Travelling , David A.


Don’t treat shared bathrooms like a spa

Imagine the scene. After standing in the corridor for over 15 minutes waiting to use one of the hostels only two showers, the door of the bathroom opens and sot steam floods the corridor, the silhouette of a person appear from the steam and with angry voice says: Don’t worry I’m finish!

Don’t be the late-night rustler

Last night of the holyday, you’re in the bed, tired, and when you in the relax time 3 or 4 am, when you need one second for start to sleep, a roommate decide to make the bag just in this moment! He can’t wait to the morning no, he need to do in just moment, the only you can think it’s: the world is not fear...

Think before you hit the light switch

Like before, you’re just about to drift off to sleep when in the dorm room start the Star Wars! A group of ex-friends turn on the light, turn off, turn on, turn off, again and again… This situation do a situation like the movie of Saw; shouts, curses, broken legs…

Leave romance at the dorm room door

An unfamiliar sounds wakes you, the couple it’s doing amateur porn video, top of your bunk… When travelers are on the road for a while, sparks inevitably fly. But there are better venues for romance…

Lay off the beans

A powerful odour wafts through the dorm. You have two options; covered with the blanket your face or draw the sword, as we are not murderers we choose the first option, planning the revenge of course…

Keep your clothes on

You’re happily packing when a badger entry to the room, badger? NO! It’s the furry ass of your friend! The confidence is good, a lot of confidence maybe not…

Don’t be the guy with the phone

You are sleeping so calm when a mobile phone wakes you, the ring tone can be a normal alarm or can be “seek and destroy” of Metallica, when is the first you do a shout and the torture ends. If be the second, you may prefer to Freddy Krueger comes into your dreams...

Don’t be the dorm room slob

Your roommate is eating her twenty pack of snacks, you may think he can’t do it worst, but always can be worst. Your roommate think that is the best moment to go to the bath, of course, he sleeps in the top of the bunk. Perfet, Right?

Don’t lounge with laundry

The roommate of the before situation, and this time he’s got the laundry. He hangs her just-washed clothes around the dorm room, if that musty smell wasn’t enough, a pair of underpants has just fallen onto your pillow. Perfect, right?

No pinching

You’ve just go back from a long trek in the Desert of Sahara and you’re itching (literally) for a shower. You grab your shampoo, reach for your towel – and your hand brushes thin air. Someone has taken your one and only towel. You have two options: Go to find the thief with the guns and naked, or dried with the laundry.

The best careers for travelling the world



We are aware that we want and need to travel, travel the world, see new places, cultures and languages, undertake unique adventures that reflect unique sensations and give us a unique sense of life.For it one of the easiest and most comfortable way is to look for a job.

There are many jobs where is necessary traveling, being moving from one place to an other, this does not mean that we can enjoy more or less from the place of destination, be lying face up in a hammock ... although in many cases it has to take our side, a job gives you the opportunity to be in a certain place earning money to support, and the fact that travel and meet and interact with the site.

An example of this work would be: flight attendant, Teaching English, The crew of the cruise, Tour Guides, Interpreter, sound or lighting technician, photographer, Virtual Office, Au pair, Wwoofer, Beauty Therapists, The crew of a yacht.

Most of these works are well paid and it’s needed a good training for work and a high level of English to make things easier.
