WHO says you have to trade in your suitcase for a briefcase and stay chained to a desk?

Plenty of employment opportunities require frequent travel, and one of them might be right for you. Dont wait until youre retired to see the world; look into one of these 18 jobs that allow you to travel while you work.

Flight attendant

It may be the most obvious travel-related job, but its also one of the most accessible: You dont need a specialised degree to become a flight attendant, and most major airlines only require prior customer service experience and certification. The hours are frequently erratic, and the work isnt always easy, but youll get a glimpse of hundreds of cities across the globe during your career. A bonus perk? Free or discounted flights for you and your family.

Au pair

Do you work well with children and know a second language? If so, becoming an au pair might be a good option for you. Au pairs live with a host family in a foreign country and provide childcare services such as babysitting and assistance with schoolwork. Youll receive a small salary on top of your room and board, but you also get to fully immerse yourself in another culture as an extended member of a family.

Peace Corps volunteer

As the title volunteer might indicate, you wont exactly be making six figures working with the Peace Corps. But if you dont mind living on a budget, you can become part of a worthwhile organisation that lets you travel the world and make a difference at the same time. Assignments typically last two years and involve working to advance education, health care, and economic and agricultural development in a community abroad. The Peace Corps also provides housing, health benefits and student loan deferment not to mention an excellent resum talking point.
