Blog session 2: My ideal job

My ideal job

I don´t know if you know Anthony Bourdain, or Andrew Zimmern. They are both chefs, but they don´t work in a kitchen cooking for other people, the only thing they do is eating! And they get paid for that! They travel around the world and eat all kind of things, from the most common plate, like pizza, to roasted insects or strange animal parts. That can sound auwfull but for me it is always exciting to try a new plate.


Well, my ideal job goes in that direction, because I like to travel a lot (whenever I have the chance I do it) and most of all I like very much to eat! I also like sociology (that´s why I study this career) so really, my ideal job would be something like what this two men do, but adding a study of the culture or the society I´m visiting.

I would say the three most important qualities or skills needed for a job like this are: love for food, sociable skills (you meet a lot of people when you travel) and to be brave (to try the plates that doesn´t look that good). You also need to know lenguages.

I definitely love food, and to socialize with other people and I like a lot to study lenguages, therefore I would be a good candidate for a job like this. But the hard part is that (I think) it´s awfully hard to find a job like this!
