Benefits

Family-First Benefits. It’s not only how we describe our travel company, it’s the core theme for our brand as well as the driving force behind I Could Eat! (our parent company). Here are some of the top benefits our team members love:
Mandatory PTO / Vacation. Our kids need to see from their parents that hard work is a good thing. Our kids also need to see that their parents get to enjoy the benefits of working hard and spend quality time together! If you do not schedule time off, our team will schedule it for you. Plus, being a Travel Company gives us travel perks we love to share with individual contributors!
Family Addition Bonus. We love big families so we give team members a bonus when welcoming a new baby or adopting.
Ownership. Each of our team members receives incentives and ownership opportunities in the company. When the company succeeds or has a non-linear outcome, then we will all share in that win together!
Location. We are a 100% remote company and you can work anywhere in the world. Our leadership team is based in Texas and Florida. If you are not located in the UTC-6 or UTC-5, then you will be expected to shift at least 3 hours of your workday so that it overlaps our standard 9a-5p.

About Famvia Travel, Inc.
Famvia Travel is a consumer travel startup and travel agency focused on providing families with stress-free vacation experiences. Its founder had been planning and booking travel for families for almost a decade when a negative experience with a well known travel agency prompted him to rethink the host agency and travel agency model for families everywhere. Now famvia.com has grown into one of the premier destinations for families to plan, book and earn travel rewards on every vacation. Their in-house agency has grown to generate 7-figures in annual travel bookings and offers which gives their independent travel advisors an opportunity to start a lucrative side-hustle or even replace their full-time income.
