Can You Earn Income From Hosting Trips?

From Passion to Paycheck: Hosting Explained

How much money do Creators make hosting group travel trips?

If you’ve scrolled through TrovaTrip and thought, “Wait… do Creators actually make money doing this?”  You’re not alone; it’s one of the most common questions we get!

The truth: Some Hosts earn income, but it depends on the trip price and how many Travelers join. On average, we’ve seen Hosts earn around $7,000 per trip, but earnings are never guaranteed.

Let's dive into it.

Your Role as a Host

 

Think of a TrovaTrip Host as the creative director of an unforgettable group adventure. 

They’re responsible for:

  • Choosing a location and itinerary for the trip (yoga in Bali? food tour in Italy? hiking in Patagonia?)
  • Curating the vibe and setting the trip price
  • Inviting their audience members to book spots and confirm the trip
  • Establishing the tone for the entire experience
  • Joining Travelers on an unforgettable adventure!

In short: Trova Hosts gets to focus on the creative side, not the operational chaos.

So… Can Hosts Earn Money From Hosting Trips?

Usually, but not always. Some Hosts earn income when Travelers book their trips. Other times, a Host may not earn anything at all. It all comes down to:

  1. The price the Host establishes for the trip
  2. How many Travelers join

Trova doesn’t guarantee income. We simply provide the tools, platform, and support to help Hosts build and share their experiences. Some Hosts treat this like a side passion, while others go all in. The amount of income a Host makes depends on the location, their audience, and how many spots they are able to fill.

Value Beyond a Paycheck

Sure, some Hosts earn from their trips—but for many, the real value lies in:

  • Bringing their community together IRL
  • Sharing something they love (yoga, food, photography, wellness...you name it!)
  • Traveling to bucket-list places with people who genuinely want to be there
  • Turning passion into connection

Getting paid can be a bonus, but the heart of hosting is creating shared experiences with the community you've worked so hard to build.
