May 13, 20252 min read

Discover how retired professionals are finding purpose, flexibility, and adventure by starting second careers as travel advisors—no experience required.

Introduction:

After decades of hard work and dedication, retirement should be a time to enjoy life on your own terms. For many professionals, that includes more travel, more flexibility, and more purpose.

At Dugan’s Travels, we believe retirement doesn't mean slowing down—it means finally having the freedom to pursue your passions. For those who love travel and want to stay mentally active while earning income, becoming a travel advisor could be the perfect next chapter.

1. You Already Have the Skills

Retired professionals bring a lifetime of transferable skills to the table: communication, organization, customer service, and professionalism. Whether you worked in education, healthcare, administration, or management, those talents easily translate into helping clients plan and enjoy meaningful vacations.

2. Flexibility to Fit Your Lifestyle

Want to work part-time from home, travel while you work, or focus on helping family and friends with their trips? As a travel advisor, you decide your schedule. Whether it’s one trip a month or building a growing business, you’re in control.

3. A Purpose-Driven Encore Career

Many retirees aren’t looking to "do nothing"—they want meaningful ways to stay engaged. Travel advising lets you make a real impact by helping others experience the world. It’s fulfilling, energizing, and connects you with new people and experiences.

4. Support and Training for a Fresh Start

At Dugan’s Travels, we work with many advisors who joined us after retirement. You don’t need a background in the travel industry to succeed. We provide step-by-step training, one-on-one support, and access to top supplier partners to help you grow your business with confidence.

5. Travel More—and Make It Count

If travel is your retirement dream, why not turn it into something more? From FAM trips and cruise opportunities to hotel inspections and travel perks, being an advisor allows you to explore destinations while learning and earning along the way.

Ready to Start Your Next Adventure?

Retirement is a new beginning. If you’re ready to combine your passion for travel with the freedom to work when and how you want, becoming a travel advisor with Dugan’s Travels could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
