Let's Be Smart About Travel.

I'm Rhys, founder of Kingsley Global.
My background is in FinTech, DevOps and project management – I’m that organised mate who always ends up planning everything.

I’ve explored the world in some mad ways, from driving a little Nissan Micra to Mongolia,
swimming with hammerhead sharks, and playing 18 holes at Sandy Lane (IYKYK).

That mix of precision and adventure means I can help you in three ways:

1) I've Got Serious Travel Experience

From driving a Micra to Mongolia to swimming with hammerhead sharks, I've planned some mad trips. I've also helped mates book everything from Vegas stag dos to luxury honeymoons. If you need someone who knows the systems, the suppliers, and the shortcuts to help you navigate your next booking, I've got you. Whether it's your own trip or helping a friend, I can show you the ropes.

2) Becoming Your Own Agent

If you're already booking your own trips, shopping around to get the best prices, taking pictures on holiday, posting them online, and sharing recommendations with your friends, then you're already doing the work of a travel agent.

The only difference? You're not getting paid for it.

3) Build A Travel Business

Want long-term income, not just commission? I’ll show you how to grow a flexible travel business that fits around real life, because travel naturally comes up in everyday conversation. With the right support and systems, you can turn those chats into smart, sustainable income without pressure or pushiness.

The Story That Started It All

I've visited 46 countries.
But driving a little Nissan Micra to Mongolia
changed everything.

Back in 2016, I drove a Nissan Micra Nissan Micra on the Mongol Rally route Mickey the Micra at the beginning of our rally from England to Mongolia Map showing the 13,000 mile journey route to Mongolia Planned route from England to Mongolia – 13,000 miles, 19 countries, and a lifetime's worth of chaos in two months.

Back in 2016, I drove a Nissan Micra Nissan Micra on the Mongol Rally route Mickey the Micra at the beginning of our rally from England to Mongolia Map showing the 13,000 mile journey route to Mongolia Planned route from England to Mongolia – 13,000 miles, 19 countries, and a lifetime's worth of chaos in two months.

We threaded our way across Europe Threading our way across Europe Pit stops in Vienna for Panda's and Serbia for good beer , partied on the Black Sea Partying in Constanta on the Black Sea Vodka might be vegan but it's still lethal. Passed out on top of my tent! , and rolled into Turkey Crossing into Turkey during a coup No pyro, no party! during the middle of a coup, complete with flares the lot!

In Shiraz, Iran Nasir al-Mulk Mosque - Shiraz, Iran Apparently the birth place of Polo we felt the heat, then crossed into the holy city of Mashhad Mashhad - Holy city Mega mosque . We stayed at the presidential hotel in Turkmenistan Turkmenistan - Presidential hotel Turkmenistan has been dubbed North Korea 2.0 and visited the Doorway to Hell Doorway to Hell crater The Darvaza gas crater has been burning since 1971 . We rescued puppies in Tajikistan Puppies in Tajikistan Rabies is scared of me. and camped on a football pitch in Kyrgyzstan Sunday League in Kyrgyzstan Waking up to a cup of Joe and Sunday league football .

In Kazakhstan Fixing the car in Kazakhstan Used a medal to fix an oil leak we used a hot air baloon medal to fix an oil leak on the roadside after hitting a big rock. Later in Mongolia Traffic in Mongolia Inspecting the damage before we got nicked a fire engine crashed into us and we ended up detained at the station. CCTV proved it wasn't our fault, and thanks to a contact at the British Embassy Support from the British Embassy No face, no case. we walked out the next morning.

We crossed the finish line in Ulan-Ude, Russia Finish line in Ulan-Ude, Russia Not a single break down from Mickey, a few from me though... without a single breakdown and celebrated on the Trans-Siberian Express Carriage on the Trans-Siberian Express "Uncle Russia" . where "Uncle Russia" looked after us the entire way, providing we kept losing at poker he kepts the wine coming... Seemed the safest option.

That trip sparked my passion for travel. The skills I learned? They underpin everything I do today.

My story thereafter

The rally wasn't just a Top Gear-style challenge... it demanded relentless planning, fast problem-solving, and staying calm when Google isn't an option. When you're dealing with corrupt border guards, broken axles in the Gobi Desert Using old bike tyre for new bushes , or being arrested in Mongolia Incredible views , you learn quickly.

Since then, I've been lucky enough to experience luxury stays at The Ladera, St Lucia Views of The Pitons from our room , play golf at Sandy Lane, Barbados Tiger Woods got married here , and even scuba dive with hammerhead sharks Yeah I know it's a turtle, but it's a nice shot aint it? .

I've become the person people call when they need something sorting, Vegas stag trips, honeymoons in Hawaii, Mauritius and Dubai, city breaks across Europe, and easy all-inclusive escapes in Turkey.

And most people don't need the madness, for many, the bravest part of a holiday is ordering "dos cervezas por favor."Or just "two beers, please." for those who are uncultured. and that's fine.

