Rwanda has adopted a tourism strategy that safeguards its attractions for the long-term: deliberately restricting visitor numbers and focusing on the high-end traveler. I love this approach, as it fosters sustainability. Moreover, you can make a difference in Rwanda, even as a family. Rwanda has experienced an influx of new eco-luxury properties: One & Only […]

When you start dreaming about jobs that involve travel, medicine is rarely first on that list. However, there is a surprising number of healthcare professionals that can travel either short-term or long-term. Furthermore, you don’t have to be an EMT or doctor to qualify for such positions. Here are 7 great healthcare careers for those who like to travel. We’ll also discuss the pay rates and job opportunities these positions open up to you.
Travel nursing is one of the best jobs for those who like to travel. As a travel nurse, you will be asked to fill urgent roles where they are experiencing a shortage or are in need of a certain expertise that they might not have on hand. In many cases, both your travel and room and board are covered, and you’re well paid. You can work anywhere from 6 to 26 weeks.
Travel nurses are expected to be registered nurses with a bachelor’s degree, though median pay is much higher than the $70,000 a year most RNs earn. However, this is a job where you could have a few months off between contracts, so that’s something you’ll have to keep in mind.
If you’re interested in the field and want to get your qualifications as fast as possible, we suggest you check out online programs. From all the states in the country, Texas has some of the most reputable online nursing programs you can find. You can find an accredited online accelerated nursing program in Texas that will allow you to get a BSN degree and use previous credits to get your credentials faster. You’ll learn mostly online, but there are hybrid interactive courses and clinical experiences they line up for you.
This is an option for nurses who want to move out of the ward and into administration, though someone with an HR background could also enter this field. As a travel nurse recruiter, you’ll be able to travel even more than the average travel nurse. This is because you’ll be visiting facilities that have trouble finding enough skilled nurses and well as visiting locations with nurses who may want to make a change. Expect to do interviews in the field, but you can hit the sights when you’re done. Recruiters may be salaried or paid on commission.
Medical scribes typically work in emergency rooms taking notes so that doctors and nurses don’t have to interrupt care to document what they are doing. Scribing is a great way to enter the medical profession without having to become a doctor or nurse. You could be trained in a matter of months. Furthermore, you can find travel assignments in this area.
There is currently a shortage of trained therapists, which is why many facilities are hiring traveling therapists while they try to fill openings. There are also opportunities that arise when a therapist is on maternity leave or medical leave.
Most assignments as a travel therapist are between 13 to 26 weeks. You’ll earn more than a standard therapist role. Not only will you be able to choose where you go, but you’ll also be free to travel between assignments if you don’t want to work 3 months in a vacation destination.
There are also tons of resorts around the country that are looking for qualified nurses to fill positions during the high season or full time. As a resort nurse, you will be responsible for attending any medical emergency, whether it’s providing first aid, CPR, or treating injuries.
As a resort nurse, you might be the only medical professional in an entire resort. You will be the one responsible for dealing with first responders when they get on the scene and direct them. However, this is a pretty laid-back position in most cases. This could also be your chance to live on some of the best resorts the world has to offer.
Note that there are all sorts of resorts looking for nurses. However, if you’re looking for seasonal work and love skiing, we strongly suggest you start looking at ski resorts. Not only are these usually in gorgeous locales, but you’ll also get the chance to hit the slopes on your off time.
Whether you’re selling pharmaceuticals or medical equipment, sales representatives have plenty of opportunities to travel. You might spend weeks in the field, hopping from destination to destination. You’ll also get the chance to attend conferences all over the world and meet all sorts of interesting people.
The average sales rep earns more than $90,000 a year, though some earn much more than that. Note that you don’t necessarily need a healthcare background to become a rep, though you will need to have a strong foundation in medical and scientific terminology. You might already have all you need if you’re a former doctor or nurse, however.
These are great options if you’d like to see the world and play an essential role. You could work on a cruise ship and visit various ports on your days off, or work on a yacht and spend days or weeks at sea. You could enjoy the French Riviera one week, and sail the Cretan coast the next.
You also shouldn’t assume that getting a job on a yacht is impossible. As a matter of fact, the internet has made it easier than ever for nurses to connect with yacht owners looking for help. However, the most important is having the right qualifications.
To work on a yacht, you will usually need to have at least a bachelor’s degree. People will also tend to favor those who have experience with cardiac rehabilitation modules and have some sort of ER experience. However, some will be happy with nothing but a paramedic qualification.
