Testimonial

I can honestly say that having spent 30 years in Travel Technology, the last 6 years as part of CTM have been the most diverse and rewarding. In 2016 I was offered the new role of CTO for EMEA. Since the first day, I have enjoyed the full support of the regional and global management teams and together we have developed and deployed a wide range of exciting and leading-edge applications. Through the support of the group, we have managed to build up the finest technology team I have ever worked with, creating a culture of cooperation and collaboration.

- Chief Technology Officer -

I started with Chambers Travel in 2011 as a Fares & Ticketing agent. I then took a gap year to travel and live abroad for a few years. After my return, I was pleased to be welcomed back in 2014 when Chambers became CTM. I've had a great journey to see a small corporate travel firm become a global provider. I have had several roles during my time here and this has given me the opportunity to gain a lot of knowledge about the industry and how each department works. I currently manage a fantastic team within the Finance department for UK/Europe. I have enjoyed and appreciated CTM’s priorities, insights and culture. CTM are an innovative and dynamic team where everyone learns a lot from each other.

- Finance Administration Manager -

I have been in Business Travel for 26 years, working for only 2 companies. I joined Chambers Travel 15 years ago as a Supervisor. At first, I was apprehensive to join, but I got welcomed into a great environment and worked hard to play my part in progressing with the company. Over time I was a Team Manager, Assistant Operations Manager, Operations Manager and Head of Operations for London, where I was when we joined CTM. During the pandemic we lost a lot of colleagues, I was lucky to remain at CTM assisting with expatriation and quarantine projects to then receive a promotion as Operations Director. I love my job, with great people that make it a wonderful and fun place to work. When moving from Chambers to CTM the fear was always losing that independent personal touch, but we didn’t. It's fast-paced and hard work but, 15 years on I continue to work to the best of my ability and love what each day brings.

- Operations Director -

From taking a step away from travel due to the pandemic, I was eager to get back into the industry. My decision to pick CTM to further my journey as a Senior Business Travel Consultant has been one of my best yet! My colleagues and management have provided the best support to help me get back into it and utilise great technology to be as productive as possible. I have built strong relationships with clients and a goal of mine is to also strive to progress internally and further develop my career here at CTM.

- Senior Business Travel Consultant -

I joined CTM through an acquisition in 2020, initially working in the European marketing team. Since then I’ve moved into Global Product Marketing, working across regions with Sales, Marketing and Product teams in Australia, the US, UK and Asia to help us launch new products, build integrated campaigns and drive new business opportunities that cross borders. I’m incredibly lucky that my role gives me the chance to work with incredibly smart and driven people from all over the world. It’s a privilege to market industry-leading technology that makes business travel better for our customers. Every day is different with so many unique tech products like our Lightning online booking platform, mobile app, fare forecasting and data analytics tools that all require different marketing skills and tactics. CTM has a bright future in travel and I’m proud to be part of it.

- Global Head of Product Marketing -

I have been with CTM for just over 11 years. I started as a junior doing all the basic admin/bill-back queries. Due to all the support and training, I received over the years I managed to progress through different departments from Admin to Operations to Fares/ticketing. I am now the Fares and Ticketing specialist. My daily tasks include fare checking all long haul bookings to ensure the best fare is obtained, issuing tickets for all European offices as well as benchmarking quotes for prospective clients. I love working with my team because every day there is something new and exciting. I also get to pass on my knowledge I’ve learned over the years to the agents and help them progress in their careers. CTM are a great company to work for as you can progress from departments, and they have great employee benefits.

25 Great Jobs for People Who Love to Travel

Best jobs for travel lovers.

W orking eight hours every day behind a computer screen isn't for everyone. Some people love to travel and want to use that passion to make a living.

If you're constantly planning your next vacation, consider finding a career that fits your lifestyle. Instead of spending all your PTO and hard-earned money traveling once or twice a year, you could get paid while seeing the world. Here are 25 potential career paths to consider.