That mix of adventure and precision taught me what it takes to build systems, solve problems under pressure, and help others succeed. Now I use that experience to help people turn their love of travel into smart, sustainable income. Whether that's becoming your own agent for your trips, or building a full scale business.

The Business Details

Let's keep it real for a second.

A lot of people nowadays like to DIY their trips to try and save money. That's great. I get it. But, here's the thing: the average person doesn't have access to the systems, the supplier rates, or the industry perks that licensed travel agents do.

So, if you're already booking your own trips, shopping around to get the best prices, taking pictures on holiday, posting them online, and sharing recommendations with your friends, then you're already doing the work of a travel agent.

The only difference? You're not getting paid for it. And you don't have access to the professional tools that make it easier, faster, and more profitable.

So, if you're curious about how any of this actually works, the ITA side, the REP side, the licences, tools, perks, protections, here's a simple, honest breakdown.

The Independent Travel Agent (ITA)

For people who want to book smarter, earn commission back, and enjoy agent perks.

  • Start your own fully licensed online travel business
  • Earn on trips you book (yours or anyone else's)

  • No quotas, no sales targets, no pressure
  • 100+ global suppliers (Jet2, TUI, Virgin, Etihad, Disney, Universal, Royal Caribbean, P&O Cruises, Cunard, hotels, theme parks, attractions and more)
  • Full flexibility - your travel, your pace

The REP Side (Optional)

Only if you want to grow a team & earn long-term residual income.

  • Licensed via our accredited host travel agency
  • Globally recognised IATA number
  • ABTA & ATOL protection on applicable bookings
  • Monthly bonuses & long-term residual income
  • No targets, no pressure - share it how you want
  • Leadership training & community support

FAQs

A few of the most common questions about becoming an Independent Travel Agent and as well as the REP option.

Is this one of those pyramid schemes?

No, and they are illegal. This is a fully licensed and accredited travel business. ATOL, ABTA, CLIA and more. You earn commission by booking travel, and optionally by referring others. No weird loopholes. Just smart business.

Do I need experience in travel or sales?

Not at all. Training is included and it is self paced. Whether you are new to travel, marketing, or both, everything is designed to support you from day one. Most people start with zero experience and plenty of curiosity.

I already work full time. Will I have time for this?

Yes, absolutely. Most people in the team balance this with jobs, families, and busy lives. There are no sales targets or shift patterns. You work around your own schedule, in your own time. Even booking your own trips saves you money and earns you commission.

What can I book as an agent?

Pretty much anything travel. Hotels, flights, cruises, experiences, theme parks and spa days. From budget breaks to five star luxury. We partner with over 100 suppliers globally, including names like Jet2, Disney, Virgin Voyages and Royal Caribbean.

What if I change my mind?

You are never locked in.

There is a 30 day money back guarantee for your Independent Travel Agent business. You can explore the systems, tools, and training completely risk free.

If you have added the REP side to earn residual income as well, that is covered by a 90 day guarantee.

Try it. Explore it. See if it is for you. If not, walk away. No hard feelings, no ties, no penalties.

Do I need to be good at social media?

No. Some people build this quietly, just booking for themselves or close friends. Others love using social media to grow their network. There is no single way to do it, and training is there if you want to explore it later.

How much does it cost to join?

It is £142 to set up your travel business. That gets you fully licensed, trained, and ready to book straight away. From month two, it is £32 per month for your agent subscription.

Want to earn from referrals as well? Add the REP side for just £14 per month more. That unlocks the passive income potential from sharing the opportunity.

There is no contract and you can cancel any time. You get a 30 day money back guarantee as an agent and a 90 day guarantee on the REP side. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

What do I actually get for that cost?

You get access to a professional booking system, supplier perks, training, support, accreditation, a community of travel professionals, and your own website. It is a full business in a box, not just a side hustle.

How does commission work?

Every time you book travel as a licensed ITA, you get paid. Whether it is your own holiday, a friend's honeymoon, or a trip for someone in your network, you earn commission on it. From short stays to luxury trips, the potential adds up quickly.

Generally, commissions range from around 8 to 16 percent depending on the supplier and trip type.

For example, the average Disney World holiday for a family of four in 2025 is around £5,500. At 12 percent commission, that is £660 in your pocket for helping someone book a trip they were going to take anyway.

You start by keeping 70 percent of the total commission. The rest goes to the host agency for support, insurance, tools, and admin. As you grow, this can increase to 80 percent.

Because there are no quotas or restrictions, you can earn on your own terms, from the occasional city break to becoming someone's go to travel resource.

This is real money from something people are already spending on anyway. Why let the big companies keep it?

Can I do this from outside the UK?

Yes. We are live in the UK, Ireland, USA, the Caribbean and a few other global territories. If you are not in the UK, get in touch and we will send you the correct information for your region.
