Do you dream of jobs that require travel, but have no idea how to begin?
You know who you are.
You sit in your cubicle, or work at your day job, dreaming of seeing the world. You know that there is an entire globe to be seen out there, a world of cultures, languages, customs, and history to be explored. And you want to see it all.
Unfortunately, we have to work. But fortunately, we can choose how we spend our days; and for many of us, we want to find a way to make a decent living while still exploring all the treasures of our beautiful earth. We know there are many jobs that require travel, but sometimes it seems impossible to find the right one.
Learn How to Become an International Event Planner
For over fifteen years, I have worked in various positions in the exciting world of corporate event planning.
One of the best jobs that require travel is an international event planner. Not only do you get to work with Fortune 500 companies, celebrities, and some of the most interesting people you'll ever meet, but you get to stay in the top hotels and resorts all over the world. Not to mention, your job is never the same; and you get to have the pleasure of watching your events unfold right before your eyes. It's one of the most exciting, rewarding jobs you could ever have!
However, it is a competitive market, especially in today's economy. It is a very difficult industry to break into. To get started in this fantastic career, you first need to learn the basics of how to plan events.
That's why I've created my own online event planning course; to teach you the foundation of what it takes to plan events. Once you learn the basics, then you are ready to "get out there" and start learning, volunteering, and networking; and the next thing you know, you'll be one of those "lucky few" who found their dream jobs that require travel.
For the right person, the life of an international "on-site coordinator" for meetings and events could be the perfect answer!
What is an International On-Site Coordinator?
Working as an on-site coordinator is one of the most unique and exciting of all the jobs that require travel. As an on-site coordinator, you get to travel the world, working incredible events, meetings, and incentive trips.
And, unlike other jobs in travel, you get to work for yourself. You only work about two weeks a month, and have more free time than you ever dreamed possible; which, of course, just leaves more time for you to see the world!
Imagine a life of jet-setting off to the world's top destinations, staying at the world's top hotels and resorts, and every cent of it paid for. That's how I got started in the business, and that's how I spent ten wonderful years of my career before becoming a planner.
Not only do you get to see the world, but you also gain priceless experience that can guarantee you a lifelong career in event planning.
During my years as an on-site coordinator (also called an on-site manager, or travel director), I traveled to over 25 countries, staying in some of the top hotels and resorts in the world. I saw places that I would have never seen on my own. And I made a lifetime of memories that I will never forget.
