Mixed-language family? Grandparents in Málaga or Malmö? I'll keep everyone in the loop in their own language.

How it works

Three steps from idea to sun lounger.

Tell me what you're after

Fill in the enquiry form below. Rough ideas are fine. Dates, budget, who's going and what you love on holiday is plenty to start.

I come back with options

I search across tour operators, cruise lines and hotels, then send you a short list with prices and my honest view on each.

I book it and look after you

Once you're happy, I handle the booking, send your documents and stay on hand before, during and after the trip.

You don't pay extra for me.

There's no planning fee. Travel companies pay agents a commission that's already built into the price, so you get a personal service for the same price you'd see booking it yourself.

About me

Hi, I'm Tintin.

I've always been the one who plans the holidays. Friends and family kept asking me to sort theirs too, so I made it official. Travel by Tintin is me doing what I love, for you.

I work with a host travel agency, which means I can book with the big tour operators, cruise lines and airlines, and your holiday is protected in the same way as booking with a high street agent.

I'm fluent in English, Spanish and Swedish. I can plan with you in any of the three, speak directly to hotels and local suppliers in Spain, Latin America and Scandinavia, and look after families and groups who don't all share one language.

I'd much rather understand what makes a holiday great for you than sell you whatever's on offer this week. Ask me anything.

Enquire

Let's plan your trip.

The more you tell me, the better the first set of options will be. I usually reply within one working day.

Type of trip
No obligation. I'll only use your details to reply about your trip.
Join the team

Already the one who plans everyone's holidays? Get paid for it.

I became an independent travel agent to build something of my own around family life. If you love travel and like the idea of working flexibly from home, I'd love to show you how it works.

Earn commission on what you book

Commission is already built into the price of a holiday. When you book it, you earn it. That includes your own trips and those of friends and family.

Work when it suits you

Evenings, school hours, alongside a job or full time. You choose how much you take on and grow at your own pace.

Training from day one

You join through a host agency with step-by-step training, booking tools and support, so no travel industry experience is needed.

You won't be doing it alone

I'll be there as your mentor, and you'll be part of a friendly community of agents sharing tips, wins and supplier know-how. I can mentor you in English, Spanish or Swedish.

This could suit you if

  • You spend hours researching holidays, for fun
  • You want flexible work that fits around children or another job
  • You like helping people and have a wide circle of friends
  • You want to build a small business of your own, from home
  • You'd like to learn about travel perks and industry rates

Questions people ask

Do I need travel industry experience?

No. The host agency's training covers booking systems, suppliers and how to find your first clients. Most people who join have never worked in travel.

Can I do this if English isn't my first language?

Yes. The training is in English, but I can explain anything in Spanish or Swedish, and speaking another language is a real advantage when you book for your own community.

Can I keep my current job?

Yes. Lots of agents start part time in the evenings and at weekends and build from there.

Is there a cost to get started?

There's a joining fee and a small monthly fee to the host agency, which covers your training, booking tools and financial protection. Ask me for the current figures and I'll talk you through exactly what you get.

Are there targets or quotas?

No. There are no sales targets. Book as much or as little as suits you.

How much can I earn?

It depends entirely on how much you book and how much time you put in. Commission is usually paid after your customer has travelled. I'll be open with you about what's realistic when we talk.

Is this a pyramid scheme?

No. You earn from real holidays that real customers book. Sharing the opportunity with others is entirely optional, and I'll explain exactly how it works so you can decide for yourself.

Are the holidays I book protected?

Yes. Bookings go through the host agency, so customers get the same financial protection as booking with an established travel agent.
