A Dubai-based expat who has been to 76 countries shares what it's like to travel the world for work
Johns, who is originally from Washington, DC, had been living in Thailand when he was approached for a job opportunity that would bring him to the United Arab Emirates.
The city's central location and his flexible job as a full-time freelance producer has enabled him to travel to some of the world's most breathtaking destinations. Johns has already been to 76 different destinations and is planning 10 trips for this year alone.
Last year, he and his girlfriend, Anne Mugnier, started documenting their travels on their blog "What Doesn't Suck?" The blog has opened up incredible travel opportunities for the duo, allowing them to see everywhere from Lebanon to Iceland.
We spoke to Johns to find out what it's like to have a career that allows you to travel the world.
