Hi, and thanks for visiting. To start part-time, Working Solutions would be a great option since you can work part-time and set your own schedule. You will need to check their site periodically to see when they have travel-related positions available. Another option is to find a host agency that will give you the foundation you need; here is an excellent site to get you started.
