Share your passion
If you are a seasoned traveler with a passion for helping others experience more on their vacations, this is the agency for you. We are looking for individuals who want to truly make a difference and show clients a new way of traveling!
Control your schedule
Our agents all have very different goals with Runaway. Some are stay-at-home parents, others are retired, a few have other full-time jobs. The beauty of being an Adventure Specialist with Runaway Travel is that you have control over when you work, how much you work and where you work.
Start your adventure
Runaway is actively looking for independent contractors in California, Colorado, Hawaii, New York, South Carolina and Washington, D.C. to join our team and start transforming how others look at travel. We are passionate about travel and are looking for others who share our enthusiasm. We can help you start a new adventure with us whether it is to change careers, work a little on the side to fund your own vacations, or just to share your passion for travel with others.
Your Journey Awaits
Why Work For Runaway Travel Company?
“Starting Runaway Travel was the best decision I’ve made for both my career and my family.
After leaving my corporate job to stay home with my kids, I missed having something that was mine — a sense of purpose beyond my role as ‘mom.’ Runaway Travel gave me exactly that.
I could plan trips during nap time, answer client emails after bedtime, and still be the one who did school pickup every day. There’s no guilt, no pressure — just genuine flexibility and support from a team who understand what it means to juggle motherhood and ambition.
The training was comprehensive, the tools are easy to use, and the community is inspiring. I get to use my professional skills again, earn an income, and still be fully present for my kids.
Working for Runaway Travel has given me something I didn’t realize I was missing — balance. I’m proud of the business I’m building, and even prouder that I get to show my kids what’s possible when you create work that fits your life instead of the other way around.”

“When I decided to stay home while my kids were young, I still wanted to do something fun and genuinely interesting. Every position I have ever held required strong organizational and planning skills, which come naturally to me. I have always enjoyed travel as well. So when the opportunity to join Runaway Travel presented itself, I knew it was a chance to do something I would love while still having the freedom to make my own schedule. Being a travel agent gives me the flexibility to work at times that fit my life, without taking away from time with my family and friends.
This role has also given me the chance to learn about a wide variety of travel experiences and destinations that I may not have discovered otherwise. It has encouraged me to try new places and new adventures, expand how often I travel, and build friendships both through clients and within the industry.
I truly enjoy helping others plan their adventures and create memories with the people they love. Hearing their feedback afterward—the highlights, what they recommend, and what they would avoid—continues to grow my travel knowledge and passion for what I do.“

“I already have a full-time job that I enjoy, but travel has always been my passion. When I found Runaway Travel, I realized I didn’t have to choose between stability and creativity — I could have both.
I started as a part-time advisor to earn some extra income and to share my love of travel with others. The flexibility is what makes it possible — I can plan trips on evenings or weekends, work from my laptop, and fit it seamlessly into my existing routine.
There’s no rigid schedule or pressure, just genuine support and guidance from a team that wants you to succeed at yourpace.
What surprised me most was how rewarding it feels. Every booking is a little win — not just financially, but personally. It’s my creative outlet, my side passion, and it adds joy (and bonus travel perks!) to my life.
Runaway Travel lets me keep my career while fueling my wanderlust — and turning it into something that actually pays off.”
