Other - Destinations | | | If you travel at a constant speed and the distance you travel varies directly with your travel timeSuppose in 1.5 hours you can walk 5 miles What is the costant of variation and how did you find this?
| | A. | You divide the numer of miles travelled by the number of hours and the result - the constant of variation - is 3.66 (recurring) miles per hour. | | | |
| Q. | What jobs out there allow a person to travel and write about their travel experiences? | Related Search:
Other - United States | | | I love the travel industry. There's certain feelings I get when traveling to a new place and I want others to feel the same way I do about visiting some place new or experiencing something totally different than what I am use to. I currently work in the travel business advertising vacation property and after seeing how beautiful the land is where some of the properties reside, I get this strong feeling of envy for the owners who get to enjoy the beauty of a vacation destination and of the land their homes rest on.
How on earth can I find a job, aside from being a travel agent, or tour director, or cruise ship director, where I can travel to places I love and write about them for everyone else to experience?
Im looking along the lines of maybe a travel magazine who will pay people to travel or even a website?
| | A. | The travel writing industry is a very hard one to break into.
If you have good background credentials, especially in writing/journalism, it doesn't hurt to try. Apply with National Geographic or Lonely Planet. They're both good companies. | | | |
| Q. | How much does it cost to travel around South America? | Related Search:
Other - Latin America | | | I'm considering traveling around S. America for around 6 months to a year and wondered how much it would roughly cost. I would be back packing and am not expecting to sleep anywhere fancy or travel in luxery but I would like to hit some major cities for nights out as well as traveling to more remote places. Also if anyone knows the anyway to pick up casual work there to earn whilst I'm traveling that would be much appreciated. I don't speak much Spanish at the moment but fully intend on learning.
| | A. | Ok. Transportation? Bus is the cheapest way.. Hostels abound.. but watch out for thieves and pickpockets. In most countries it is against the law to work without a work visa. Also, be careful. Being in a remote place in South America, alone and not speaking Spanish is a recipie for disaster or worse. Do some research before you go. | | | |
| Q. | I can travel standby anywhere for free. How can I make money with this ability? | Related Search:
Air Travel | | | I do know someone who has the same ability who travels back and forth to Japan to teach English. I also have thought of import/export, though I don't know much about it. Being an antiques scout/buyer was suggested to me. I doubt I could compete in the photoessay/travel writer category. Do you have any ideas? Thanks.
No, I'm not an airline employee, and no, I'm not suggesting trying to transfer my pass. Please read my description before replying.
| | A. | You can't. There was a time when a very minute number of passengers could standby--as a pre-approved courier--on a few select and rare international flights for very low prices, but since 9-11, those days are gone....
Baggage allowances are so low, and excess baggage fees so high, that couriering your own goods seems like a difficult way to make some cash--unless you're importing something like rare feathers, for example.
Keep in mind that if your travel is for work, and you actually perform work in another country, you might well be liable for tax on income earned there--further complicating the idea.
Have you considered going with older people who might need some assistance while travelling? Just an idea. | | | |
| Q. | How a travel portal is created? What can be the cost of creating a travel portal? | Related Search:
Air Travel | | | A travel portal needs a website but how the airlines, hotels, cruises, buses, rails are linked. Is it GDS or linking of individual airlines websites, etc. I need more information on this
| | A. | They are linked through affiliate links. You go to the websites and sign up to become an affiliate. Lets pretend you want to make links on your website to travelocity flights for airlines....so you go to travelocity.com and look at the bottom of the website. You will see the words "affiliate program" in small letters. Like this: [Link] 
Click on that to sign up. Once you sign up, travelocity would give you links for whatever flights you need links for. They may even have links that self update if you want a website that updates itself. So if you want to promote hotels, find a hotel affiliate...check hotel.com...look at the bottom of their page for the words "affiliate" and sign up with them if you want to promote hotels....this is how you do it. Just sign up for affiliates, choose what you want to link to, get the links, and put the links on your site. Then you have to log in to the seperate websites to see how much money you are making. If you sign up for travelocity and hotels.com for example, you will have to sign in to both of them to see how much you have made for each. | | | |
| Q. | How can Electromagnetic Radiation travel without a medium? | Related Search:
Physics | | | If Electromagnetic Radiation can travel through the vacuum of space then it can travel without a medium, but shouldn't this be imposable? Or is it true that Electromagnetic Radiation uses the medium of existing magnetic fields, such as earths, distorting these fields much like sound waves do to air? And if so how can this have a direction of travel?
| | A. | Electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum and any other physical medium slows or stops their progression. They do not use existing magnetic fields as a medium, though they do interact with them.
An electromagnetic wave is nothing more than an a propagation of a changing electric and magnetic field. these fields are always perpendicular to each other and travel in the direction of E x B, where E and B are vectors indicating the direction of these fields.
Its because these are electric and magnetic fields. These fields are just regions where forces are exerted on charged particles, they are not made of particles themselves in the same way that sound waves are made from air molecules. | | | |
| Q. | How do you get work at Travel Channel, National Geographic as a travel photographer? Or as anything? | Related Search:
Photography | | | I want to work for travel channel, it must be my job to travel the world. Im studying film directing and taking photography courses. How and where do you think i should get a job that will allow me to travel?
Thanks a mil...
| | A. | Photographers for National Geographic are at the top of their field. Don't expect to get an offer right out of photography school. Look for a job that pays the rent first. Having discouraged you, let me say that there is hope. I attended one of their seminars, which was an excellent orientation to the field. Here is the link to the schedule: [Link] /. In the one I attended, there was a section for pitching ideas. If they heard something that sounded interesting then they pursued it. They seek the kind of imagery that tells a story. It's not the stuff you can buy in a postcard store. So travel and bring your camera. Look for the unique, rare, or surprising and which conveys an emotion or evokes one in the viewer. Build up your experience. Hone your skills. Be self-critical. A good photographer can get a winning shot with a 3 megapixel camera, while a hack will still get junk from an $8,000 DSLR. | | | |
