Work with me
Do this workalongside me
I am an independent travel consultant, and I am open to hearing from people who would like to do this work too — beside me, not beneath me.
A note from Lorna
People ask mehow I got here
More often than you would think, the question at the end of it is some version of: could I do what you do? The honest answer is that I would like some company. This work is made of conversations about where to go and why, and it is better done with people who care about the same things.
So I have made a place to say so. If you have been turning the idea over, write to me below. Tell me who you are, how you travel, and why this appeals to you. I read every note myself.
This is a conversation, not a recruitment page. There is nothing to sign up for today, and nothing to buy.
What it means
Independent, with support behind you
Consultants in this line of work are usually independent, connected to a host agency rather than employed by one. Here is what that means in plain terms.
Your own travelers
You look after your own clients, under your own name. You are the person they call, the one who knows how they like to travel, and the one who plans the trip from the first question to the last night.
A host agency behind you
I work independently, connected to a host agency that stands behind the business for the pieces that need one. That is the shape of it here too: your own work, with real support underneath rather than a manager above.
Alongside, not underneath
I am not looking to build a team with me at the top of it. I would like a handful of people I can talk to about a trip, trade ideas with, and send a client to when the fit is better on their side.
Who I am looking for
Five things,roughly
None of them is a credential. Together they are the sort of person I would enjoy planning a trip with.
- 01
Someone who travels, and has opinions about it
Not necessarily far or expensively. Just someone who notices the difference between a good room and a beautiful one.
- 02
Someone warm on the phone
Most of this work is listening. People tell you what they want in pieces, and the job is to hear all of it.
- 03
Someone who likes the detail
The transfer that has to be at the right door, the table booked for the right hour. The trip is made in the details.
- 04
Someone who would rather do it properly than quickly
I would rather plan four journeys well than forty badly. If that sounds like a relief rather than a limit, we will get along.
- 05
Someone open to learning the rest
You do not need to have done it all. Bring the care and the curiosity; the trade is learnable.
The next step
Write to meabout it
Four questions, and the last two matter most. There is no form to fill in twice and no package to choose — this is simply how the conversation starts.
