not only go to different countries, but to live in different places around the

family events and vacations, so they experience many aspects of the new culture
while on the job. However,

experience many things that interest adults.

working abroad, being an English teacher maybe a good choice. There are English
teaching jobs in almost countries in the world. People teaching English in other countries often
have a chance to travel on the weekends around the country. One drawback is

they don’t have time to learn the country’s language.

job involves life on the road. Roadies are people who work and travel with bands and provide technical
support. Roadies can be lighting and stage crew who set up the stage and break
it down before and after events. They can also be technicians helping band
