Travelling to the other side of the world while earning money is possible! But you still have to choose the right profession. If you dream of traveling while working, here are 3 jobs that should please you but, beware, they are not without disadvantages..
Stewart/Hostess
It is one of the first occupations that comes to mind in terms of professions that allow for all-expenses-paid travel. And it is true that it is the ideal job to travel almost limitlessly all over the planet
The most
-After each flight, you are entitled to a short stopover that allows you to discover the country or city of arrival. --During your days off, you can also take advantage of free tickets, or almost free, and share them with your loved ones around the world
-You'll meet passengers of all nationalities and backgrounds. You can chat for hours with them in flight and meet really interesting people. This is a far cry from the routine of office workers!
The least
-The stopover that allows you to visit the country after landing is usually of short duration, from 24 to 48 hours. So it's much too short to really enjoy the country, especially as you have to leave quickly with the whole crew on a flight in the opposite direction most of the time
-Free" tickets are actually subject to a quota. You only board if there is room on the flight and can very well spend a whole day waiting at the airport if the flights are full (especially during the holiday period), priority being given to passengers who have paid for their seats. Finally, due to this same problem of availability, you are likely to find yourself on a folding seat, even for a 12-hour flight
-Nervous and physical fatigue... Between the many hours of flying, jetlag and passengers who are not always pleasant, some flights can be totally exhausting. However, you must keep smiling and remain available in all circumstances for the well-being and safety of passengers. It is therefore not uncommon for stewardesses and stewarts to break down nervously, sometimes even in flight
"Instagrammer " specialized in tourism
It's the new fashionable way to travel! All you need is an instagram account, post great pictures of your destinations, have a hundred thousand followers and you're a bankable instagrammer. Tourist offices all over the world are currently looking for this kind of profile that they spot on the web. They then invite them to their country and pay them for the whole trip, visits, tours etc. In exchange, they have to post valuable photos of the country. It's bingo for the tourist office: it's a cheap advertising campaign and the diffusion is both worldwide and instantaneous
The most
-You're treated like a VIP, like you won the lottery. Everybody's in charge and your wishes are my orders. To you the 5 star hotels, the SPAs and the expensive restaurants.
-The work itself is not very tiring... You just have to make nice pictures and with the instagram retouching system and its colour filters, it's child's play.
The least
-Don't expect to go off the beaten path. The people in charge of the tourist office will follow you closely so that you don't end up in the typical, but not very photogenic, neighbourhood, which would cause them a "bad buzz" (the nightmare of all these communication professionals). In short, you have to play the game, otherwise the adventure will end there for you. Kind of like Koh Lanta, yeah.
-Losing your soul and your followers... that's the main danger. Being invited often means giving up all the authentic shots you posted before. The problem is that your followers, most of whom are frequent travelers, might drop you along the way and you might suddenly find yourself like Cinderella without her coach, ending the life of a prince or princess..
Skipper on a pleasure boat
The skipper is the one who takes care of everything, or almost everything, on board a boat. It carries passengers on pleasure craft on behalf of an individual or organization.
The most
-You love the sea and you are in your element since you spend most of your time on the water!
-You go on dream cruises to the most beautiful places on earth and have the chance to see sublime islands and sites, some of which are sometimes only accessible by sea.
The least
-You depend on the wishes of the boat owners, often to the detriment of your private life, especially as it is difficult to keep in touch with your loved ones at sea because the telephone is poorly connected or not at all
-The not-so-glossy tasks: you often have to "clean" and keep the boat permanently clean, prepare meals, set the table, and even take care of the toilets..
-Spending several days at sea with boaters who are not always pleasant or who behave badly on a boat. You need to stay calm no matter what happens and the tensions that can arise between you and the passengers, or even between the passengers themselves, can be very difficult to manage. It'll take psychology and patience despite this war of nerves..
