But hey, we all have bills to pay. The routine, mundane life and daily responsibilities are the biggest hurdles in our travel plans. We have to save money, dedicate a very limited time to travel and then get back. But what if you have a job that fixates around travelling. A good steady job which pays you well and gives you a chance of seeing the world. When travelling becomes a part of your job, the real charm of life begins.
