We’d like an extra income stream that we can use to bring in a little bit extra each month. Both DH and I have quite a bit of free time, but see rarely due to the nature of our work lives.
DH works away from home for 3 weeks at a time. During these weeks he spends every evening sitting around by himself. Meanwhile I’m at home getting the DC to bed, then have a few hours of free time before bed.
When DH is home he looks after DC while I work. However, DC will be starting nursery soon, meaning that DH will have some full days at home while I’m at work. And I’ll have some full days at home alone while hes away at work.

Most of my free time will be while DC sleeps so obviously I need something I can come and go from as time allows.
DHs time off is never fully set either and can often change last minute so something fully flexible would be preferred!

I have a side hustle / extra revenue stream. I run my own travel business, so I get to research and book holidays for other people. I also get discount on my own travel/holidays etc. I love it😍

How does that work as a side hustle, @NicolaJT , do customers not need to contact you during the day/at short notice?

NicolaJT · 16/02/2023 11:06

@tribpot I wouldn't say they contact me at short notice to book a holiday, most people book months in advance. It's a side hustle in that I do it in my own time around my day job and it brings in extra income.

tribpot · 16/02/2023 12:04

I was thinking more of them contacting you if something goes wrong on the holiday @NicolaJT but I guess that's not something you offer, or it happens so infrequently it's not an issue?

NicolaJT · 16/02/2023 12:06

@tribpot I do support customers if things go wrong but it's never happened to my customers!!