Disclaimer: The following items provide ideas and inspiration for potential career paths . These are not open job listings, and Business News Daily is not hiring or recruiting for these positions. We advise conducting your own research before pursuing any of these occupations.

1. Athletic recruiter

Source: 8213erika / Getty Images

Colleges and professional sports organizations employ athletic recruiters to travel to schools and sporting events across the country to scout new talent. Of course, you'll need to know the game inside and out, and the specific skills an athlete would require for certain team positions. If you're an avid sports fan, though, this part of the job could be easy for you.

Do you work well with children and know a second language ? If so, becoming an au pair might be a good option for you. Au pairs live with a host family in a foreign country and provide child care services, such as babysitting and schoolwork assistance. 

You'll receive a small salary on top of your room and board, but you also get to immerse yourself in another culture as an extended member of the family. To learn more about becoming an au pair, visit InterExchange .

3. Construction manager

Source: Valeriy_G / Getty Images

Construction managers not only make good money, but they also get to travel. Sometimes, they relocate to different areas and stay for several months to oversee a project. 

Even if you don't have the qualifications to be a project manager, construction companies are worth checking out – many hire support staff to relocate too.

4. Consultant

Companies hire consultants from a variety of fields to fix problems. Because their knowledge is so specialized, a consultant's client base is often spread over the country – or even around the world. 

Additionally, maintaining a positive relationship with clients requires regular on-site visits, making it a perfect job for people who love travel.

5. Cruise line worker

Source: Steve Mason / Getty Images

Working on a cruise ship is a travel lover's dream gig. You make a living seeing the world while receiving free food and accommodations. 

Whether you're a restaurant server, a shop clerk or a performer in the cruise's entertainment lineup, there are opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to work on one of these floating resorts. Websites like Job-Applications.com list employment openings with some top-rated companies when searching "cruise ship jobs."

6. Engineer

For many industries, jobs are going remote and engineering is following suit. Consequently, you can work from virtually anywhere with a computer science or engineering degree.

Travel the world developing software or flexing your technical graphic design skills . There are currently over 12,000 remote engineering jobs available through LinkedIn alone.

7. ESL teacher

English as a second language (ESL) teachers are in high demand both at home and abroad. When you take a job as an ESL teacher in a foreign country, you'll get to help students understand your native language while immersing yourself in that country's culture. 

You'll need at least a bachelor's degree, ESL training and a special license to get hired. ESLteacherEDU.org offers a step-by-step guide to becoming an ESL teacher.

8. Event coordinator

Source: Tero Vesalainen / Getty Images

Event coordinators might work on local events such as parties and weddings, but orchestrating large-scale events like festivals and trade shows could be the golden ticket for travel lovers. 

In this position you would meet with potential vendors from across the country, then travel to the event location to oversee everything from setup to breakdown. A search for "trade show coordinator" on LinkedIn returns more than 20,000 jobs in various cities.

9. Flight attendant

It may be the most obvious travel-related job, but it's also one of the most accessible. You don't need a specialized degree to become a flight attendant, and most major airlines only require prior customer service experience and certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). 

The hours are frequently erratic and the work isn't always easy, but you'll get a glimpse of hundreds of cities across the globe during this career. A bonus perk? Free or discounted flights for you and your family.

10. Foreign Service worker

If you want to combine your love of travel with your love of your country, a career as a Foreign Service officer or specialist could be the right gig for you. The best-known Foreign Service job is a U.S. diplomat, but there are plenty of other career tracks that allow you to meet and interact with foreign governments. 

The U.S. Department of State has details about these jobs listed on its website . With more than 250 embassies around the world, there are plenty of travel opportunities.

11. International aid worker

If you want to travel for a living while making a real difference in people's lives, consider working for an international aid organization like USAID . 

While working for USAID, you can visit struggling countries and help residents recover from dire situations, such as natural disasters and famine. You'll need a background in a related field – such as health, agriculture or education – and a strong interest in social work.

