Moms Who Love to Travel

A lot of mommies have always had that passion to travel, whether for pleasure or work. And for moms who do not have babies and little kids who need as much attention and care, they have greater liberty to explore this passion once again.

If you are the type of mom who gets easily bored staying in one place for a long time or doing repetitive tasks for a period of time, you probably cannot stand jobs that restrict you to the office or that does not provide travel incentives.

Perhaps you are more suited to be a writer or researcher for a travel blog, magazine, or show. This way, you can actually visit different beautiful places for free and be able to explore them as part of your regular work. Or maybe you would be great as an insurance agent or as a network marketer who is always on the go, meeting and dealing with new people in various areas. Another option you can consider is Travel Nursing, which is an exciting career in the medical field nowadays.

On the other hand, plenty of moms wish to take a break every now and then by going to tourist spots within the country or taking a vacation in another country. It can really be taxing to be a full-time mommy, whether you are taking care of a baby or a teenager. Sometimes, you just want to relax and have fun. Naturally, you may not be able to do this if your child is still below 13 years old unless you have a trusted adult to take care of him or her.

Just remember that when you are traveling, it is advisable to have health insurance in case of emergencies. Depending on your usual circumstances, your needs, and preferences, a good and reliable provider such as MedicareSupplementalInsurance.com can surely give you a policy that will best benefit you. This can at least take away your worries about suddenly getting sick or meeting an accident. Even though you do not want to actually consider that such incidents may happen, you have to be prepared at all times.

Being a mom is like being a girl scout. You should always be ready for any situation, whether you are home or on the go. This is especially necessary if you love to travel.

Why Not Consider a Writing Career Online?

If you think you have a knack for writing, why not try your luck with the many possibilities swarming on the Internet so you can earn from this talent of yours? Writing online is becoming quite a popular trend at present, and if you are based here in the Philippines, you already have an advantage because Filipinos are known to be hard workers plus we can usually use the English language better than other nationalities.

You may be surprised to find out that writing online can actually bring in more bucks than if you work for 8 hours as an employee. The regular salary of an ordinary Filipino ranges only from P10,000 to P25,000, and the given raise each year is just measly and often gets eaten up by the tax. With online writing opportunities, you can enjoy hourly rates of around $2-$10/hour depending on your credentials. At first you may not be given a high rate yet, but as you go along, you can get raises every three months and your accumulated experience and portfolio of works can push up your earning several notches higher! What's more, this hourly rate is not just for one client. You can have as many clients as you can handle and therefore maximize your earning potential.

Some online writers choose to be paid with fixed rates. There are clients who also prefer this alternative. In this set-up, you are paid for each piece of work that you submit or for every project that you complete. It really depends on your agreement or contract. If you are fortunate, you can earn as much as $30 for just one 500-word article! But the common rate given is usually $3-$10 for this number of words.

Other great benefits of writing online include being your own boss and not having to attend meetings and take on other additional work you don't like; having time freedom to work at your own pace and choose your amount of work; saving on gas, food and clothing allowance; and enjoying the alignment of your income with the work you do (the more hours you put in or the more articles you complete, the higher pay you receive!).

So if you want to join the band of home-based online writers who are earning dollars without having to be apart from the family, pay a placement fee and other expenses, go through all the hassle, and adjust to a new culture, give it a try now. Keep posted for more details, tips, and suggestions about this exciting career. :)

Being a mom is not an easy thing to do. This is why we always put motherhood up there on a pedestal, to give honor to the hardships and challenges involved throughout the journey of a mother in taking care of her children.
