Travel and Adventure Jobs

Travel and Adventure Jobs

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure." - Helen Keller

I want to open your eyes a bit to the wonderful opportunities the world has to offer. Other than spending 8-plus hours a day in a tiny cubicle, slaving away at something you hate, there are scores of things that you can do to make money in exciting, adventurous ways.

For most of these jobs you don't need to be young or physically fit. You don't need to have special training, or training that is not easily acquired. You just need to realize that they're there and go and get 'em.

There are jobs that pay you to travel. There are jobs that give you free room and board. There are jobs that take you sailing, horse-back riding, mountain-hiking and to exotic islands. There are even jobs that pay you to dine at fancy restaurants.

The list of exciting travel and adventure jobs that are available to you is almost limitless. You can literally pick and choose what excites you the most. And if in the rare case your dream-job doesn't exist - you can create it.

Did you know that:

There are literally thousands of commercial fishing companies in Alaska that are always looking for new employees. Most of them will pay for your round-trip airfare from Seattle to Alaska, give you free room and board and pay you $2,000 to $10,000 a month (with experience you could earn even more).

English teachers are in high demand around the world. Institutes and private individuals will pay you just for showing people something that you already know. Usually, no special certificates are required (you don't even need to speak the local language), and you can make $200 a day by teaching English as a foreign language. Teach in Tailand, Japan, Brazil - wherever.

You can buy highly-prized items for dirt-cheap in countries around the globe, then sell them for huge profits. (Gold jewelry could cost you $100, you sell it for $1,000, earing you a profit of $900). One of the best ways to sell these items is through online auctions like eBay - and if you do it right you'll be able to run your auction business from anywhere in the world.

There are humanitarian organizations, like the Peace Corps, that pay for your room and board, and give you a monthly income. You'll be able to travel to foreign lands, help people, and get paid for it.

Your travel photographs are worth $$$. There are several places online (check out Shutterstock.com and iStock.com) where you can post your pictures. Every single time one of your pictures gets downloaded, you earn a commssion. Once a picture is posted it stays there for as long as you like, and you continue to earn residual income from it, from anywhere in the world. Imagine how much you could earn each month with 1,000 pictures posted on several different sites.

Countless websites, magazines, newspapers and trade journals want your travel stories. When you write about your travel experiences these publications pay you for it. Also, when you show restaurants, tour agencies and hotels your writing credentials, they will often give you a big discount on their services.

Wildfires spring-up during the hot, summer months. They threaten forests, wildlife and homes. The people that fight these fires get room, board and travel expenses paid for. Plus, they get paid their standard hourly-wage, overtime pay, time and a half pay, and even hazard pay. Wildland firefighters consistently make thousands of dollars every week.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea. There is absolutely no reason at all to stay in a boring, unfulfilling job that you hate when so many fun, exciting and adventurous opportunities are out there.

Life should be an adventure. There are scores of adventurous job opportunities waiting for you to take advantage of them. So why wait? Get started today.
