I've spent the last 5 years working all over the EMEA region, it can get a bit wearying after a while so now just settling in to traveling around Germany but it looks like travel is back on the cards again with gigs in Schweiz, Spain and France looming up. Get based on the mainland doing mainframes and you're looking good...

Ah...see it's obvious once some one tells you.

A bird at my last permie job left to work as a stewardess for Virgin – then came back 6 months later

A relative of mine aspires to be an air stewardess, which I assume is the same thing but for women.

She's currently at college, though I've no idea what sort of course she needs to pass to get that kind of job? Maybe one where they teach you how to open miniture spirit bottles without braking a nail, and not rolling around in tears of laughter when they ask for 5 quid for it.

Friend of mine is a flight attendant and keeps banging on about how he spent x days here, x days there etc all around different exotic places in the world

Training takes you all over. Exhausting though.

Flight attendant is usually no good as you're mostly on the same route to my knowledge (besides the crappy pay that is).

Not true; you will typically go to varied destinations either on the same aircraft or through shift rotations. Friend of mine is a flight attendant and keeps banging on about how he spent x days here, x days there etc all around different exotic places in the world (he gets a couple of days off, with spending money, after a long haul shift before doing a return shift) The basic pay is atrocious though.

Or Hector?

A mate of mine got a gig once upgrading routers all across Europe for about 9 months - sounded like fun.

I'm off to Geneva next month

Going through terminal 5

It's just that I, as opposed to most computer people, actually like to travel for no good reason at all. Meeting new people, getting drunk in strange places etc

One particular niche I have found are professional trainers, who teach say GSM or 3G stuff, now GSM is hot news in Africa so you get to teach over there for decent money.

Training is a good one, especially if it involves roll outs to regional offices.

You running from the long arm of the law?
