Wannabe Traveller

Let's face it: I love adventure and I won't be happy if my life is calm and boring. I don't want my life to be the typical, generic story: grow up, go to college, work, start a family, retire, and then DIE. If my life were like that, I'd kill myself before I'd even start a family. Today, I researched jobs that would allow me to travel. The jobs I liked best were:

1. Au Pair (nanny) for kids around the world.
2. Working on cruise ships. (Now that...I like).
3. A travel writer (hmm...it's hard to make money doing that).
4. A teacher for an international school.
5. Peace Corps (I like that too).
6. Work for a Non-Governmental Organization (very competitive).
7. A travel nurse.

I really like the idea of being an Au Pair when I graduate. I'll be young with a college degree ad hopefully know a foreign language like French. During college, I could work summers on a cruise ship (unless I have DVR).

But...I found another marvelous option: being a volunteer crew member aboard a sailboat. I have my license so I might as well use it for something! Besides, how cool would it be to say that I sailed to Australia or some ridiculous place like that? If I work out medications, it's definetly do-able.
Sigh...I'm already dreaming about doing that.

I also want to see if I can get a job as a janitor or something in Antartica. I hear it's REALLY hard to get jobs there, but hey-McCurdo Station needs to get clean somehow. It's not like the important scientists are going to be the housekeepers. I'm going to keep exploring options though.

Still...Wouldn't those jobs be awesome?
