Well, it is not that easy to pursue a career in travelling and not everyone can achieve it in the first go. Below are few things that I think one should possess to become a host in these international travel networks:
Good communication skills - verbal, kinesics & proxemics. Good vocabulary
An inward flowing passion to travel and experience 'never like before' adventures. Should be up-to-date on general knowledge - specifically the historical specifics of places etc. (Once you land on the job you might have fact checkers, but to land there you should do some homework)
Should have traveled many places atleast within the home country so that you can show yourself as one who is aware of the travel culture and someone who has the love to do it. Should be flexible with time, place and most important - MONEY (not all such jobs are well payed, at least in the initial days. ). Your perks will be free of cost travelling. Should have minimal / no personal commitments. This is the biggest barrier - many suppress their love for travelling or get stuck at this phase. I have seen/experienced travel plans being cancelled or postponed infinitely as buds. Overcome all these, keep exploring options and new places every now and then. If your luck is with you and you land in your dream job, do give me a call once :) Would love to hear the experience. All the best & Happy Travelling!
