Traveling the world is one of the most fun and fulfilling activities of all. Seeing new places, learning about new cultures, sampling exotic cuisine and becoming knowledgeable on local traditions are just a few of the many perks that come with a traveler's passport. And as much fun as it is to travel on leisure time, how great would it be to make a career out of seeing the world? Luckily there is a great market for traveling workers, you just have to know where to look.

Of course, you could start by observing the traveling staff that accompanies you on your next journey. Flight attendants obviously get the chance to fly all around the world, and get paid to do it. However, they often spend so
much time on the planes that they have little time to see the places they fly to. Some may not even leave the airport, which may not be terribly appealing. We all know how uninspired airport food can be. Cruise ship staff members are also afforded constant travel opportunities, and often have the chance to meet interesting people and to see and taste more of their destinations. Cruise ships often bring high profile chefs on board for guest banquets, ensuring that there will be delightful edibles abounding.

Working in kitchens can also be a viable and enjoyable option for the traveler. Restaurants are always looking for extra hands, and the only requirements are kitchen experience and the ability to follow directions. For a competent cook, landing a kitchen job in a foreign country is much easier than any other profession. If you land in the right spot, you could even get the chance to work under inspiring chefs and learn exciting new culinary skills. Some chefs even establish roving kitchens that travel the world and host banquets at new locales every few days. Of course, this line of work can be very high stress, and may not be suitable for most.
