What jobs out there allow a person to travel and write about their travel experiences?

I love the travel industry. There’s certain feelings I get when traveling to a new place and I want others to feel the same way I do about visiting some place new or experiencing something totally different than what I am use to. I currently work in the travel business advertising vacation property and after seeing how beautiful the land is where some of the properties reside, I get this strong feeling of envy for the owners who get to enjoy the beauty of a vacation destination and of the land their homes rest on.

How on earth can I find a job, aside from being a travel agent, or tour director, or cruise ship director, where I can travel to places I love and write about them for everyone else to experience?

Im looking along the lines of maybe a travel magazine who will pay people to travel or even a website?

    The travel writing industry is a very hard one to break into.

    If you have good background credentials, especially in writing/journalism, it doesn’t hurt to try. Apply with National Geographic or Lonely Planet. They’re both good companies.

    Hi from France !

    Perhaps you must create your own website ? Go on the forums too…
