Want to work with us?
We are not currently hiring associates. This space will be updated when we are. In the meantime, there a still a couple of ways you can work with us even if you cannot work for us…
Pied Pipers: We are always looking for social leaders who can be “Pied Pippers” and put together traveling groups. We cannot offer compensation, but there are opportunities to earn reduced travel if minimum passenger booking quotas are met. If you belong to a social club, service organization, church group, Meetup or other organization that likes to travel, either domestically or internationally, then this a great chance to put your connections to work and earn travel discounts. Contact us to discuss.
Business 2 Business: Are you a leader in your organization looking for a way to add value for your members, reward your employees, or attract new customers? We can work with you to create incentive and reward programs, cost-share at marketing/sales events, host lunch-and-learns – the possibilities are limitless. Give us a call to discuss how we can collaborate.
Tour Operators or Destination Managers: The success of our business depends on having a large network of high quality suppliers to connect with our clientele. If you run a tour or manage a property and would like us to consider sending your clients your way, please reach out to us to discuss vetting details.
Giving back to our community
We were raised to believe your success is a gift and the best way to say thank you for it is by paying it forward. That’s why we remain active in local community service organizations through both financial support and volunteering. We also believe that to be a traveler is to be a guest in someone else’s home, often borrowing their valued natural and cultural resources. Our parents taught us to leave a place better than when you arrived and to treat something borrowed as though it were your own. It’s important to us that we live by these principles when we travel too so we purchase carbon-offsets, support local small businesses, avoid tourist attractions that exploit people and animals, and never participate in tours that take from or can damage the destination’s resources. We also choose to spend our travel dollars on those suppliers who share our belief in giving back to the people and environments where they operate. We ask that you consider doing the same.
