Google Search: "jobs that allow me to travel the world"
6,620,000 results in 0.24 seconds and yet, none of them have a clear answer.
I attempt to do a "more focused" job search online and find myself looking at everything from film production companies to tour companies to studios to NGOs, and even (I am not embarrassed in the least about this) character openings at Disney World. I will consider anything that gives me the opportunity to travel. (Ok, so Disney World might be a bit of a stretch... although Cinderella does shed light on the foreign royalty culture and has to greet millions of foreign tourists....)
In my last post, I discussed my travel obsession. After many years of denial, or perhaps misplacement, I have realized that my one true passion is traveling. My favorite books are travel narratives, I collect country guides, and yes, I frequently (obsessively) peruse the Travel Channel website. I cannot imagine life without planning for the next trip. But what do I do with that? How do I transfer a love for travel into a career (or at least something that puts the pasta on the table)? For now, all I know is that I am gripped by wanderlust and gripped so strongly that its nails are digging into my skin. So I must follow it - wherever it takes me. (I feel sorry for the world - it has no idea what's coming). And as I travel, I want to share my stories and experiences. Not just the new and the beautiful because, well, weird stuff happens to me - from being swept out to sea at the Great Barrier Reef to encountering leeches while petting wombats in Tasmania - and isn't that really the most interesting?
As I discover the world, maybe I'll discover myself and in time, my path.
My first stop: Iceland. Bring on the ash.
