons, so you can simply watch over my shoulder and follow along.

    If you love travel and can use a computer, you can do this!
  • Do you offer refunds?
    I truly want you to be happy with your purchase, but since this course includes immediate access to all lessons, contracts, templates, and resources, I cannot offer refunds once enrolled.

    Please make sure this program feels right for you before joining. If you’re unsure, send me an email with your questions and I’ll help you decide!
  • When does this course start and finish?
    As soon as you sign up, you’ll get instant, lifetime access to Your Travel Planning Business.

    That means you can move through the modules at your own pace, whether you want to dive in all at once or take it step by step.

    You’ll also have access to all of the included templates, guides, and resources, ready to use whenever you need them. These tools are designed to support you at each stage of your business, so you can apply them at the exact moment they’ll have the biggest impact.
  • Will I make money with travel planning after this course?
    If you implement the strategies in this course, you will be able to earn money as a travel planner.

    That said, this isn’t a “get rich quick” business. You’ll need to put in the work, follow the steps, and stay consistent. Success depends on the effort you invest; the more focused you are on applying what you learn, the faster you’ll see results.
  • Do I get one-on-one coaching?
    Your Travel Planning Business is a self-paced course, not a coaching program. We designed it this way so you can move at your own speed and revisit the material anytime you need.

    The lessons are step-by-step and thorough, and we’ve included all the templates, resources, and examples you need to take action right away.

    While there isn’t one-on-one coaching, you’ll still have lifetime access to the private student Facebook group, where you can connect, ask questions, and share wins with others on the same journey.

Hi, I'm Emily!

I went from a 9-5 corporate job in Maine to building a thriving travel planning business that consistently earns her $8,000-$11,000 per month.


Like many of you, I once believed my only option was to become a travel agent, until I realized I could skip the expensive certifications and licensing fees and instead get paid directly by clients for what I already loved doing: planning unforgettable trips.

I've now helped hundreds of travelers design their dream vacations and (to my surprise) I've become one of the go-to voices in the travel planning space, speaking at major travel events and teaching others how to turn their passion for travel into a profitable business.


I know exactly what it’s like to start with nothing but a love for travel and a dream of freedom. My mission is to hand you the roadmap I wish I had when I started, so you can launch your own travel planning business with confidence.
