How to travel the world?
How do you get enough money to travel everywhere? Is there any jobs that travel anywhere? I want to travel the world, but i would like it to be where maybe my work/employer would help pay. Is there any jobs out there for that?

As youngster that was EXACTLY what I wanted to do. Travel the world at someone else's expense. I thought long and hard about how to do it and decided in the end that working for someone who would then ask me to travel all over the world was not the type of job that I wanted. Businesses make you work, and work hard, when you are abroad with little time to see anything of interest in that country. Other organizations that offer work abroad with travel usually pay so little that it is more like volunteering and using your own money - which I didn't and still don't have.
So what can I suggest? I decided to get a permanent job abroad and use that as a base to travel. I didn't speak another language so it looked as if I would have to get a job in an English speaking country. However, being trained as a teacher, and with a few years of teaching experience under my belt, I was fortunate to get a teaching job abroad. And that is perhaps what you might consider doing. I was unaware then that every capital and many of the large cities of the world, from Albania to Zambia, and from Athens to Zanzibar all have bi-lingual schools. They are mostly English speaking schools, but there are also French, German, Italian and a host of others as well. They serve 2 communities:
1) The families from English speaking countries (usually USA, UK, Australia, NZ or South Africa) who wish to have their kids taught in English, and by qualified native English speaking teachers who follow a recognized curriculum from back home
2) Local families who can afford to send their offspring to a bi-lingual school so they can learn English form a young age.
i enjoyed working abroad as a teacher for several years. i was able to travel widely during every vacation, and I heartily recommend it for the right person.
So there we are. I hope this has helped you a little. Let me know if you need more assistance. I'm on Messenger or by email.
Best of luck.

I was an engineer and went to more than 40 countries. My friends thought how lucky I was to go to all those interesting places. The problem was I was there to work 12+ hour days. I usually only got to see the jobsite and my hotel room. I spent weeks in Paris and never got to see the Eiffel Tower except out of the window of a taxi. I finally got to go up on the tower when I went there on vacation.

You would need a skill. Such as international law, international business degree, marketing with knowledge of other languages.
Employers do not send people on vacations just to lay around.
