She should just stick with what she knows, since she has some expertise in that.
A few possibilities there:
1. a business that organizes all these business nomads out there. Does all the necessary research, finds out all the services that are needed etc. Instead of 1 person moving at a time, it'd be a group of 200. Instead of arriving and knowing noone in the area, you arrive with 200 people you know. Instead of getting the first available apartment, you have one rented by the time you arrive. etc etc.
2. a business that does something as above, but for big 3 month long vacations aimed at those who want to see the world.
3. concierge vacationer for rich folks, figures out exotic destinations etc.
4. just answer for travel questions
5. unbiased travel destinations reviews for $10/yr
- geekfactor 16y agoI really like idea #2. Call it something like WorkTheWorld.com. Work out all the details for folks who just want to live and work someplace else for a while. It's something I think a lot of people want to do but it seems too hard for most. This service could make it easier. For independents, pre-screen living situations with fast internet, find the best language courses, identify meetups and other groups that they might want to connect with while they're gone, plus all the usual travel stuff. Maybe for folks working for other folks, provide info on visas/work permits and possible employers.
- hnhg 16y agoAgreed, the idea is great. Perhaps another focus would be on people who want to take a career break to go travelling and need help. I've known a fair few people who've done this and then gone back to their job. They get a taste for adventure, need something a bit more substantial than the usual 2-3 weeks off, and try a bit of travelling for a while. You get something that inspires them and makes life easier for them and I think you have a winner. EDIT: You could do it by region. I've known people wanting to tackle China, or S.America or Europe in big chunks. 3 weeks isn't enough for these places and 3 months seems just right. I would like to know, however, if your exposure as a tourist agency to litigation risks increases as the trips become more complex and lengthier.
- noodle 16y agodoing #1 and #2 at the same time would be easy.
- monk-e-boy 16y agoMy SO just went to Uganda to volunteer in a primary school. It was a right faf to organise and was completely chaotic. I'd pay a few hundred just for the peace of mind that someone who isn't a complete moron was working out all the details.
- Mizza 16y agoI'd use this.
- Uchikoma 16y ago#2 is a great idea. I'd love to work for a year in #NYC as (lead dev, CTO, VP eng or whatever ;-)
