Traveling for life?

A few interesting articles here on people who travel (or will get to travel) for extended periods of time:

First, is a retired man who seems to cruise full-time always on Carnival. Now I haven't heard anything recently but a few years ago there were a lot of complaints about Carnival cruises. Still, you can have fun on a cruise and still find things to complain about as my recent review of the NCL Spirit proves (I had fun but also got hammered for complaining too much).

Still, I don't care if it's the best cruise line, the worst one, or somewhere in between - a cruise is still a cruise and while I would eventually want to spend longer stretches on land to really explore and get to know a place, I certainly see the attraction of cruising for a big chunk of time. Somehow this search turned up an old blog entry on misleading ads and the cruise industry - this is a topic I'd like to explore in more detail so maybe this will help me remind myself.

The second article talks about a travel job where you really travel (or blog). There are actually two jobs:

Tourism Queensland -- a six-month island caretaker job in the Whitsundays with a pay packet of $150,000 to sit on the beach and blog.

The company Mason Horvath is offering six months of luxury travel for two valued at $US500,000 ($A700,000) plus $US50,000 pay in return for promotional video blogs en route by the winner.
