I joined Fora a few months ago after retiring from a career in law enforcement. I'd spent years traveling constantly — with my wife, my family, even just my father-in-law and me — and along the way I discovered I loved planning trips almost as much as taking them. What started as building itineraries in spreadsheets for fun turned into a real interest in becoming a Travel Advisor. I'll admit, I didn't have huge expectations going in. I figured I'd mostly book trips for close family and myself, and honestly the "savings on my own travel" angle never really panned out since most of my trips were already planned before I signed up. But that's turned out to be the smallest part of the story. In just a few months with Fora, my business has grown well beyond family bookings — I now have clients outside my immediate circle, including several referrals, which has been incredibly rewarding. The support, tools, and community Fora provides have made this transition from hobbyist trip-planner to working advisor feel achievable, even starting later in a second career. I'm planning to make this a full-time pursuit within the next year, and I'm looking forward to growing with Fora over the next decade. If you're on the fence about becoming a Travel Advisor, I couldn't recommend Fora more highly.
