Sure everyone loves holidays and vacations, but are you among those who have the travel bug such that it makes you unhappy to stay at home? But the workload and commitment restrict you to limited vacation days and thereby fewer opportunities to travel?
In such a case, how about living your dream without having to give up on your job? How about a job that allows you to travel? Or how about doing your job all about travel? Would you be interested in a position that involves traveling?
Get fair pay, accommodation, and a chance to travel and explore places. Mix work and pleasure with these career options –
Flight Attendant
This is one of the most well-known and most liked jobs for those who wish to travel and earn, for as part of the crew you are required to travel to whichever destination the flight goes to, and this could be both domestic and international, hence giving them an excellent chance to go around and earn at the same time. Moreover, the accommodation is also provided by the airlines.
Airplane Pilot
As interesting as it may sound, not everyone can be part of the flight crew, and to add to it, the taxing job is also not something each one would prefer. Hence another option for those who wish for something similar is a chartered plane pilot/crew. This is less strenuous as the trips are less frequent, more flexible, and predetermined routes.
Cruise Ship Worker
This is another such job that allows you to travel to different countries and different continents. You are on the move for months together while also having ample time in hand to explore, interact and meet new people.
Tour Guide
While traveling, you also get to share your experiences and knowledge of a destination with other travel enthusiasts. Doesn’t that sound exciting? That’s what you get to do every day as a tour guide, while you also get paid for the same. Now that sure sounds like a dream job to us.
Construction Contractor
If you have some expertise or interest in the field of construction, then this could be a good option for you. For, construction contractors are often called upon on-site to help with the planning and the execution of the same.
Journalists and Reporters
Not all journalists and reporters sit in the studio, and the ones who go on-site aren’t only sent to worn-torn regions to report from. There are also a lot of travel journalists that visit tourist spots, major metropolitan cities, and more and write or telecast their experiences.
Blogger/ Vlogger/ Photographer
Lately, one of the most common professions has been these creative ones that give one the liberty to go around and write or capture their experiences and activities. Though this is much like travel journalism, it has more of a sense of informality and ease, hence making it more and more popular.
Freelancer
If you work on a freelance, work from home basis, and are not confined to rigid office hours and office space, you end up having more time and opportunity to travel around, for you can work from any part of the world without it being a problem for as long as you complete your tasks.
High-Level Sales
Sometimes all it takes is to be really good at the job you already have!
If you work in a retail or sales capacity and manage to climb the charts, you may be called upon to pitch deals to clients who are everywhere in the world.
All you have to do is let them know that you enjoy traveling and wait for the opportunities to roll in, for you may be surprised to find out how many of your colleagues hate to go on a work trip, but we say why to lose any opportunity 😉
Of course, even if your job doesn’t usually involve travel, you can often still negotiate your way into a traveling position. Like, volunteering to help with remote clients or to meet with partners in other areas.
