Hi Alex,
I used to work in the travel industry. I feel like working for a large, international corporation in travel might be a great fit for you. I am thinking along the lines of places like Hilton, British Airways, American Express Travel, etc. You would still need to work out what you want to do for that company. My experience is in training with travel organizations. I did training for call center agents all over the world. But there are other roles that could be fun, like working at front desks at hotels in countries around the world. Travel is the ultimate adventure to me, so being paid to do it would be ideal.

Hello Alex,
What a fantastic passion: Travel!
If you are a travel bug I think there are a few career paths you can look into:
#1 Purely Traveling: Seasonal jobs
You could, for example, work in a Tourism Office or Office Center in a ski resort in Tahoe or Switzerland and change every season (summer/winter) that would combine: sport, adventure and tourism. Many other job opportunities around tourism in tourism destinations within and outside of the United States.
It is exciting but it also can be a rough life to be bounced around every 6 months. You could also do that to start and when you are tired of it just permanently relocate somewhere.
#2 Pilot, Air stewart
They definitely travel all the time and the hours might be hard to sustain, but, they get to go everywhere and they usually get to stay where they fly to for a few days (specifically for international travels).
#3 Corporate world
You do travel quite a bit in some roles within an organization specifically if you are specialized in Import/ Export, Global purchasing, International business development, etc. It might not be adventurous when you travel for work but you can always stay a bit longer and go explore.
I am sure there are many more career paths, the key in my opinion, is to not be afraid to go down one path by fear of being stuck. There is always a way out if you want to explore something else.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

Apart from the answers above, you can also look at non profit or volunteer work. It generally involves travel and a lot of local community interaction. That is definitely another way of combining travel with work.
Thank u so much
