I do not have a degree,I have travel & tourism qualification also Alevel English.I have worked within business travel and have passport/visa experience. I would love to work for an adventure travel company or something similar that would perhaps also involve travelling abroad.

Best camera for amateur adventure travel photographer? Hello everyone! I've been researching cameras but I'm a bit overwhelmed. I have a Minolta, which is great, but it takes forever, especially with night shots, to take a picture. It's also blurry if I'm not steady enough. As an eco adventure traveler, I need a durable digital camera that can withstand the elements fairly well. I'm also a student, so the price needs to be somewhat reasonable. Around $500 or less. I'm willing to spend more if it's worth it. Thanks! I've looked at Pentax Optio W20 and the Olympus Stylus Digital 730.

Which country should I travel for adventure and fun? Im from the U.S. planning to travel somewhere with two of my college friends who are originally from Guatemala and Mexico. They both speak fluent Spanish and go back to visit family every few years. We all want to travel to see new things and meet new people. But I really want to experience something other than American culture (Im the only one that has yet to travel internationally) Europe seems much more expensive now on a college student budget. Anywhere else that you consider a must-go for a first time international traveler but will be different enough for my friends?

Got a travel/adventure show idea? What do you really want to see on TV? What type of travel and adventure show would be interesting? Do you ever dream of just leaving everything behind and heading out to see the world? If you did, what would fascinate you?
What about a travel adventure show with an average married couple? What about an average married couple that sells everything, leaves it all behind and travels to exciting destinations? No celebrities. No drama. No fake scenarios. No overpriced "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" resorts. Just average people who are fun to watch and that you can identify with. Not so much reality but sort of fun, adventurous and educational.
