Travel nurses work in a specific location for a specific period of time based on a company’s requirement. Typically, travel nurses will work in that designated area for about 13 weeks and then move to another needed area. Becoming a travel nurse is a great way for someone to be able to travel the country/world with their friends/family! That’s right; it’s perfectly fine to take companions with you wherever you’re needed by your company.
However, the requirements of a travel nurse may be a bit narrow for all women who love to travel. The minimum experience for travel nursing can range from 18 months to 6 years based on the candidate’s area of speciality. You must also have a degree as a registered nurse. Nonetheless, if you’re interested in helping people around the country/world, travel nursing is an ideal career to pursue!
The scope for travel journalism is quite wide, as one can do it professionally or wherever Wi-Fi is found! Starting your own travel blog or website is one of the ways to make it as a travel writer, from the ease of your laptop. However, you must offer something new to the audience you have gained after starting your portfolio online. It’s important that you also build a network online and offline and to start travelling, small-scale first. Once you’ve gotten a solid platform, your journey will begin.
Another way to make it as a travel writer is through travel books and guides. The best way to make money after writing a novel or article is by approaching a publication you are familiar with. Knowing what style of article that is accepted will give you an edge with the competition. It’s important to keep practicing and be patient, especially if you submit pieces to magazines/newspapers.
Flight attendants dedicate their entire lives to travelling, and are usually in the air all the time. The main objective of a flight attendant is to put the passenger first, so if you have absolutely no interest in being hospitable, this job may not be right for you. The requirements for a flight attendant are quite specific and do involve training.
The candidate must have cleared the Class 12 examinations or the equivalent (10+2) in order to become a flight attendant. However, graduate degrees are preferred. In India, you must possess an Indian passport, perfect eyesight, a height of at least 157 cm, and much more.
Now, getting to travelling, flight attendants get to explore and experience the night/day life of the cities that they fly to, being able to see all the tourist locations as well.
A travel interpreter/translator usually accompanies an English-speaker on their trips to various countries or foreign speakers to an English-speaking country. The main job of a travel interpreter/translator is to facilitate the communication between two parties and to help create a bridge between the language barriers. Depending on whether it is a business interaction or if you are a tourist guide, the communication can range from being extremely formal to colloquially informal.
Some translators even have opportunities to explore the world and learn new languages while writing about it as a travel journalist. As well as being an interpreter, translators also have other opportunities in the travel industry, like translating books, websites, marketing material, etc.
To become a cultural anthropologist, you’ll have to start beforehand. Usually a bachelor’s degree is required for entry-level and a master’s/doctorate degree is required for advancement. A sociocultural anthropologist studies the language, art, customs and traditions of a certain culture or society and compares it with that of the past.
If you love experiencing and analyzing new cultures and rituals, this aspect of anthropology is perfect for you. Anthropologists are required to travel to various areas to understand each culture and may even have to live with different civilizations. This job is more for people who want to experience a new way of living, rather than take pictures with famous landmarks.

Neena was the sole caregiver of Amma and though one would think that Amma was dependent on her, Neena felt otherwise.
Neena inhaled the aroma that emanated from the pan and took a deep breath. The aroma of cumin interspersed with butter transported her back to the modest kitchen in her native village. She could picture her father standing in the kitchen wearing his white crisp kurta as he made delectable concoctions for his only daughter.
Neena grew up in a home where both her parents worked together in tandem to keep the house up and running. She had a blissful childhood in her modest two-room house. The house was small but every nook and cranny gave her memories of a lifetime. Neena’s young heart imagined that her life would follow the same cheerful course. But how wrong she was!
When she was sixteen, the catastrophic clutches of destiny snatched away her parents. They passed away in a road accident and Neena was devastated. Relatives thronged her now gloomy house and soon it was decided that she should be married off.
Women today don’t want to be in a partnership that complicates their lives further. They need an equal partner with whom they can figure out life as a team, playing by each other’s strengths.
We all are familiar with that one annoying aunty who is more interested in our marital status than in the dessert counter at a wedding. But these aunties have somehow become obsolete now. Now they are replaced by men we have in our lives. Friends, family, and even work colleagues. It’s the men who are worried about why we are not saying yes to one among their clans. What is wrong with us? Aren’t we scared of dying alone? Like them?
A recent interaction with a guy friend of mine turned sour when he lectured me about how I would regret not getting married at the right time. He lectured that every event in our lives needs to be completed within a certain timeframe set by society else we are doomed. I wasn’t angry. I was just disappointed to realize that annoying aunties are rapidly doubling in our society. And they don’t just appear at weddings or family functions anymore. They are everywhere. They are the real pandemic.
Let’s examine this a little closer.
