What jobs out there allow a person to travel and write about their travel experiences?

be like the crocodile hunter!

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.

Hi from France !

Perhaps you must create your own website ? Go on the forums too…

Yes, the Swiss type C residence permit waives the visa requirement to the other Schengen countries; same applies to a visa issued by Switzerland if it is a type C visa and it states valid for “Schengen States” in the first column.

Apply for a visa to the countries that you want to visit because the US Refugee travel document cannot be used on other countries.

No you can not travel to Europe with a US refugee travel document. You would have to have a passport. Just having a refugee document won’t be enough. No European country will accept this document.

Of course you can travel outside the US with your refugee travel document; that is what it is for! Not only the US, but all European countries issue documents just like this, and people use them in place of a passport to travel internationally.

You may, however, need to apply for a Schengen visa in order to enter Europe, depending on what is the country of your actual citizenship. Your visa needs will be based on your citizenship, not the nationality of your travel document. You must apply for the Schengen visa through the embassy or consulate of the first country you will enter, or the one where you will spend the most time.

It’s been a long time since I made this trip and obviously prices are not the same. If you buy a Eurail pass prior to leaving through a travel agent you will save a lot of money. You will be able to travel first class on the trains between Rome and Switzerland and will have cars that have fold down seats that turn into beds. Your plane will land in Rome but from there you will go to Venice and then have to double back through Rome. I recommend you go to Lucerne Switzerland. Here are two sidetrips to take: From Rome take the train to Pompeii to see the ruins. It’s a day trip. From Lucern take a day trip by train to Grendowald. Grendowald is a ski resort where their Olympic skiers train. It’s a quaint ski resort.I recommend youth hostels for accomodations. You will probably need to get three rooms. Thre rooms will be basic but clean. Most of these places offer a “continental breakfast” which is no more than hard rolls, stong coffee, and butter. Google backpacking through Europe. I used a book writen by a guy named Arthur Frohmer but he has since passed away. Feel free to contact me if I can help you further.

Well, the price from Rome to Venice seems high because it’s a long train journey, a good 4 hours if not more. Coming from Ireland, I thought the rates charged for second class travel to be incredibly good value. You might want to check you’re not looking at the First Class rate, that’s appreciably higher. You can

Train travel in Italy is also clean, comfortable and you’ll have terrific views of the countryside. And it shouldn’t be any problem getting a train into Switzerland.

I mean you could look into taking a bus, but you’ll be all day on it, and you might have to change.

Going to Venice from Rome (Roma Termini) will not be a problem. However, if the schedule does not change, you can take the train from Rome to Zurich but you have to change in Milan. The scenery is very beautiful when the train travels through the Alps, you must take a few pics of it.

Actually, train travel here in Italy is stillì relatively cheap compared to many other places. However, it does add up for a large group. There are a couple of things you might want to consider. One is to rent a car to drive – that won’t have a per person charge and you could rent the car just for the specific trip. Driving times and directions: http://www.viamichelin.com/

The night train from Rome to Venice is a good option for you: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepage_en.html . The train leaves from the Tiburtina station in Rome at 10:36 pm and arrives in Venice at 5:26 the next morning. Seats are cheaper than the high speed train and right now there’s a special promotion for 19 euro (limited number of seats). Rather than sitting, I would recommend getting berths which make it easier to sleep. The standard fare is 60.90 euro per person which is still a little less than the day train. However, if you buy tickets in advance, you can get the same berth for as low as 42.60 euro at the discounted rate for early purchase and the Autumn special promotion has some tickets for 29 euro. Note that with this train, you also do not have to pay for a hotel for the night.

From Venice to Switzerland, you can change trains in Milan to get to various points or there is one train that you can take to Geneva without changes.

It could take from 2-5 days. I’m not sure on the exact number, but I’m pretty sure it’s 3 or so.

I believe it is three there and three back
(more or less)

About 3 days between leaving an orbit around Earth and settling into an orbit around the moon.

After launch on Saturn V SA-504 on July 16, 1969 from pad 39A of Kennedy Space Center, Apollo 11 entered Earth orbit. After 1 1/2 Earth orbits, the S-IVB stage was re-ignited at 16:16:16 UT for a translunar injection burn of 5 minutes, 48 seconds putting the spacecraft on course for the moon. The CSM separated from the S-IVB stage containing the LM33 minutes later, turned around and docked with the LM at 16:56:03 UT. About an hour and 15 minutes later the S-IVB stage was injected into heliocentric orbit. During translunar coast a color TV transmission was made from Apollo 11 and on July 17 a 3-second mid-course correction burn of the main engine was performed. Lunar orbit insertion was achieved on July 19 at 17:21:50 UT by a retrograde firing of the main engine for 357.5 seconds while the spacecraft was behind the moon and out of contact with Earth. A later 17 second burn circularized the orbit. On July 20 Armstrong and Aldrin entered the LM for final checkout. At 18:11:53 the LM and CSM separated. After a visual inspection by Collins, the LM descent engine fired for 30 seconds at 19:08 UT, putting the craft into a descent orbit with a closest approach 14.5 km above the moon’s surface. At 20:05 the LM descent engine fired for 756.3 seconds and descent to the lunar surface began
