Searching for a change or feeling a little bored?

 Searching for a change or feeling a little bored?

 There are many people that go through these feelings of boredom and frustration. It might be where you live, it might your job, it might be whom your with in a relationship. It could be many things that may be helping you to feel this way.

 It could be within yourself and in order to fix the feelings of boredom you must work from the inside out.

 I have always been a person that keeps moving, I believe a rolling stone gathers no moss. For months now I have wondered why I continue to live in Las Vegas when I love California so much?

 I just want to travel and get payed to take photographs along the way.

 My wife and I are going to start a travel agency and she mentioned that I could be a travel agent for Americans, Canadians, etc, that are interested in tours to Myanmar (Burma) & Thailand.

 I am looking for suggestions from my friends at Activerain?

 I would get payed to travel, take photographs of foreign countries and show others the wonders of the world.

 I could not do it every week because I would get jet-lag and it would be very hard on the body & mind. I am thinking maybe twice per month.

 I am open to others opinions on this subject.

Robert, if anyone could make a living at travel and photography, it would be you. Have you checked into freelancing, selling your travel photo's to magazines? A travel agency with a professional photographer sounds like a good combination.

Robert--

It's a great idea.  Not sure about even 2x per month.  Might get pretty hectic, but you seem to be a man with a lot of energy!  I have friends that have been travel photogs, writers and they have made it an adventurous life.  I say "GO FOR IT"!!!

With the photo skills, add travel writer and book writer to the list.  The photographs that you take really capture the views and local color.
