There are so many countries around the world that are calling out for native English speakers to come over and work as teachers. You can find work quite easily and in a lot of different countries so it’s the perfect thing to do if you want to travel around the world and visit loads of places. You don’t need a degree to teach English as a foreign language but most places do require a TEFL qualification. The good news is that it’s a short qualification that you can usually do online in just a few months. You don’t need to be able to speak a second language yourself because all of the lessons will be conducted in English. A quick Google search will turn up loads of results for job opportunities, some offering money to cover your travel, so get searching and see what you can find.

Pilot

Being a pilot is the most obvious way to travel a lot. You’ll get to visit all sorts of countries at the expense of the airline and you’ll get the bonus of flying your own plane. You’ll need a degree from one of the best aviation colleges before you can start applying for jobs but you’ll get paid well as a pilot so it’s worth the investment. The only downside to being a pilot is that you don’t always get to spend a huge amount of time in the countries that you visit if you’ve got a return flight early the next day. There’s always the chance that you’ll spend most of your time there in the airport or in a hotel, but you’ll still get the opportunity to travel to some amazing countries.

Tour Guide

Popular tourist destinations are always in need of English speaking tour guides because it’s often the easiest language when you’ve got people from all around the world coming on the tour. You’ll have to live in the country for a while beforehand so you know what you’re talking about but you should be able to find work with a tour guide company that will give you the basic information that you need to know. The only thing to consider here is whether you’ll get bored of the city that you’re in. You have to pick carefully and find somewhere that you don’t mind walking around all day, every day.

You don’t have to compromise on your love of travel because of work. You can easily have the best of both worlds and find a job that satisfies your need for adventure.
