I absolutely love my job.
But sometimes, after another long week of desk-bound deadlines, I find myself fantasising about a job that involves a little more…adventure.
One that involves meeting new people and traveling to exotic and exciting parts of the world, week in, week out.
So here’s a list of the six best jobs involving travel. And if this whole journalism thing doesn’t work out, one of these might just become my Plan B.
1. Flight attendant.
OK, this is an obvious one, but there’s just something glamorous about a career as a flight attendant, isn’t there? Spending every night in a different city, and wearing those matching outfits…
I actually spent years as a teenager seriously considering it, and I still think it would be pretty awesome.

You don’t need a fancy degree, and you just have to be a people person without a fear of flying (Oh, and be tall enough to reach those overhead lockers).
Just as an FYI, this post is sponsored by Tech Trades Navy. But all opinions expressed by the author are 100 per cent authentic and written in their own words.
Sure, you’ll have to deal with screaming babies and annoying passengers, but you’ll also get to see the world, and enjoy the major perk of heavily discounted flights for you and your family. Winning.
2. Professional shopper.
This job entails you travelling the country and the world, and being paid to spend someone else’s money. No, I’m not pulling your leg. It is an actual, dream job.

This is a large part of why my friend wanted to be a writer, if she's freelance she can work from anywhere!
You don't need to know a second language to au pair in a non-English-speaking country; many families want someone to speak English with the kids. It's also often a pretty terrible gig, with very low pay and an imbalanced power relationship with the host family. Some people do get lucky and have a great time.
It's a shame that you have that view of the Au Pair experience. We've had 3 Au Pairs and gained 3 new family members in the process. It can be really rewarding for everyone if it's the right match 😄
