Need a major life change? Get paid to travel 14 countries in 1 year.

Whoa. Imagine yourself taking this job/oppurtunity I just stumbled upon.  A couple wants to travel 14 countries in 12 months and need you to nanny their 2 year old and newborn.  They will be staying for 30 days in most countries and plan on volunteering in some of them.

These are the countries they are headed to:

1. Peru

2. Brazil

3. Sierra Leone

4. Ghana

5. South Africa

6. Israel

7. India

8. Bhutan

9. Myanmar

10. Thailand

11. Cambodia

12. Vietnam

13. Laos

14. Copenhagen (for 1 week)

15. If your home country is not on this list, we may be able to add it to the itinerary. Please ask us during the interview.

It doesn’t pay so much monetarily, but I figure you can write a damn book after you get back and make up lost funds that way!
