This week on The Travel Business Unpacked podcast, host Meredith Calloway is joined by Erin Camin of Brilliant Escapes. After a decade in the New York ad world, Erin Camin took a six-month sabbatical that turned into ten months of slow travel and soul searching, ultimately leading her to build her own boutique travel business.

In this episode, Erin shares her journey from burnout to business owner, how she navigated a pandemic-era pause, and the patient growth it took to find her niche in luxury dive trips.

They also explore:

• How to align your travel business with your personal values and lifestyle
• Strategies for destination matching and creating tailored client experiences
• The realities of running a travel business while working full-time
• Redefining luxury travel through personalization, connection, and thoughtful pacing

Whether you’re just starting out or figuring out your next chapter, Erin’s story will inspire you to trust your instincts, take the leap, and design a business that fits the life you want.
