Fantastic Question Madely
5 EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH TRAVEL
TEACHING ENGLISH ABROAD
With English taking hold as the international language of commerce and culture, hundreds of millions of students across the globe are participating in English language classes each year. From Seoul and Shanghai to Milan and Santiago, there is an unprecedented demand for English instructors. While many people worldwide confront the most challenging job market in generations, teaching English as a foreign language provides both viable and accessible job opportunities as well as a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the world while gaining invaluable work experience.
PHOTOGRAPHER
Photographers see some of the most beautiful and harrowing parts of the world while at work. Options for travel are endless and many photographers direct their own projects as well as working on commission. A photography degree will take three years to complete but formal qualifications are less important than a good eye and demonstrable talent.
FLIGHT CREW
If you're hoping for long layovers in exotic locations apply to a major airline serving long haul destinations. Several days on a Thai beach or exploring Hong Kong is a bonus but cabin crew also get generous travel benefits so you, and often family members, can fly at greatly reduced rates on your days off. Customer service experience and fluent in a second language are very beneficial.
AU PAIR
A classic way to travel, learn a language and experience a new culture, working as an au pair won't earn you big bucks but will provide you with a roof over your head, food and plenty of time to explore. Au pairs are needed all over the world and work is often part time. Some experience in childcare is beneficial but a personality match and positive attitude will be far more of a deal maker when searching for a family.
FOREIGN SERVICE OFFICER
Foreign service officers represent the government and the people of the United States by conducting relations with foreign countries and international organizations. They promote and protect the United States' political, economic, and commercial interests overseas. They observe and analyze conditions and developments in foreign countries and report to the State Department and other agencies. Foreign Service officers guard the welfare of Americans abroad and help foreign nationals traveling to the United States.
Hope this was helpful Madely

Carlos’s Answer
Hi Madelyn - Totally agree with consulting. Two other options that come to mind would be sales and jobs in the hospitality industry. Sales gives you the opportunity to travel (sometimes very frequently) and get the opportunity to meet your clients, where they work, etc. On the hospitality industry side, it's not uncommon for folks to move around, both domestically and internationally, as they develop new skills and acquire more responsibility. I hope this helps!

Hi Madelyn,
There are numerous opportunities to travel for work while also educating others. You might want to refine your interests, and think about what your ideal working environment would be. Do you prefer being in a classroom setting or a business conference room? Do you speak a foreign language and want to communicate using it, or would you rather communicate in English? Such questions are good to ponder.
Some responses have mentioned consulting, which can be a fantastic opportunity to travel and experience other cultures while also using skills that can be marketed in many industries (such as accounting, engineering, marketing, business analysis, software development...and the list goes on). I'd like to mention that if technology is interesting to you, there are also opportunities to work abroad - not only in business, education, and civil service. Some of my past experiences include working in London to help my company launch an inventory management software system, partnering with French co-workers in Paris to design a new product (where I used my French language skills to communicate fully in French), and Toronto, Canada to release a newly engineered product for cars. All of the engagements were fun, fulfilling, and resulted in new friendships.
One thing to consider is often when you are working abroad, you are there to work....the time for touring is limited to evenings (when most tourist attractions are closed) or on weekends. However, the cultural baggage you'll add to both your resume and life experiences is priceless!
Best wishes for exploring this amazing world!

Hi Madelyn,
I believe that you may want to view the answer to your question through the lens of the current pandemic. You say you love to help people, so let's make that a ground rule. Are you fluent in a second or third language? Ok, let's see what a search finds:
1. Healthcare: nursing is dependent on "traveling" jobs. It would be possible to live in all 50 states as a registered nurse. Link here:
https://www.americantraveler.com/travel-nursing-jobs It may also be possible to travel internationally: https://worldwidetravelstaffing.com/
(Note; having 2nd language skills in healthcare is an exceptional bonus).
2. Education: Native English speakers are needed internationally: https://jobs.goabroad.com/search/education/jobs-abroad-1
3. General suggestions: https://www.goabroad.com/articles/jobs-abroad/entry-level-jobs-that-require-international-travel
4. How about becoming a physician?: https://gmedical.com/
So, you may want to pursue an entry level job rather than going on for an advanced degree or license. There are also volunteer opportunities:
http://volunteerinternational.org/
https://www.goabroad.com/
I hope you find these links helpful!!!
Good luck and stay well. The planning horizon in light of Covid19 is about 24-36 months, so it is good that you can start looking now.
Best,
Sue

