This is paid travel work. You plan, guide, or host: honest locations, not trespass. You get paid a planning fee, a tour ticket, a host-agency commission, or you trade work for lodging while another skill earns cash. A normal week is research, bookings, guest messages, and on-the-ground logistics when a trip is live. Delayed trains are the job. Get the credential the work actually requires before the first stranger books.
A route you know and a free listing (Airbnb Experiences / Eventbrite). Liability rider optional (~$20–40/mo). First tour often 1–4 weeks.
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
Phone
Smartphone with data
Smartphone with data. A current-enough phone with a clean lens and a prepaid data starter. This is the camera, inbox, and maps in your pocket — not a cinema body.
First-aid kit
A stocked first-aid kit with gloves, gauze, and a tourniquet card. For a shop, stall, or trailhead — not a clinic.
Booking tool
Booking link tool
A booking-link seat with buffers, time zones, and a confirmation email. Software, not a receptionist.
Insurance
Liability insurance intake
An intake packet and a broker handoff for basic liability. This is filing help, not a bound insurance policy.
Local transit pass
A month of local transit (or a rideshare float of the same size) so a route job can move. This is fare, not a vehicle.
Public examples matched to this path by what they actually publish — not endorsements, and not a claim they run this exact shop. Handles change. Verify before you write to anyone.
No closely matched public example yet. Treat any lead you find as something to verify, not a directory listing.
