I want a job that allows me to see the world. I don’t want to be traveling all the time. But a trip every 2 months or so to somewhere like Paris, France or Rome, Italy or even Egypt and a few other places would be nice.

1Have you thought of being a courier?
The job is often thought of these days as some one who traffics illegal substances for a fee. However there are legitimate couriers too.
If someone wants to sell a piece of jewelry worth a few million to some one abroad, the insurance company would insist that they engage a courier to take it personally. Important Documents, antiques and other things are sometimes sent by courier.
Diplomatic couriers take government documents to embassies all round the world.
Being a Personal secretary, Nanny, Body guard, chef, hairdresser or trainer could include travelling but you are not guaranteed much free time to see the places you may travel to. You would be at the beck and call of the boss, who may be a wonderful person but probably not.
Travel, Cruise and Airline companies, know full well that the prospect of a free stay abroad will attract applicants for jobs more than the salary. Perfectly nice people can turn into absolute monsters when they are away from home and the reps and crew have to sort it all out.
Personally, I think it is better to get a good job which pays enough so that you can afford to fly off to exotic places for a proper holiday.
Paris and Rome you need to spend a lot of time to see all the sights properly. Egypt if you are thinking of the pyramids in Cairo, that takes about 10 minutes. The museum, where all the finds are housed half a day but a nile cruise where you can visit several places including Luxor takes at least a week.
