OK - the so the job security isn't there, and you're always chasing assignments but I met a guy who litterally spent 15 years travelling around the world as a freelance travel photographer, and I mean this guy has been just about everywhere that it's not actively suicidal to go.

Freelance travel writing is another way to go.

Of course this presupposes that one is good with photography or writing.

Once you think outside of the traditional career with the same company and benefits route, there are all kinds of possibilities.

If you're mulitlingual you can make a career at club med, I met a bunch of people working there who had worked at club meds all over the world.