Hi Madelyn,
I agree about consulting, sales, and auditing. Especially if you speak another language, it'll be helpful for you to find consulting jobs in other countries.
Additionally, business development (similar to sales, but sometimes has different incentives or job titles) can help you with travel.
Another option is to look into international development or the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps will station you in a country for 2 years, while you work on a project to help the local community. International Development is usually donor-funded, e.g. USAID, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, DFID, World Bank, etc.

Tammy’s Answer
Careers in commercial real estate, particularly commercial real estate finance provide opportunity to travel early on in your career. Travel includes visiting properties and performing site inspections, attending market conferences, and meeting with clients. As you rise up through the ranks you have a lot of control when and how much you travel (to a certain extent). It is a great way to see different cities or areas of the country. The multifamily finance industry is also looking for smart, self-motivated individuals. My career involves a good balance of working independently and working with various teams. I hope this is helpful.

1. Teach English in Thailand with Greenheart Travel
Thailand is an extremely popular destination for both recent college grads and those who have been out of school for a while. It’s okay if you don’t have teaching experience. Everyone spends the first month in Hua Hin completing their required TESOL certification, learning about Thai culture, and meeting other travelers before beginning their semester-long teaching placement in a Thai school. This job includes one month’s accommodation during orientation, four months of medical insurance, and a salary starting at $900 per month. Hey, Thailand is called, “The Land of Smiles” for a reason!
If you don’t know if you can commit for a whole semester, there are short-term summer options as well. Certified teachers can go for six weeks during their summer break! The flexibility of this opportunity makes it one of our favorite entry level jobs that require travel.
Where: Various locations in Thailand, such as Bangkok, Trang, or Sukhotai
Who: Fluent English speakers who are citizens of the US, Canada, UK, EU, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa between the ages of 20-50 who possess a bachelor’s degree or equivalent

2. Join the Peace Corps
You’ve probably heard of the Peace Corps before, as it’s a huge United States Government funded program. The goal is to provide social and economic education and aid to serve communities in over 50 countries. If this seems broad, it’s because the Peace Corps offers a variety of opportunities. Participants work in one of the following areas: Agriculture, Environment, Community Economic Development, Health, Education, and Youth in Development.
Volunteers are given free housing and a living stipend that allows them to get by in their placement community. This is a two year commitment, including three months of training. Those who complete the program are given a $8,000 bonus. Since the Peace Corps covers such a wide range of jobs and countries, it’s important to really do your research before applying to narrow down which sector is right for you.
Where: Africa, Asia, The Caribbean, Central America, South America, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Pacific Islands
Who: US Citizens who are willing to commit to two years of service

Hi Madelyn,
Consulting/Auditing jobs allow people to travel a lot. Once the person is willing to settle down, a conversation is normally made to management to address your needs. Normally, in this case, the company will help it's employees by finding clients in their range!

Hi Madelyn,
I work with my community (in different languages too!) and it is super rewarding. In terms of educational careers, I would recommend a Liberal Arts Program - I did this as a student in college and it helped me navigate different career paths. I have been able to travel and work, so it is totally possible.
The goal of the BCC Liberal Arts Program is to develop students’ foundational knowledge and skills through a wide variety of academic disciplines in preparation for informed engagement in their communities, the ever-changing economic landscape, and successful transfer to a four-year institution.
Below is the link to the program I mentioned. -Karen R.L.

Hi Madelyn -
You have plenty of options when it comes to jobs that require travel but it will depend on your interests. I started my career as a technical representative where I trained retail stores on specific types of products which lead to owning my own sales territory. This is a similar path to consulting but it allowed me to gain experience within the sporting goods industry for a long term payout. Another great option is a medical sales representative, they are under capacity, have great pay and allow for long term growth.

If you like to teach, corporate training would be a good move. At the beginning of my career, I traveled to customer sites and taught them to use the company's software. I didn't have to work too hard to learn the software. I traveled all over the US and Canada and also went to Sweden.
