Not Just Another ‘Get Paid to Travel’ Course!
Travel is a beautiful privilege, but also a complex one.
To see a new land, breathe in its smell, speak to its people, and do some soul-searching along the way is a gift not everyone gets. But with this gift comes a responsibility we don’t talk about enough. Because when done thoughtlessly, travel harms the very places we fall in love with.
From overcrowding and environmental strain to cultural erosion and loss of local identity, travel driven by trends and algorithms often does more harm than good. And that’s especially true in the world of travel creators, where the focus can quickly shift from telling real stories to chasing viral shots. And from understanding a place deeply to simply checking it off for content.
And that’s the reason Shivya decided to create this course.
The Problem With the Current Travel Creator Space
Shivya has been a travel storyteller for over a decade, and evolved and adapted her deeply human storytelling style to multiple mediums.
The thing is, becoming a professional travel creator is far more than just pretty pictures and aesthetic videos. There’s plenty of advice out there on ‘getting paid to travel’ – on creating hooks, going viral and landing free stays. Sadly, a lot of that success is either far-fetched or hard to sustain long-term or both.
A Course That Goes Beyond Overnight Success and Viral Hooks
‘Get Paid to Travel the World With Purpose’ isn’t just about how to make money while travelling. It’s about how to do it right – and sustain it long term.
This course is designed to be a blend of practical skills, mindset shifts, and ethical understanding. It guides you on travelling with intention, how to turn your values into your content strategy, and how to build a career that feels aligned, not just flashy.
Here’s what makes the course different:
1. It Starts With Purpose, Not Platforms
The first chapter isn’t about Instagram or YouTube. It’s about you. Your ‘why.’
The course helps you identify your reason for being and how that connects to travel and storytelling. Because if you don’t know what you stand for, you’ll get lost trying to stand out.
2. It’s Built Around Ethics and Responsibility
The course explores the impact of travel on individuals and their surroundings. How to be a more conscious traveller and a more respectful creator. How to collaborate with locals, avoid exploitation, and be aware of your privilege. These aren’t bonus lessons, they’re the foundation.
3. It Helps You Build a Career That Feels Right for You
Not everyone wants to be an “influencer,” and that’s okay. The course explores multiple income paths: writing, photography, workshops, partnerships with responsible brands, etc. It helps you to build a career that’s values-driven and that leverages your strengths.
4. It’s Rooted in Real Stories
The person behind the course isn’t just teaching. Shivya is living this path.
You’ll hear stories from her about how she carved unconventional journeys – working with ethical tourism companies, creating award-winning content, and staying true to her voice without giving in to the pressure of the social media race.
5. It’s Not About Overnight Fame, But Long-Term Fulfilment
This isn’t a “get famous quick” course. It’s a slow, meaningful, step-by-step guide to building a body of work and a presence that people trust. It focuses on storytelling that lingers. On brand building that’s honest. And on travel that transforms, not just your feed, but your life.
Why This Matters Now
More people than ever want to be travel creators. But very few are being taught how to do it consciously.
As the planet bears the weight of overtourism and superficial content, the need for mindful creators has never been greater. People who can slow down, look closer, and share what they find with respect.
Travel can be a force for good, but only if those telling its stories are asking the right questions.
Who This Course Is For
This course is for anyone who:
- Loves to travel and wants to build a career around it, but not at the cost of their values.
- Is tired of the influencer rat race and wants to do things differently.
- Believes stories can shape minds and create change.
- Wants to travel deeper, slower, and with more meaning.
- Wants to make money, but also make a difference.
If that’s you, this course is for you.
Shivya created this course because there are too many travel creators chasing trends and too many trends that are diluting the essence of travel. But there’s another way. A slower, more intentional, more fulfilling path.
You can get paid to travel the world.
And the course teaches you how to do it with purpose.
If you’re ready to step into that journey, not just of places, but of personal and creative growth, we’d love to welcome you.
