We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Pace Clayton. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Pace below.
Pace, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
I have been in the travel business for almost 13 years and have absolutely loved it. I started my own company almost 1.5 years ago and have not looked back! BOOK IT PACE is a travel collective that offers a holistic booking experience to guide you in the pursuit of travel. Whether you are a soul searcher finding zen on a yoga retreat in Bali or ready to connect with nature on the Peruvian Amazon, BOOK IT PACE offers an experience for you.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I have always cultivated a stunningly high amount of wanderlust. As the oldest of eight children, I was surrounded by people, life, and ideas. I quickly developed an interest in the world beyond my surroundings. Traveling throughout the United States and the Caribbean while growing up sparked a passion that would become a lifelong pursuit of culture and the world. Travel is a cultural education critical to people of all ages. I am passionate about including my children in the adventures I curate and helping other families achieve the same objective. Visiting other cultures brings a valuable perspective that creates a loving, balanced, and holistic lifestyle. Physical, mental, and spiritual wellness is a core value, and I believe travel has a tremendous impact on an individual’s overall health, well-being, and happiness. I have been in the travel business for about 13 years and started my travel consultancy, BOOK IT PACE, about 2 years ago. I am also developing a self-service option on the new BOOK IT PACE website that will launch later this year! From honeymoons to family vacations, we book it all and love meeting new clients to help them meet their travel goals.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Starting your own business is a huge undertaking but one of the most exciting and inspiring things I have done. It has been an adventurous road! Travel is always surprising; you must roll with the changes, delays, surprises, and excitement along the way. I often book many group trips with 200-plus people traveling, and you have to be flexible and calm in learning to navigate the process and take care of any situations that may arise. I am excited about the next chapter in the business and love meeting our new clients.
Can you talk to us about how your side-hustle turned into something more.
Travel started off as as side hustle for me. I have been in real estate, insurance, retail etc! I have always loved travel and the opportunity to help people experience the world. So I started with booking wellness group trips for clients and then the referrals and opportunities grew. It is now my full time job and love what it brings to my life. I now plan trips for people all over the world from Sanctuaries to Safaris and every journey in between.
