THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
Teachers, nurses, mums, founders, a married couple. Different lives, same reason for joining: they wanted more control over their time and their travel. Here's a few of them, in their own words.

Lamiese H
Founder · South London / Essex
I joined a year ago to save on my own holidays and build passive income. So far I've saved £2,500 on my summer holiday and saved enough through referrals to take two months off and spend it with my family. My goal is to retire within two years and help as many people do the same.

Laura K
Yorkshire
I joined to save on my own travel, enjoy more adventures with my family, and build the freedom to retire earlier. So far I've saved over £4,500 on personal travel, booked more than £35,000 of holidays for clients, and built a team of 17 amazing people.

Lorell W
Wales
I joined to save on my own travel, but really I wanted a plan B after leaving my corporate job of 8 years, something flexible around my kids. I've since saved over £3,000 on my own holidays and started building a team for residual income and real freedom.

Chelsie J
Liverpool · Primary School Teacher
I'm obsessed with holidays and staycations, so saving on my own travel was the hook. I crave time freedom and financial stability, and I love that I can build this around my job. Since joining I've saved loads on travel and grown so much in confidence.

Charlotte M
Cotswolds · Primary School Teacher
I originally joined to save money on my own adventures, but it quickly offered so much more. Being part of this community opened my eyes to what's truly possible, and I'm now building a flexible business around my busy teaching schedule.

Natalie
West Yorkshire · NHS Nurse
I joined in December 2025 to build a second income for me and my son. Working as a nurse, I want to avoid burnout and knock a few years off retirement, and make memories with my boy visiting amazing places along the way.

Jenna T
Surrey / Essex
After 10+ years in corporate, I joined for the potential and freedom it can create, more time for myself and my children, less time chained to a desk. I love travelling and I'm excited to grow a team and help others build the lifestyle they want.

Emma R
Walsall, West Midlands
I've always loved planning holidays and finding the stays that make a trip unforgettable. What started as a way to save on my own travel is growing into a real passion for helping others do the same, alongside my career in education.

Hayley G
South London / Surrey
I've worked in aesthetics for 9 years, the last 6 for myself, and I love my clients, but it means trading time for money. I started this because I love to travel and love luxury, and being able to earn on bookings for myself and others felt like a no-brainer.

Nicola & Keith L
Northamptonshire
We initially joined to save on our own trips. Along the way we realised how many friends and family wanted our travel tips, that's when Langford Escapes was born. Save on holidays, earn from your travel knowledge, or build a team, you can focus on one or embrace all three.

Laura S
London
I joined when I was 6 months pregnant, wanting to save on my family's travel and build a legacy income for my child. I've since saved over £3,000 on my own travel, booked holidays for clients that saved them money and time, and built amazing friendships along the way.

Nikki M
I joined to fuel my love for exploring while saving money on my own trips. What I didn't expect was discovering I could help others do the same, building unforgettable adventures and a passive income along the way. The community here is genuinely uplifting.

Lizzi D
Full-Time Facialist

Aimee G
Liverpool
I've always loved to travel since I was old enough to leave on a plane unattended! I joined so I can explore more of the world, more often and to help as many people do the same! My goal is to make the aeroplane my office.

Leah D
Wakefield
I'm a mum from Wakefield who joined Elevate & Escape in March 2025 to build a second income after feeling stretched between nursery fees and missing time with my daughter. Within a few months I went full time. I now set my own hours around my toddler, I've booked over £80,000 in travel for clients, cut my own travel costs significantly, and I'm building a team built around lifestyle first.

Brooke F
Scotland
Unlike most of the team, I'd worked in travel my whole life, ten years as cabin crew, before resigning at the end of last year. I joined purely to save money on travel I was already doing, but it quickly became so much more: real friendships, more confidence, and experiences I wouldn't have had otherwise. My advice? Just give it a go, you never know what it might become.

Samar D
London
I'm a mum of four from London, and my family has always been my anchor. I brought my aesthetics business home to stay close to them, and alongside it I've now stepped into travel. What drew me in was the chance to build a residual income, freedom to travel with my kids, and something I can one day pass down to them. It's also given me an incredible community, and I'm excited to see how far we can take this together.

Naz
Slough
I'm a mum of two and a full-time driving instructor with a passion for travel. Joining as an independent travel agent has let me combine that passion with a flexible business built around my family accessing incredible deals for ourselves while helping others plan unforgettable holidays. For me it's about more than travel; it's about building long-term financial freedom and more quality time with my children.

Laura S
Beckenham
I'm a teacher who has always loved travel, adventure and experiencing new things. Saving money was the initial attraction, but being part of this team and seeing everything on offer has made it so much more than that. Building my own team is the next step!

Laura M
Dunmow
Following redundancy, I chose to build a more flexible career around my growing family and my passion for travel and that's how Luxe & Wild Travel was born. I specialise in designing unforgettable trips to luxury and extraordinary destinations, and alongside that I've helped my own family and others save significantly on the holidays that matter most.

Kat J
Liverpool
I'm a single mum who joined because I love travel and wanted discounts on my own holidays. But with over 10 years' experience in the industry, I also wanted to share that knowledge with others and take the stress out of finding them their perfect trip.

I'm a 19-year-old independent travel agent and content creation student, passionate about helping others create more freedom through travel and flexible income. I started Her Freedom Route to share real opportunities that give people more control over their time and their life.

Sue & Achasah
Dubai · Founders of Women Who Thrive
We're the founders of Women Who Thrive, a women-led wellbeing community in Dubai built on connection, support and belonging. After years spent bringing women together across the city, we joined Elevate & Escape to enjoy the benefits of travel for ourselves, while working in collaboration with the team to open the same opportunity to the community we've built. Through this partnership, we're helping the women of Women Who Thrive discover a flexible way to earn alongside everything else life has going on.

Sophia K
Dubai / UK
As a sustainability architect, I've spent my career designing some of the world's most inspiring hotels, resorts and residential communities. After living in Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Dubai and the UK, travel became much more than a holiday, it became part of my lifestyle. As a mum of two, I wanted the freedom to enjoy more adventures with my family while building an additional income that fitted around family life. Now I help other parents discover unforgettable holidays and support busy professionals and mums who are looking to create an extra income alongside their career.
