More than 18 million Americans describe themselves as digital nomads, people who work remotely and travel while staying connected with technology. You may be wondering how these globetrotters earn an income and explore the world – especially when they have a busy lifestyle.  

People with spouses, children and other responsibilities may want to learn how to earn some money from home. Even full-time employees tied to a location may be looking for ways to make money on the weekend.  

As a Dream Vacations Advisor, you can work from home or anywhere in the world, design your schedule and earn supplemental income by selling epic adventures. 

How to Make Extra Money from Home Part Time 

At the start of your Dream Vacations Advisor journey, you’re paired with a mentor to guide you through the setup process and teach you the essential skills and information needed to connect clients with their ideal vacations. Next, you dive into online training at your own pace with the flexibility of completing courses entirely online. Our eLearning portal features more than 1,500 modules designed to help you expand your knowledge. 

As travel inquiries roll in, you offer advice, plan itineraries and book vacations for clients. You may also suggest extras like insurance, shore excursions and restaurants, so you’ll need the resources to stay current with the latest travel trends.
