Why do you have to make fun of me?

What do you like besides traveling?

You mentioned teaching, go teach english in foreign countries.

Hotel Reviewer

Meeting new persons,talking to them,having fun with them,eating with them.Since you said teaching where should I teach?Gymnasium,Highschool?I am also good at math but I don't know if I'm prepared to be a math teacher.

Consulting - many types of consulting require constant travel. All the big accounting firms, IT consulting, management consulting, etc.

Sales - many sales jobs require a fair amount of travel

Event management - tradeshow support, events, etc

Locum doctors

Race Directors and staff

Software Deployment staff - Services team and such for big software packages (SAS, SAP, EPIC, etc)

OSHA certification and training

the list is endless.....

Do you like sports? I was a sports writer for 10 years. Lots of travel.

OP look up digital nomad jobs

Professional speaker. I talked with a guy a few years ago who gave 180 speeches per year. Assuming that he spoke twice at each venue, that's 90 locations/year.

my busiest year i did 150 flights. writing software....

Travel for business is not all that glamorous. Mostly it's airport --> hotel --> customer/supplier --> airport. It was only on my fourth visit to Los Angeles that I got to see the Pacific Ocean.

You would be better off doing contract work such as teaching etc. where you can get to spend a month or so at each location and so get some free time to be a tourist.

It also depends on where you want to go. Teaching English is an easy way to get overseas contracts , I know people who have done that. But most of the jobs are in third world countries and remote locations. You would be very lucky to get a teaching job in Venice or Paris.

Nursing is probably better as the hospitals are all in major cities. I have a niece who spent several years in Thailand and Australia nursing, she loved it.

Working as an agent for a travel firm is also good. You obviously get to go to exotic locations but the downside is you are on-call 24 hours. You would be surprised how many people loose their passports etc. Another variant on the tourism front is working as an au pair / housekeeper. The nurse mentioned above worked like this while she was studying. She got a contract with a wealthy family to look after their kids while they were at a ski resort in Switzerland. As she could ski, part of her contract was to teach the urchins how to ski. The downside was she only got two days off in the whole three weeks.

I travel 30-40% of the time, as an engineer. But you are just graduating HS, if you are fairly decent in Math I'm sure you can study Engineering at University, and go that route. You don't have to know much before entering university, but you do have to be willing to work your ass off...

Journalism is a hard road to travel, pay is bad and lots of competition. Engineering on the other hand, most engineeers are boring and hate new and different things, so if you want to travel you will be paid very well...

-Travel blogger requires travelling. Pay isn't great though.

-Analysts and regulators can do a lot of travel, especially when they work for govt agencies. Professors and authors can travel a lot for conferences. You can even start doing this as an undergrad student in pretty much any field. You just have to be interested in doing research and publishing it.

-FBI and CIA have positions that travel a lot.

-The armed forces, especially the navy, do a lot of travel.

-You might get to do some pretty unique travel as an astronaut. Not in high demand though.

-Airline pilots.

-nature/urban photographers

- palentologists

-archaeologists

- tour guides an give multi day tours

-border patrol

- professional athlete

- professional gamer

- actor

- dancer

- sound, lighting, effects specialists

-directors

-Boat captains, cruise ship personnel.

- Park and forest rangers can be assigned to areas encompassing hundreds of miles. There are also sites that are scarcely more than a building and the grounds around it though.

Generally the more of a specialist in something important, yet niche you are, the more travelling you'll do. A lot of these careers take a lot of experience and time in the field to finally get the good positions. Some like academic, or navy sailor could see you travelling as young as 18 or 19. How old you are, what skills you have, and whether you're willing to put up with 4-9 years of tertiary education will tell you which of these are available to you.

Travel isn't impossible regardless of your career though. When you have a day off, drive someplace cool, explore it, etc. If this seems expensive, ie you want to go somewhere overnight, consider getting a tent and camping (and pack food instead of eat out). I wish I'd picked a field I was passionate about and put a solid effort into it in college, or better yet, starting in high school. You sound young enough to pick a direction and go in it. Good luck.

Travel nurse . Lots of 12 week contracts.
