If you’re a people person, work well in a team and want to travel the world while you work, then cabin crew would be great for you! As a member of cabin crew, you could earn up to £15.50 an hour.
Tourist guide
There's no better way to discover a new place when travelling than by completely immersing yourself in the culture and spending a good chunk of time there. Whether that's going way back and discovering the history of a place, finding the best food and drink trails around, getting to now the monuments, or taking everything in by foot, you're sure to become a bit of an expert!
If you find that a particular place captures your heart and imagination, and you'd like to stay and work, a career as tour guide could be a brilliant option. It would give you more time to discover your new favourite place and share your knowledge with others. A tour guide could earn £30,000 a year but this is completely dependent on the amount of hours you work!
