Okay, you simply can’t just apply for this, but the entire role is built around travelling and is of course a fantastic way to see the world.

So, whether it’s for work or play, the world will very much be your oyster. With a number of companies always looking for eager recruits, like the Royal Air Force, you can even combine travel with international peacekeeping efforts across the globe. Being a pilot really does have it all.

Photographers are, by nature, inquisitive and insightful – seeing the world in a far clearer and more precise way than the rest of us. Not only is being a professional photographer, a wonderfully varied and diverse job, but you will also have the option to travel around the country, as well as the world - searching for the right lighting or scene to get that perfect shot. With companies such as Farfetch with links to Portugal, Hong Kong and LA, it’s time to open your camera lens and fly!

What it says on the tin – as a Global Account Manager you will be responsible for looking after accounts internationally. Not only will a position such as this offer some strong career progression and truly push you outside of your comfort zone (with responsibilities including maintaining a sales pipeline, analysing data, creating accurate forecasts and fostering sustainable consumer relationships) but it will also allow you to do a huge amount of travelling. And with companies such as Forrester and Amazon now hiring, you could well be on a plane in only a few months.

International Marketing Manager

Needing a rich and nuanced understanding of cultures across the world – a position as an International Marketing Manager guarantees a vast amount of travel. With a number of companies, in this political climate, now focusing their energies on emerging markets in the Middle East and Asia (particularly India and its huge population), individuals with experience in those cultures may find themselves a hot commodity on the employment scene. From huge retail companies such as Arcadia, to various recruitment firms looking to take on marketing staff, now may be the time to look beyond the UK scene and see what lies further afield.
