I believe I've stumbled upon the perfect career opportunity for me, simply by searching through my school's alumni database for contacts in travel. I want to be a tour director! The position sounds perfect for me. You get to carry out tours to the specifications of the company who hires you. This requires organization and leadership. You also have to be social with the tour group and keep them entertained, so my extensive customer service experience will come in handy.
I had no idea that the people in the travel industry went to specific schools and took courses in their areas though. I found a tour director school in San Francisco that is supposed to be the best in the business: ITMI. My new goal is to enroll and then start networking with companies so I can find some jobs leading international tours.
Travelling = love.