As far as websites go, there are sites like BoatCareer.com, YaCrew, and YoSpot where you can find positions. They routinely post new listings, and there are many other services and agencies that can help you find owners as well. Note, however, that you may have to take additional safety courses if you want to work on a ship, and will also need to look up B1B2 visas for those thinking of traveling beyond Europe.
Many medical jobs involve local travel. However, it is possible to find medical jobs that allow for regional and global travel, including to the destinations you would love to be paid to visit.

Mondays. Whether your work week begins on an actual Monday or whatever day of the week your work “Monday” is, shifting our mindset to look forward to this day plays a significant role in the overall quality of our everyday lives. Originating from the Middle English word monedai, from Old English mōndæg, contraction of mōnandæg “Monday,” literally “day […]
While it need never be said, it ought to be mentioned nevertheless: that the best sports watch is the one that is available (I shake my head at Submariner waiting lists) and definitely the one you can afford (I’m also shaking my head at Submariner resellers) – in that respect, the Tudor Black Bay has fit the bill. Recently, Tudor has deigned to release yet another game changer – the Tudor Royal collection.
An affordable, versatile luxury sports watch with integrated bracelet, the new Tudor Royal collection addresses yet another market gap in a genre of dressy sports timepieces that has long been dominated by two of the biggest names in the industry. Cutting edge and uncompromising, the new Tudor Royal is arguably the coolest Tudor since the Black Bay series, sitting at the crossroads between classic and sports watches.
Available in stainless steel or the famed house signature “two-tone” stainless steel and gold, the new Tudor Royal is offered in 4 sizes with 9 possible dials with a strong 1970s retro feel. If the “Royal” sounds familiar within the Tudor family, it was a collection from the 1950s – the ladies Royal models of the era encompassed angular cases as well, a pre-cursor of the modern aesthetic trend which then caught on in contemporary watchmaking in 1972 with another royally named sports watch.
At a glance, the new Tudor Royal looks like an album of the brand’s “greatest hits” design elements – a re-interpreted fluted bezel with contrast finishing, the sunray finished dials of a Tudor old school Tudor Oyster Prince Date models, there’s a certain classic charm in Tudor’s use of Roman numerals – itself, an aesthetic detail when you notice that Tudor rounded the numerals themselves so it mirrors the curvature of the dial circumference, adding to the sophisticated appeal of the whole design.
With a screw-down crown and 100 metres depth rating, the new Tudor Royal is indeed the definition of sports-chic. It is not powered by any of Tudor’s manufacture or proprietary movements. instead, it uses a robust ETA 2824 in the larger models and an equally able ETA 2671 in the smallest 28 mm model. Obviously, without Tudor’s vaunted in-house calibres with 72 hours autonomous run time, the 38 hour power reserve on a perfunctory but practical ETA can be a cause for concern but when you recognise the Tudor Royal’s raison d’être as your default daily beater, it makes total sense.
Available in 41, 38, 34, and 28 mm sizes, the Tudor Royal shares the same aesthetic features and functions but only the largest model is offered with the day-date function. Oddly, the brand has elected to release the watch at authorised retailers and boutiques in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Philippines only.
While it is certain that watch aficionados can find ways around this arbitrary geographical limitation, fans looking for that sports watch with integrated bracelet feel can look to another model from Tudor, the North Flag.
Made for the modern adventurer, the Tudor North Flag is the ultimate tool watch, it was also the first watch series alongside the Pelagos to be fitted with manufacture movements in 2015. The Tudor North Flag was available in a solid steel integrated bracelet configuration or available with a matt black leather strap, structured with yellow top-stitching and lining, both fitted with a Tudor folding clasp in a polished and satin-finished version.
Angular, finely honed and entirely satin-finished for a matt effect, the middle case of the Tudor North Flag stands in marked contrast from the dressier aesthetic of the Tudor Royal’s polished mid-case with fluted bezel. The North Flag conjures a highly technical, “scientific” perception, albeit one softened by delicate refinements typical of the detail lavished by Rolex’s sister brand.
Unlike the new Tudor Royal’s ETA movement, an in-house MT5621 calibre drives the North Flag providing impressive autonomy with a power reserve of approximately 70 hours, regulated by a variable inertia oscillator with silicon balance spring, held in place by a traversing bridge fixed at both sides to improve resistance to shocks and vibrations.
Movement Automatic ETA 2834 for 41 mm; ETA 2824 for 38 & 34 mm; ETA 2671 for 28 mm with 38 hours power reserve
Case 41, 38, 34, 28mm with stainless steel or steel & gold with 100 metres water resistance
Strap Integrated Bracelet
Price From CHF2,200
