4 Careers for People who Love to Travel

Is travel a passion of yours? Perhaps then you should consider some careers that let you engage in this pursuit. Below are four careers that involve travel for you to peruse at your leisure.

Travel Writer

Although a travel writer’s life will not be a glamorous one when he or she is just starting out in this type of career; with perseverance, one can definitely make a living as a travel writer. That said, if you are just starting out in this type of career, it is a good idea to begin your career by submitting your travel writing pieces to smaller publications at first. Of course, it is also an excellent idea to maintain your very own travel writing blog so that can show your amazing writing talents to the world.

ESL Teacher

In this position, you can teach English-as-a-second language in various countries throughout the world. However, the specific responsibilities of an ESL teacher may vary from job to job. In general, ESL teachers offer English instruction in universities, colleges, private schools, non-profits, private tutoring and/or through other methods. As expected, ESL teachers prepare lessons and cover topics such as English grammar, speaking, reading, writing, and culture.

Travel Nurse

As a travel nurse, you have the opportunity to work at various medical establishments throughout the United States. As these positions last from about three months to a year in length, you do have the option of seeing the country – while all the while working at the same time. Besides travel, some of the perks of being a travel nurse can include paid accommodations, an interesting position, a competitive salary, and medical and dental benefits.

Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Worker

As working with an NGO involves working in another part of the world, a position with these types of organizations is an excellent way to see the world. Additionally, the work that you complete will benefit society as a whole – does it really get any better than this? That said, working with an NGO is not for the faint of heart as these positions can involve living in a rustic manner that you may not be accustomed to.

Overall then, if you love to travel, there are many career options that are available to you.
