If you have been lurching around this Internet thing for a bit, you might have stumbled upon a blog or two that has a “bucket list”. And for those who grew up without electricity, a bucket list is a list of things that people wish to accomplish in their life before they “kick the bucket” (die). While a bucket list is all well and good, I am more interested in finding my muse and enjoying it before I croak. So below is my Job List, comprised of completed jobs and ones that I will do in the future before this grand charade comes to a screeching halt. If you have any ideas of great potential jobs, including but not limited to: sex, drugs, petty crime, grand larceny, banana sales, macadamia nut quality control specialist…etc. please feel free to email me at turner (at) aroundtheworldin80jobs.com.

Our attitude is always “C’mon, we’re not from Norwich – we’re used to New York and London. How crazy can it really be?” This time, they’re telling the truth. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. If you’ve ever been to Turkey, you’ll find the sales techniques at Bangkok markets pleasantly low-pressure. 9. 10. 7 Most Inspirational Travel Books.

Sharebar I love books. Always have. I trace my passion for them to two separate, yet equally formative, experiences in my childhood: 1) My childhood insomnia that drove my mom to near insanity trying to get me to sleep, but also resulted in her pushing me enthusiastically towards using books as a means to cope… 2)The release of Jurassic Park in theaters during 1993. I was 9 yrs old and desperate to see this ridiculous movie directed by the man who brought me Star Wars and Indiana Jones.

Being only 9 and barely allowed by my parents to watch a PG movie… I had a lot of convincing to do before I ever got into the theater. After much pleading and cajoling, my dad finally said that he would take me to see the movie if I read the entire book first. He most likely thought I would either never get through it or it would take me until I was 13 to complete it… at which point I would have been old enough to see it anyways. But ohhhhh was he wrong.

I’m regularly contacted by readers looking for businesses and streams of income that they can travel with. Location independent careers can vary in nature from employment contracts to businesses to freelance gigs. Another kind of business you might be able to “go global” with is a network marketing business. It can provide both an active and passive stream of income, and allow you to develop relationships with people all over the world. My Experience with Network Marketing I was involved in a very cool health-related network marketing business (called Nikken) back in Canada before I started traveling. I just did it on the side (as many people do), and I enjoyed using the all the products (sleep systems, air & water filtration, nutritional supplements, etc) as well as sharing them with others who were interested in both using – and selling – the products.

But because I was so burnt out from the “rat race” before I sold everything to travel, I let the network marketing business go too. Carefree Travel on the Cheap. By Gilbert Carlson Have you ever had the desire to be totally liberated? Wanted to hit the road with only a few things in your backpack, little or no money, and trust completely in the world around you? Travel not caring where you sleep, how you move about, or where your next meal will come from?

This guide to carefree travel is based on an overland trip from Palestine to Paris, focusing mainly on the last part, which took three friends and I through the Balkans, Italy and Germany before reaching France. The trip was motivated mostly by necessity; we had to make it home on an extremely small budget since we had spent the past few months volunteering. When traveling long-term in this manner, it is necessary to first eliminate the negative anticipation otherwise referred to as worrying. Carefree travel is very much a faith-based concept. The trip: How we did it The free-spiritedness really kicked off with our meeting point in Bulgaria. How to liberate yourself while traveling Don’t be shy.

Les raisons pour bloguer. Pourquoi tenir un blogue de voyage ou plus généralement pour quelles raisons bloguer ? Voici une liste qui vous décidera peut-être à franchir le pas !

Photo credit: anneh632 1. Bloguer pour partager avec vos proches C’est notamment le cas pour un blog de voyage. Vous faites un tour du monde ? 2. Savoir développer un blog sur WordPress, c’est toujours une compétence utile. De plus, développer un blog, c’est être polyvalent. 3. Vous allez rentrer en contact avec d’autres blogueurs ou simplement d’autres internautes. 4. Ha là cela vous parle n’est ce pas ? 5. Pour ceux qui ne voyagent pas (y en a-t-il sur Instinct Voyageur ? 6.

Certains blogueurs gagnent assez pour faire cela à plein temps. Si vous n’optez pas pour un tel mode de vie, cette activité peut vous permettre de bosser de n’importe où en France, comme le sud ou un village en Ardèche (par hasard). J’ai hésité à rajouter une autre raison : développez votre patrimoine. Voyez-vous une autre raison que j’aurais oubliée ? Aller plus loin... Rêver ne vous aidera pas à partir voyager. L’autre jour je discutais avec un ami à la terrasse d’un café à Paris.

Il était 19 heures, une fin de journée chaude et agréable comme il s’en fait de plus en plus rare ces derniers jours. Je partageais avec lui mes projets de voyage à venir et lui me parlait de ses rêves d’aventures et de grands horizons. En sommes, nous parlions de la même chose, la seule différence est que j’appelais « projet » ce que lui appelait « rêve ». Je pense que Partir du principe que les projets sont des rêves prend beaucoup plus de temps à les réaliser, car le rêve par définition est quelque chose qui n’est pas censé devenir réel.

Un rêve ne pousse pas à l’action, ne pousse pas à prendre les mesures nécessaires pour partir voyager. Nous avons tous des rêves, et bien entendu les rêves peuvent être le début de tout grand projet, mais peu d’entre nous auront la chance de les voir se réaliser. Les raisons qui nous poussent à renoncer à nos rêves sont le manque de confiance en soi et la peur de l’échec. How To: Wild Camp Anywhere And Not Get Busted :: Tom's Bike Trip. It’s that time again — another ‘how-to’ sharing the essential tools of the adventure cycle-touring trade. This time I’m going to deal with what is often a stressful thought for every rider: “Where the hell I am going to sleep tonight?!?” It’s a right, not a privilege I believe that it is every human being’s nature-given right to sleep without having to pay for the privilege. Some would consider the idea delusional, delinquent, idealistic or impossible.

I mean anywhere In four months of cycling from England to Turkey, across all of Western and Eastern Europe, I spent a total of five nights in paid accommodation. The initial power to do this came from stubbornness of character. If an average hostel in Europe costs ~10 EUR a night, my first four months would have cost an extra 1,200 EUR (on top of my 4.7 EUR-per-day food budget) — about 20% of what I thought was my entire round-the-world trip budget for several years! Talk to people (If there’s nobody around, of course — great! Camouflage. Zen and the Art of Sleeping Anywhere | Off the Road. How to Sleep in the Airport. So you've come to realize this site is not a complete joke and people DO actually sleep in the airport to save money on hotels or just to make sure they don't sleep in and miss their flight. You may now be curious about this odd idea of sleeping in airports and you may be asking yourself one (or all) of the following questions: Can I really sleep in an airport?

It was late 2009 and I was sitting in the Hard Rock Café in Kuala Lumpur (don’t judge me, I fancied a burger.) I had just turned 25 and was trying to work out how many countries I had been to by scribbling them down on a napkin. I wondered out loud if I could explore another 40 before my 30th birthday and that became the catchy (I hoped) title of my soon-to-be-launched travel blog. With a propensity for over-sharing and addiction to storytelling this blog has been recording my adventures and mishaps through different destinations over the last 5 years. Now 29, and with only a few more countries to go, I’m certain I’m going to complete my challenge and I’ve learnt a lot along the way.
