Now comes the part that can make or break your launch: choosing the right homeworking package.

Let’s be honest — the internet is flooded with companies promising the dream: “Work from anywhere! Be your own boss!”

But when you look closely, all they actually give you is a login, a dodgy PDF, and a logo.

At Medlife, we do things differently — because you're not just a user. You're the CEO of your own travel brand.

So let’s break down exactly what to look for (and avoid) — and help you choose the right package to build a travel business you actually love waking up to.

A homeworking package is basically the toolkit you need to start and run your own travel business — without reinventing the wheel.

At a minimum, it should give you:

• Access to tour operators, booking platforms, and supplier rates

• Tech systems for quoting, booking, and managing clients

• Some kind of training (ideally not from 2009)

• Support, community, and branding options

At best, it should give you:

• The tools to launch fast

• The training to grow long-term

• A setup that makes you look professional from day one

At Medlife, we offer two clear options — both designed for different goals, budgets, and ambitions.

Perfect for beginners who want to get started quickly without pressure, but with proper tools.
