PLAN YOUR CAREER, CHOOSE YOUR JOB! TRAVEL!

Do you dream of hopping on a plane to see the world? Do you hope to see the north, south, east and west? Do you wonder what it’s like in another season in another part of the world? Would you like to experience winter, autumn, spring or summer in different places? Are you dreaming of visiting famous beaches, forests, lakes, mountains and national parks? You don’t have to spend your money and days on travelling. With the right skill sets, you can put yourself on a career path that gives you many chances to visit different locations as part of your job requirements. Here are some suggestions for you to work and travel at the same time:

1. Archaeologists travel the world to recover and protect artifacts from past human cultures. Careers in archaeology allow you to go on trips for digs and research projects in remote regions of the Earth.

2. Do you get on well with children and know a second language? If so, becoming an au pair might be a good option for you. Au pairs live with a host family in a foreign country and provide child care services, such as babysitting and assistance with schoolwork. You’ll receive a small salary on top of your room and board, but you also get to fully immerse yourself in another culture as an extended member of a family.

3. Working on a cruise ship is a travel lover’s dream especially if you are in love with the sea. By being a cruise line worker, you make a living travelling the world; you also receive free food and accommodation. You can easily be a restaurant waiter, a shop clerk or a performer in the cruise’s staff. However, you should be careful about seasickness.

4. Event coordinators might work on local events like parties and weddings, but orchestrating larger events like festivals and trade shows could be a golden opportunity for travel lovers. If you like throwing parties, dealing with the meals, flowers and table clothes, being an event coordinator is just your type of job.

5. It may be the best travel-related job, but it’s also one of the most accessible. You don’t need a specialized degree to become a flight attendant. The flying attendant hours are sometimes difficult, and the work isn’t always easy, but you’ll see hundreds of cities across the world during your career.
