Jobs That Let You Travel

By Joseph Tranturder


Growing up in Houston, Texas, visiting anyone was a bit of a road trip. 3 hours of driving to visit my grandparents in San Antonio, 3 and a half hours to visit my aunt and uncle in Dallas, and 2 and a half hours to visit my brother and sister in Austin.

Many of us will never make it or by time we do, we will be too old and rickety to have any real fun. If traveling is your goal, why not make it a part of your work and stop just planning on it. Here are some jobs that can get you out of the country.

Writing You could do almost any writing you want with your laptop in hand and the right ideas. Whether you are a copywriter, a novel writer, or a song writer, you don't have to be confined to an office. In fact, many writers find their inspiration while traveling the world. This can be a very flexible job but it also takes dedication and diligence if you intend on making ends meet.

Food Inevitably, at least one person in the car at all times will be hungry. Do not plan on just using the drive-thrus and gas stations along the way to placate this hunger. Pack food and snacks ahead of time for moments such as these. In order to avoid complaints double check with everyone that the snacks you are packing is something that they will actually be willing to eat.

Another thing to pack is a power strip because there are few outlets in your room. Hook up your electronics to your power strip. You can hook up your ipod speakers and listen to music while on the cruise. On the note of sounds you probably want to bring ear plugs even if you are not right next to the bar as a ship at sea has sounds of its own which may keep you awake, especially if this is your first cruise.

They might be instrumental in developing international research or even building relationships with other universities. Another traveling opportunity that is often presented to professors is a Sabbatical. They are paid through a grant or by the university itself.

Rest Eventually the whole gang will be too tuckered out to continue on any longer. Rather than sleep in a parking lot in your car, make the extra effort to take a relaxing rest stop in an affordable but luxurious hotel. For example, if you are making a long road trip to New York, it is advised to make your pit stop just before you get there at a hotel in Norwalk, CT.

Don't limit yourself by thinking that you are stuck in one place because of your work. Make your work take you where you want to go. It is really all about what you feel is important. If you want to have flexible hours and see the world then pack your bags and start down the path that will get you there. It may take some extra time but it will be well worth it when you look back and see all of your friends tied up in their dead-end jobs.
