Gravesite tourists are a real thing. Sounds strange at first, but, visiting the graves of famous dead people is a very common thing to do as a traveler.  Have you ever been to or want to go to the pyramids of Egypt? Or the Taj Mahal in India or Westminster Abbey in London? Then you are a gravesite tourist. Many millions of people visit these famous sites each year and easily forget these are gravesites, tombs, or resting places for very famous people. Gravesite tourism comes in all shapes and sizes. There are religious pilgrimages to graves like the tomb of Jesus in Jeruselaham and Pope John Paul under Saint Peter basilica in the Vatican city. Then you got patriots and political figure tourists who visit leaders like JKF and George Washington in the U.S.A. Ho Chi Min in Vietnam, Mao Zedong in China, and our favorite; Kim Jong-il in North Korea. Not to forget everyone's favorite pop culture icons from music stars like Bon Scott, frontman of AC/DC  to literature legends like Oscar Wild.Press play now and join us as we discuss the fun and wacky world of Gravesite tourism.EnjoyLove you, bye!Join Not Another Travel Podcast On Social MediaFacebook: facebook.com/groups/notanothertravelpodcastInstagram: instagram.com/notanothertravelpodcastpodcastTwitter: twitter.com/travel_podcastYoutube: youtube.com/NotAnotherTravelPodcastPinterest: pin.it/NotAnotherTravelPodcastLinked in: linkedin.com/in/alan-macleod-tour-guide-and-podcasterOR send us an email: notanothertravelpodcast@gmail.com 

As a tour guide who has worked on four different continents, Alan has seen a thing or two in his time. From Europe to Australia, Japan to Canada, tour guiding is never the same especially in all four corners of the globe.

Why don't we travel more and work less?The more you work, the more you have to spend on travel BUT the more you work the less time to travel... a bit of a catch 22 isn't it! What if there was a way to travel and get paid for it, problem solved!!!! While the majority of us work all year to pay for an annual trip that is often led by a tour guide, these tour guides are getting paid to do and enjoy the exact same adventure. When your few weeks travel comes to an end, and you board your flight back to 11 months of 9 to 5, these lucky bastards are picking up a new group of thrill-seekers and are setting off to do it all again, all while getting bank notifications that their weekly wage has just been paid.But How much work is really involved? What are the perks? Is it really just travel and parties? Do they sleep with all the guests?  What are the downsides to such a job? How well do they get paid?Press play now and learn what it's really like living the life of a tour guide. Love youBye!

What must he sacrifice for this lifestyle and how hard is he really working?
