Adventure Travel Tour Guiding Among Best Summer Jobs
Adventure travel companies are similar to land tour companies. Guides give guests the time of their lives while they are in Alaska for vacation. Seasonal work with adventure companies is available for people wanting to see the country from a slightly different angle.
College students and other adventure seekers can come to Alaska and work their way across the country. Adventure travel is popular for those people that are looking for a more active type of vacation. Guests no longer want to sit on the sidelines and just observe the happenings. They want to get involved. This is where adventure touring comes into play.
Adventure tours allow guests to view the unspoiled nature of Alaska. They can take a wildlife excursion to view Alaskan bears, caribou, moose, and Dall sheep. Seeing the land from a zipline is breathtaking and fun for the younger visitors to Alaska.
Some adventure travel is associated with wilderness lodges. Guides lead guests on bicycle tours, hiking trips, and river rafting tours. A guide needs to be able to troubleshoot problems with equipment and medical situations during the adventure. You may be called on to take fishermen out for a day on the lake or guide a hunting party.
Adventure travel companies lead all sorts of tours. Eco-friendly tours are conducted to national parks and preserves in Alaska. These tours allow guests to see the country but are more for learning about nature and its components. Tours are conducted on land and along bodies of water.
Adventure travel jobs are varied. Workers can choose from several guide positions: jeep guides, nature guides, kayak guides, white water rafting guides, bus escort, bus driver, canoe guides, bicycle leader, backpacking guide, fishing guides, rock climbing, walking guides, and wildlife jobs. Depending on where you work in Alaska, you could be a skiing guide.
Travel companies also need to fill office positions within the company. Tours have to be organized and the logistics of travel worked out before guests arrive for their adventure. People in these support positions work hard to see that the jobs of the others are a bit less hectic. These positions include bookkeepers, administrative assistants, and booking agents. Adventure companies associated with lodges need administrative help at the sites. These positions give seasonal workers a chance to see Alaska as well.
Room and board are provided by the adventure travel company for their workers. Toru guides travel with the guests from place to place. Guides associated with adventure lodges are housed in staff quarters and provided with gourmet meals like those enjoyed by the guests. Workers can also use the facilities available to guests and enjoy adventures as a perk of their employment.
When applying for job openings with an adventure travel company, play to your strengths if you can. Any experience that you have in a particular area, say fishing, white water rafting, and mountain biking, will help to acquire a guide job with an adventure company. This is not a requirement but it helps.
Let’s look at a job as a canopy guide [...]

Say Hello to the Best of Florida Beaches
Copyright (c) 2008 Terry Hely
There is over 1,100 miles (1760 klms) of beaches in Florida that stretch endlessly along the Atlantic and Gulf Of Mexico shorelines. There is no doubt that the Florida coastline has a beach to suit every visitor, no matter what your interest, be it treasure hunting, shelling, surfing, birding, people watching, Florida history, snorkeling or romantic getaway.
So pump up the beach ball, get ready to build an award-winning sand castle, put on your favorite bather and have some family fun on the beaches of your choice. Don’t be surprised if a dolphin or two goes bobbing past just a few metres away as they cruise the shallow Gulf Of Mexico waters searching for their dinner.
The quality of the Florida beaches is so so good that to describe any of them as “the best” can easily do a disservice to the others. In the following descriptions of Florida regions and their beaches, is is probably best to talk of these beaches as being “most popular” for visitors to Florida.
Each beach is unique in its own way. Some Florida beaches are exposed to the ocean swells, some are on the ocean side of barrier islands while others lie on the leeward side of barrier islands. Some are famous for the abundance of shells, others for finding pre-historic sharks teeth. Some beach locations attract holiday makers looking for bright lights, glamor and action while others seek peace, quiet and tranquility.
** Favorite Florida Beach Destinations:
South East Coast:- Miami Beach : Key Biscayne : Fort Lauderdale
East Coast :- Cape Canaveral : Space Coast & Treasure Coast : Daytona Beach : Amelia Island
Florida Keys :- Bahia Honda at Marathon : Smathers at Key West
West Coast:- Naples : Marco, Captiva and Sanibel Islands : Clearwater & St Petersburg
Panhandle:- Panama City Beach : Destin & Fort Walton
** A Word Of Caution:
If you are going to spend any time in the water at any of the Florida beaches, it’s a sensible precaution to brush up on your knowledge of “sea lice”. The offending critters are actually microscopic jellyfish larvae. The most common cases involve the larvae becoming trapped between the bathing suit fabric and the skin. It is also quite common to find that the larvae is attached to seaweed and transfers to the body as you brush against the seaweed.
Avoid seaweed clumps in the water and walking through seaweed and flotsam deposited on the high tide line. Keep your children out of the seaweed clumps as a precaution. While the sea lice season is usually thought to be the summer period between March to August, the author has experienced stings on the Gulf Coast in late October.
The part of the body that came in contact with the larvae quickly develops scores of raised red welts that cause extreme irritation and scratching that lasta at least a few days and possibly a week or longer. Some adults may feel tired and unwell and develop a fever. Children are more likely to develop nausea, [...]
