Travelling Event Planner
Why not become an event planner who specialises in organising events that happen on the other side of the world?

You could use your travel expertise to plan events to perfection where customers can’t do it for themselves. You might even have to travel to the destination yourself as part of the service, just to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day.
