Are there any jobs that allow people to travel a lot?

Question

I'm still in high school, but once I start a career I want to travel. Are there any jobs like that?

Answer 1

Working as a guide for tour-companies that offer unusual vacations requiring a lot of help for the tourists, such as travelling through Africa by Jeep, setting up tents and other camp-facilities each night, and also learning enough of local languages to deal with with locals, obtaining food and drinks, fuel, safety, navigation, etc.

A friend of mine did something similar years ago, travelling from europe, through afghanistan and iran to india in the days when it was safe.

Similar things might be horse-riding, pony-trekking, walking holidays, canal boats with a crew in the UK, holland and the rest of europe, etc.

I would imagine a few years at this would really open your eyes to other countries cultures and provide enough stories to last a lifetime.

You could teach English in a language school overseas. For advanced students, the whole lesson is delivered in English. You don't need to be bi-lingual. Check online the school isn't a scam.

You might also find a job that you can do online from any computer in the world, such as creating and maintaining websites or selling an online service on the 'speciality services' section of eBay. You can accept payment by paypal. Then just travel and work at the same time.

Answer 2

One job that doesn't get mentioned much is supplier management. With globalization, materials, parts and subassembly suppliers for manufacturers can be located anywhere in the world. People that perform supplier audits can do a lot of travel. Photojounnalism or nature photography are other options. You should be aware, however, that traveling a lot for a job is not the same as a vacation and you may not have much time to actually sightsee the places you visit.

Answer 3

My hubby is an English Professor and he could be on the road all the time if he wanted, all expenses paid. Interesting places too, in Europe and South America.

He has a former student who travels all over the world buying art for a museum in Japan.

Also his brother has a masters in engineering and he works for Motorola. He's lived in Australia and England, he goes to China and India all the time.

So you could turn just about anything into a travelling job if you're smart and a hard worker.
