391 Enviable Travel Jobs
<p>It's easy to be a little envious of anyone who gets to travel to interesting places as part of their work, but when the work itself is also truly fascinating, then I think it's fair that we can all be rather jealous! Nonetheless I loved chatting with these four guests about the experiences their careers have afforded them around the globe.</p> <p>First up, Tudor Morgan explains how his lifelong love of the polar regions has translated into a range of rewarding work opportunities. Next, Kerstin Pilz tells of a very special job that she did during her academic career, on The Scholar Ship. Cade Martin then explains how his initial work in photography came about via a National Geographic project, and finally, Neil Laird describes the making of his graduate school film in Egypt, which led to a lifetime of travelling the world making documentaries.</p> <p><strong>Links:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Tudor Morgan of HX Expeditions - <a href="https://www.travelhx.com/en-au/">https://www.travelhx.com/en-au/</a> </li> <li>Kerstin Pilz - <a href="https://kerstinpilz.com/">https://kerstinpilz.com/</a></li> <li>Kerstin Pilz’s book “Loving my lying, dying, cheating husband” - <a href="https://amzn.to/422vCdn">https://amzn.to/422vCdn</a></li> <li>Cade Martin - <a href="https://www.cademartin.com/">https://www.cademartin.com/</a></li> <li>Wheelchair Mafia short film on rescue dogs in Thailand - <a href="https://www.cademartin.com/exploration-wheelchair-mafia">https://www.cademartin.com/exploration-wheelchair-mafia</a> </li> <li>Neil Laird - <a href="https://neillaird.com/">https://neillaird.com</a></li> <li>Neil’s Prime Time Travelers novels - <a href="https://amzn.to/48jqoNB">https://amzn.to/48jqoNB</a> </li> <li>Join our Facebook group for Thoughtful Travellers - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers">https://www.facebook.com/groups/thoughtfultravellers</a></li> <li>Join our LinkedIn group for Thoughtful Travellers - <a href="https://notaballerina.com/linkedin">https://notaballerina.com/linkedin</a></li> <li>Sign up for the Thoughtful Travellers newsletter at Substack - <a href="https://thoughtfultravel.substack.com">https://thoughtfultravel.substack.com</a> </li> <li>Show notes: <a href="http://notaballerina.com/391">https://notaballerina.com/391</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><br>*Full disclosure: Amazon Services LLC Associates Program</p> <p>NotABallerina.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program.
