Hello Travellerspoint Community!
Maybe you could check out websites such as Wanderlust, they normally have a job information page in their magazines and website.
There's a difference between a career that is travel related and a career that allows you to travel. Of course, a career in the travel industry can involve some travelling, but like you say, lots of the entry level jobs are in call centres and offices. Anyway, off the top of my head.
- Air Host
- Pilot
- Tour Operator
- Travel Photographer
- Travel Writer
- Professional Travel Blogger (yes, there are a few who make it work)
None of these are easy jobs to get. To be honest, I think teaching English in different countries is as good an option as any and that's what you're already doing. There are numerous places around the world where you can take that skill.
If you're looking for a travel-related career, I think being a flight attendant is perfect. I know someone who has already traveled most of the countries in the WORLD just because she's working in a prestigious airline.
A good starting point for anyone who is interested in working in the UK travel industry - is Holiday Hypermarket. They are a huge company. I started with them years ago - before setting up our own travel company with my colleagues. Just contact them on their website.
The opportunities are endless, once you've got your foot in the door.
Be prepared to start as near to the bottom as you can accept. As soon as you begin showing some ongoing gusto - you'll be pleasantly surprised where it can take you, literally.
