ORDINARY INDIVIDUALS, JUST LIKE YOU, WHO WANTED MORE

MEET THE TEAM BEHIND THE BRAND

 I (hi! I’m Nisha 👋) started my online travel business during maternity leave after being made redundant.


I went from booking my own holidays to earning a full-time income from my phone -and now, I help others do the same.

Since then, we’ve helped hundreds of people:


  • Launch successful home-based travel businesses
  • Create extra income around their jobs, families or side hustles
  • Gain confidence, grow their skill sets, and actually enjoy the process

We’re not some corporate travel agency with a customer support ticket system.


We’re real people, offering real help - WhatsApp chats, Zoom calls, voice notes, in-person events and consistent mentorship.


If you want high-touch support in a low-pressure environment, you’ve found your people. 💛

WHO IS THIS FOR

 Whether you’re:


  • A travel lover wanting to fund your own adventures
  • A busy professional looking for a smart side hustle
  • Someone ready for more time, location freedom and income control
  • Looking to change careers and become a home based travel agent

…we’ve created an opportunity that works around your life - not the other way around.


We believe in:


  • Building online travel businesses that create freedom

  • Supporting people at every stage of their journey

  • Making travel more accessible, more rewarding - and more fun

And above all?

We believe you deserve to build a life that feels good - not one you’re always trying to escape from.

I am forever grateful that my online travel business has allowed me to earn a full time income in pockets of time around my little girl, saving me childcare fees and also enabling me to access the best travel rates - a godsend when you're married to a teacher!”

"We’ve always loved travelling as a family, so joining the travel industry in 2021 felt like an exciting opportunity to benefit from something we were already doing!


Little did I know it would grow into a secondary full-time income, built alongside my full-time Director role in Media, valued family time and social life. We’ve been able to travel even more together and it’s shown me that you don’t have to choose between a demanding career, meaningful income, and making memories! With the right flexible opportunity, it’s possible to have all three."

I love that being a home based travel agent is so flexible so I can do it around all of my commitments. Being able to earn an additional income around my full time job at a University and two young children is the best move I made. I’m so grateful I also get to help others do the same too."

Since joining I’ve booked lodges, hotels, package holidays and attractions, but not only have I got the best prices, I have earned commission on every trip booked.

I’ve also booked holidays for others and have helped save my clients money compared to other popular booking sites. I have loved the additional income. I’m so passionate about helping others travel smarter and so happy I’m doing something that I love.”

Even after returning to my full time job, I knew that my heart belonged to this. In December 2025, I took the leap and left my corporate career to fully embrace my travel business, and it’s been the best decision ever! Today, I’ve booked over £80,000 in travel and built a business that pays me a monthly residual income, all while empowering others to do the same. I absolutely love this business!"

“I started my online travel business during COVID whilst on maternity leave with a 6 month old. I wanted to show my son and family the world even though the cost of living was increasing, so finding this business opportunity was perfect. I was able to add an additional income to my job as a midwife whilst saving on travel which allows us to travel at least five times a year. 

Everyday I’m developing and learning and I’m really proud to be a travel business owner. I can’t wait to see what else is in store!”

I started on my mat leave in 2022 and took 10 holidays that first year and have booked  over £700k in travel so far. I’m on my 3rd mat leave now and could only afford to do this because of this business.”

"I joined to not only travel like an insider, but also to prove to myself I could learn an entirely new skill. Fast forward two years and it’s safe to say I have done that! 


I started my online travel business just before I left my job in the insurance industry - I decided to take a career break to spend time with my young family, travel and self develop - all three aspects have been achieved with this business. The flexibility to work around my days is perfect, the places/hotels visited have been magnificent and learning an entirely new skill has been priceless!


Travel will never be the same again for my family and I, now I have this incredible business! I have saved thousands for my family, my friends & clients alike. And now my goal is to help other like minded people see the insane benefits of this business, to help them earn an additional income for their families too!"

"I started this business so I could give my kids the memories I didn't have as a child. I wanted to show them the world, Disneyland, and even the oceans! But more importantly, I wanted to be more than just a stay at home mum. I'm so happy to be able to balance time with my kids and travel so effortlessly!”

"I'm an avid traveller, travelling has always been in my DNA. Growing up in Singapore, living in Australia for a decade, the UK for 8 years and now travelling the world with my own coaching and wellness business, Coaching By Susanna, I wanted to blend my passion for travel with creating a passive income side business. Not only do I love travelling, I also love organising trips for people and have always been the go-to girl for organising holidays, my birthdays, and adventures around the world. Inteletravel feels like the perfect blend between my love for travel, organising travel and running a side business, or as I call it a ‘tapas’ career 🙂"
