Guide Me Away
Tired of feeling like just another number at a large host agency?
At Guide Me Away, we're building something different.
We're a growing Canadian boutique travel agency offering experienced Travel Advisors competitive commissions of up to 80%, agency-generated lead opportunities, direct access to leadership, and the freedom to build their own business with genuine support.
We're not just providing booking tools. We're helping advisors grow their businesses.
About Guide Me Away
Founded in 2016, Guide Me Away is a Canadian boutique travel agency specializing in personalized, concierge-style travel experiences.
From luxury all-inclusive vacations and cruises to destination weddings, group travel, family getaways, and custom international journeys, we create memorable travel experiences tailored to our clients.
As a licensed British Columbia travel agency and proud member of TRAVELSAVERS and the Affluent Traveler Collection, we combine the personal service of an independent agency with the resources, supplier relationships, and industry connections of a larger travel network.
Our philosophy is simple:
Remember the trip. Forget the planning.
Why Join Guide Me Away?
We're not focused on becoming the biggest agency. We're focused on becoming one of the best agencies to be part of.
Here's what makes us different:
Agency-Generated Leads
We actively invest in our website, marketing campaigns, brand presence, and referral network to attract new clients. Advisors have opportunities to receive qualified travel inquiries and convert them into bookings, rather than relying exclusively on their own client base.
Competitive Commissions
Earn 70%–80% commission on self-generated bookings based on production, plus 65% on eligible agency-generated bookings.
You're More Than Just a Number
We're building a selective, collaborative team where advisors are valued, ideas are heard, and individual contributions matter.
Direct Access to Leadership
Work closely with experienced agency leadership without navigating multiple corporate departments or complicated support structures.
Freedom & Flexibility
Work remotely, manage your own schedule, develop your travel specialty, and grow your client portfolio at your own pace.
Established Supplier Relationships
Benefit from preferred supplier partnerships, industry connections, and professional resources through our agency and consortium affiliations.
Professional Tools & Marketing Support
Access agency-supported booking systems, CRM tools, professional branding, an established website, and ongoing marketing initiatives.
A Supportive, Collaborative Team
Join a community of travel professionals who share knowledge, exchange ideas, support one another, and celebrate each other's achievements.
An Opportunity to Grow With Us
As a boutique agency, we're flexible, innovative, and open to new ideas. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to our growth while developing your own successful travel business.
What You'll Do
Plan and book personalized vacations, cruises, all-inclusive packages, group travel, and custom international itineraries.
Consult with clients to understand their travel preferences, goals, budgets, and expectations.
Build and maintain strong, long-term client relationships.
Manage reservations, payments, changes, cancellations, and travel documentation.
Provide exceptional customer service before, during, and after travel.
Develop your own client portfolio through referrals, networking, and repeat business.
Respond to assigned agency-generated leads and convert inquiries into bookings.
Stay informed about destinations, supplier offerings, industry developments, and travel regulations.
Maintain accurate client and booking records using agency-approved systems.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for passionate, motivated Travel Advisors who take pride in their work and want to grow their business with a supportive, established agency.
Ideal candidates will have:
Previous experience as a Travel Advisor, Travel Agent, or Travel Consultant.
Strong knowledge of travel suppliers, booking platforms, and vacation planning.

Additional assets:
An existing client base or established travel business.

A Personal Note From Our Founder
"After more than 20 years in the travel industry, I've learned that the right agency can make all the difference in an advisor's success.
I've experienced the industry from different perspectives, including agency ownership and senior leadership. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and what travel professionals truly need to build a successful business.
When I founded Guide Me Away in 2016, my vision was to create an agency built on exceptional service, genuine relationships, and doing things differently.
That same philosophy now guides how we're growing our team.
I don't want Guide Me Away to become just another large host agency where advisors are numbers on a spreadsheet.
I want to build a place where talented travel professionals feel valued, supported, and excited about what they're creating.
An agency where you can reach out directly, share ideas, and explore opportunities without navigating layers of management.
I also believe an agency should actively contribute to its advisors' success. That's why we're investing in marketing, technology, supplier relationships, and generating new client opportunities, rather than simply providing a booking platform and expecting advisors to figure everything out themselves.
We're still growing, and that's part of what makes this opportunity exciting. The people who join us today will have a voice in shaping what Guide Me Away becomes tomorrow.
I'm not looking to build the biggest travel agency. I'm looking to build one of the best agencies to be part of.
