One of my ultimate wishes would be to get to work on something like those travel shows they put on TV; getting to travel to a new country every week, discovering new places, seeing new people, knowing new cultures, tasting new types of food, learning of different customs and traditions… and then reviewing them for the whole world.
That’s something I would totally love to do, something that would make me really really happy.
I’ve always loved travel and found it very enriching. I think I am a more understanding person because of all the travel I’ve done and the different people I’ve met.
Being able to do it all the time as a job would just be a magical dream come true.
For the time being though, all I can do is wish.
Unless someone out there is willing to finance me to travel around the world and blog about it. Anyone?
You would be a wonderful travel writer/host. Look into a show called globetrekker– they employ a variety of international hosts and the kind of travel they do is very non-mainstream quasi intellectual/down and dirty adventuring — with all of your language skills you would be perfect!
check out pbs.org and look in the alphabetical program listings and consider writing to one of the producers of the show.
You have a wonderful portfolio of your writing, communication skills and can obviously generate interest in your presentations as proveable by your blog.
Maybe direct some of your creative energies into making your travel dream a reality. There is even a travel channel in the US and there are many opportunities for segments. Let me know if you need more ideas on how to get started in the production end of things!
Thanks jmarie, that’s so nice of you to say 🙂
And thanks for the tips, I’ll check the link you gave me out and try to explore the possibilites you told me about 🙂
Who knows? Maybe this dream could come true 🙂
