Set up shop as a part-time group tour planner/tour escort.

Not only can you get a complimentary vacation for every 15 people you sell a vacation to, you also get income from travel agency commissions (usually 10%-15% of the airfare, hotels and tours you arrange). Plus, since you're in business for yourself, your trip expenses are tax-deductible -- as are any travel expenses when you "scout" new destinations. All you need to get started is the ability to think on your feet and relate to all kinds and ages of people. To find clients, contact churches, banks (they frequently have senior citizen clubs), high school graduating classes, garden clubs, needlework guilds, investment clubs -- any group of people that are used to doing things together.