12. International tour guide

Source: william87 / Getty Images

Imagine spending your days guiding fellow travel lovers through a bustling European metropolis, or perhaps a small village is more your style. Wherever you want to go, popular travel destinations always need friendly, knowledgeable guides to lead tourists through city sights and cultural excursions. 

This International Living article offers tips and inside knowledge for aspiring international tour guides.

13. Massage therapist

If you want to visit popular tourist destinations, you should consider gaining skills in massage therapy. You can work for hotel chains, spas, cruise lines or become self-employed.

Licensed massage therapists are always welcomed to soothe and de-stress travelers and locals alike. Although you may start at rookie rates, you can consistently raise them as your clientele and skills grow. Plus, massage therapists generally have a flexible schedule to work full or part time.

The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) can help you find training programs, business tools and even discounts on supplies.

14. Peace Corps volunteer

As the title "volunteer" might indicate, you won't exactly be making six figures working with the Peace Corps. But if you don't mind living on a budget, you can become part of a worthwhile organization that lets you travel the world and make a difference in others' lives at the same time. 

Assignments typically last two years and involve advancing education, healthcare, and economic and agricultural development in a community abroad. The Peace Corps also provides housing and health benefits, not to mention an excellent resume talking point .

15. Photographer

Source: Rawpixel / Getty Images

If you're skilled with a camera, consider becoming a travel photographer. While news organizations such as the Associated Press need staff photographers, you can also make a living by freelancing . 

Travel photographers are needed at a variety of locations, including tourist attractions, local events and high-end resorts. Begin your journey by following the steps at Worldpackers or taking a Skillshare course .

16. Retail buyer

For the fashionista with wanderlust, a career in retail purchasing might be the ultimate dream job. In addition to monitoring in-store inventory, retail buyers attend vendor meetings, trade shows and conferences across the country – or even the globe, depending on where the company sources its products. The employee in this position identifies industry and consumer trends, and decides what products the company should sell.

Of course, it's not just clothing stores that hire purchasing agents; most large retail companies employ buyers to help them select and negotiate merchandise deals across various categories.

17. Scuba diving instructor

There is a whole other world beneath the ocean's surface, and you can live it by traveling and teaching the essentials of diving. 

Scuba instructors have the opportunity to see parts of the globe that are often hidden. A great way to get started is with the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) , which offers training courses and diving guides.

18. Ski instructor 

Source: fisher_photostudio / Getty Images

If you love snow sports and traveling, consider combining your passions to become a ski instructor. There are openings at ski resorts worldwide, including in the United States, France, Switzerland and Canada. 

You can look for other seasonal work when the ski season ends; many places stay open throughout the warmer weather for outdoor activities and still need staff. Begin your search for ski instructor jobs at the Season Workers website.

19. Stagehand/roadie

Theater productions and musicians go on tour all the time – and they take busloads of roadies and stagehands with them. While theaters and venues may have their own stagehands, some still travel with each act. 

You can begin your search for stagehand jobs on the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) website by finding your local union.

20. Translator

Are you fluent in multiple languages? If so, you could become a translator and travel the world, helping people communicate. Translators must speak at least two languages. 

According to Day Translations , other useful expertise includes computer and business skills. While becoming a translator requires education, the job can offer the chance to visit many countries. 

The countries with the most language service providers (LSPs) include the United States, Great Britain, France, China, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Sweden and the Czech Republic.

FYI: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for translators is expected to increase by 24% between 2020 and 2030.

21. Travel agent

Some people may think that the professional travel agent is a dead career in the age of Google searches and travel price comparison websites. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts a slow growth rate in this occupation over the next decade, it's still a rewarding job for anyone who loves to travel.

Plus, travel agents can increase their income by starting a YouTube channel, writing a blog, and building relationships with travel products and related brands.

It might not be the easiest way to make a living, but if you've got a knack for writing you can share your knowledge about popular travel destinations.
