Travel has always been more than a hobby for me—it’s a way of life. From spontaneous weekend getaways to carefully curated adventures across continents, I’ve always found joy in discovering new places and helping others plan their perfect trip. That’s why I took the leap and became an independent travel agent with InteleTravel.
My Travel Story:
I’ve traveled solo, with family, and in groups—each experience teaching me something new about destinations, planning, and the little details that make a trip unforgettable. But it wasn’t until I started posting on TikTok my solo travels and encouraging others to take the solo travel 🧳 leap that I discovered I could not only help others book their own trips, but I could actually turn this passion into a business.
My introduction to InteleTravel:
When I discovered InteleTravel, I was impressed by how accessible and empowering it was for someone like me—passionate about travel, but without a formal background in the industry. As an independent agent, I gained access to over 100 travel partners, from cruise lines and luxury resorts to airlines and tour operators.
The Perks of Being an Independent Travel Agent:
- Exclusive Rates & Perks: I now book travel for myself and others at competitive rates, often with added benefits like upgrades, credits, or amenities.
- Flexible Income: Whether I’m planning a friend’s honeymoon or a family’s Disney vacation, I earn commissions while doing what I love.
- Insider Knowledge: I get access to professional training and insider info that helps me create custom travel experiences.
- Travel for Less: I can take advantage of discounted “familiarization trips” (FAMs), allowing me to explore the world affordably and share firsthand insights with my clients.
From Personal Adventures to Profitable Passion:
One of the best parts of this journey is sharing my own travel experiences—not just to inspire others, but to offer real, personalized advice. Whether someone wants an off-the-beaten-path adventure or a luxury escape, I can turn their travel ideas into reality.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like being part of the travel industry- not just as a traveler, but as someone who earns from helping others travel too?
Let me take you behind the scenes of what it really looks like being a travel business owner, what I pay each month to stay in business, and what I actually get in return.
💸 Monthly Investment: The Real Talk
To run my travel business, I pay a monthly subscription of £46.79, which breaks down like this:
- £32/month to InteleTravel, the travel agency platform where I’m registered as an Independent Travel Agent (ITA).
- £14.79/month to PlanNet Marketing, the network marketing company that supports the business-building and team growth side.
These payments are automatically debited every 28th of the month. Life happens (like this month when I overspent on my travel debit card 😅), but if a payment is missed, both platforms retry within a few days—no drama. And if I need to change my card details, it’s a super easy fix by logging into my back-office account.
✨ So, What Do I Get for My £46.79 a Month?
💼 InteleTravel Perks (Travel Agent Side)
- Access to 100+ trusted travel partners—including well-known names like Jet2, Disney, Royal Caribbean, and many more.
- My own travel booking website:
👉 maneelabrown.inteletravel.uk
Clients can search and book their own holidays directly through this site, and I earn commission without lifting a finger! - Travel Education & Training: I’m constantly learning through webinars and courses via the InteleTravel University platform. I get certified in different travel niches—from cruises to family getaways, luxury escapes, and even Disney specialist programs.
- I grow from being a “Dream Builder” (beginner level) to becoming a full-blown Travel Expert.
🌐 PlanNet Marketing Perks (Business Builder Side)
PlanNet Marketing is where I earn residual income for growing my network. When someone joins the travel business through me, I earn a monthly commission—and so does everyone who referred me. It’s a network marketing structure, so the more people I help get started, the more we all grow financially.

🧳 Final Thoughts: Why It’s Worth It
Yes, I pay a monthly fee. But what I gain is far greater:
- Commissions from bookings (even if clients book themselves).
- Passive income from growing a team.
- Flexible learning at my own pace.
- A business I can run from anywhere in the world 🌍 (yes—even from my phone while sipping mint tea in Morocco or soaking up the sun in Greece).
It’s not just a side hustle—it’s a lifestyle business. And if you’ve been dreaming of turning your love for travel into a real income, now you know what’s possible.
