Working from home as a travel agent

I am going to try to get a job doing this as it is something I have always fancied doing but was wondering if anyone knew of some good companies to try, i don't want to be ripped off!

    Travel Counsellors seem to be pretty good although I think you might need some training. I use Travel Counsellors when I book my business travel.

    I know someone who left her job to set up with Travel Counsellors. She had years of experience in travel. Within six months she was back to her full time job after regretting ever doing it. Travel Counsellors are only good for business travel so you are limited with your customer base. Be careful!
