How would you like to be able to visit some of the worlds most exotic, beautiful and far away places that few people will ever get to see?  Including the Bahamas, the Caribbean, the Far East, Australia, Europe, Canada, and USA?

Imagine waking up each day in a different, exciting and unique tropical island, the sun shining, the weather hot, the sea crystal clear – and the only decision you have to make is which beach you’re going to visit that day!

Imagine always having plenty of cash and doing all those exciting things you’ve always wanted to do: jet skiing, jeeping around exotic islands, learning to scuba dive, trekking through rainforests, whale watching, hiking to waterfalls, swimming with dolphins, snorkeling in crystal clear sea, shopping in unique countries or simply relaxing on the best beaches in the world.

Does this all sound like a pipe dream to you? It really isn’t, you know.  This is exactly how thousands of other people are choosing to live their lives right now, as we speak.  This is exactly the life that I have led.  This is exactly the life that YOU too could be living.

Sure, the scenery is beautiful and let’s face it, it’s still a lot better than working in a stuffy office. That is of course unless you’re stuck working in the galley all day. Then it can be as bad as working at the local diner. Except at the local diner, your customers don’t expect their meals to taste like they were prepared for the Queen of England. Or maybe they do. After all, some people can be pretty demanding.

In the next article in this series, I’m going to go over a few jobs that you can expect to find on a cruise ship. In the meantime, check out the link in my signature for a review of a great resource that will greatly help you land that job of your dreams.

Renowned for being one of the most breathtaking destinations on earth, the Maldives has certainly got it right when it comes to the exotic. Boasting an unparalleled array of unspoilt beaches, luxurious accommodation options and glistening, clear blue waters, it is impossible not to fall in love with this slice of paradise. Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is comprised of over 1,000 coralline islands, of which 202 are inhabited. Due to the fact that 99.5 percent of its territory is sea, water plays an integral role in island life. Indeed, fishing and boat expeditions form a central role in the economy, and as a result, the country has become famous for its snorkelling and scuba diving opportunities. The capital, Male’, is a great place to begin your exploration of the Maldives and offers up some truly unique experiences. The fish market is definitely worthy of a visit and is the perfect place to discover the vast range of delicious seafood on offer. To gain a glimpse into the daily lives of the local people, as well as learning about their rich and intriguing history, you should also make time to visit the Huskuru Miskiiy – the city’s main mosque and home to one of the world’s most impressive exhibits of coral curving – and the National Museum. However, if tropical paradise is what you’re after, then no trip to the Maldives would be complete without experiencing the many beaches scattered around. Opulent, enchanting and exotic go some way to describing what the islands and their resorts are like, but without visiting them, it is impossible to believe such perfection exists. Due to its abundance of sea life and staggering coral reefs, the Maldives are cited as one of the best scuba diving and snorkelling locations in the world. In addition to being able to spot such fish as Napoleon Wrasse, parrotfish, sweetlips and barracudas, it is also possible to embrace the spirit of exploration with the abundance of hidden caves and caverns. Not only that, but according to research, the coral reaches an overwhelming depth of 2,100 metres on the fringing reef; an incredible fact when you imagine that, on average, it can take a year for coral to grow a mere 2 millimetres! It is little wonder then that the Maldives’ underwater world attracts a huge number of both hobby and professional diving enthusiasts. And, there can be nothing more enticing after a long, hard day spent in the water, than indulging in one of the luxurious spa treatments available or relaxing on the beach, cocktail in hand, watching the sun set over paradise. Maldives holidays are therefore ideal for those seeking a relaxing holiday in a tropical paradise.
