Not enough PTO or no PTO
Schedule restrictions (work, school, etc.)

Fear, overwhelm, lack of confidence

Some of the suggestions below may be extreme to some people but we sometimes have to get creative to get what we want.

Concerns

Suggestion

Incorporate travel into your work and consider becoming a flight attendant. It’s an entry level position. The company pays for your hotel costs when you land in a place far from home. At the very least you will be able to travel via domestic flights. Consider applying at an airline that has international flights and express interest in that during the interview; it can’t hurt to be honest about wanting to travel and being willing to make a career change to do so.
Cons: You will likely be far from home pretty frequently
- You may get sick of flying or staying in hotels
