In response to BrooklynMouse’s Grand Canyon Suite videos, I am responding with the Original Soundtrack to the Oscar-Winning live-action short subject film, THE GRAND CANYON. Performed by the Graunke Symphonie Orchester, conducted by Frederick Stark. The gatefold package features an 11-page book with full color photographs of the Grand Canyon.

Iv’e always loved travelling, and it has always been a dream to travel round the world. You see things on tv like Kat & alfie on eastenders go off with £10 to "travel the world" but in reality, Whats a typical trip like?
How many places would you actually go and how much does it cost? Do people stay in hostels? Isn’t it dangerous? Where would you go once you get there?

Thanks, Any tips or previous experience appriciated!

Have no fear, and you will experience great joys, or your fear will limit you.

Hostels are not dangerous. Look for the hostels in the International Hostel association (if memory serves correctly). The sign is a white circle with a blue triangle, and inside the triangle is a a symbol of a man, a house and a tree. With this symbol they belong to the International association and must keep up with certain standards and practicies.

You’re going to need A LOT more than just 10 UK pounds. Don’t let some TV show fool you. How do you think the camera crew eats? The show pays for it, and the stars of the show as well.

Understand that if you’re going, you’re going to have to backpack (rocksack) it going the hostel route, or going the affluent hotel route, which I don’t think you have enough money to do that, or you wouldn’t be asking here.

There are two ways to travel around the world with little or no money:

1. Work, work, work- save up as much money as you can, then go travel with pleasure. How much money you ask? Well figure out your average daily expenses. (See below)

2. Work as you go. Get under the table restaurant jobs (or any job, this especially applies to Italy) where you won’t have to report your income. This can be helping out in a bar, serving drinks, and keeping the tips unreported.

Daily expenses:
20 pounds for food per day
10-20 pounds per day for one night of lodging (hostel)
20 pounds for bus/trane/flight per day (probably more, look for a Eurorail pass to help ease this pain).
20 pounds of souvenirs/gifts/tea/coffee/film/batteries/tours/etc.

*Note- Better to over estimate then underestimate and run out of dough in the middle of Bangalore, India

Good Luck!

There are not many places left where steam driven trains still operate, the KVR (Kettle Valley Railway) is one of the last in BC. Operating in the summer months the KVR gives people a glimpse of the not to distant past. Being born in Hungary as a child I remember riding on coal powered steam driven trains. The sounds, smoke and soot are all fantastic memories of time spent with my grandmother traveling to nearby towns.

Travel nursing is nursing that allows a nurse to work for a few months in one hospital before moving on to another hospital that is in a different part of the country. Hospitals and medical facility’s use travel nurses because they feel that they can benefit from the travel nurses expertise, to help get a new facility up and running, and to act as a mentor for a novice staff. But why would anybody become a travel nurse.

A huge reason nurses pursue travel nursing careers is the money. Travel nurses make significantly more money per hour then their contemporaries who work in just one hospital. Travel nurses do not get paid directly by the hospital they are working for. Typically the travel nursing agency collects and hands out the travel nurses salary.

Travel nurses love traveling. Through their jobs they can not only visit different parts of the country they can actually live and work in various parts of the country. They get to see how medical services differ from one part of the country to the next.

Travel nurses know that if and when they meet a co-worker that they don’t get along with, they know that it isn’t a big deal. They will only have to deal with them for a few months and then they will be moving onto a different location.

Travel nurses make lots and lots of new friends all over the county.

The average travel nurse enjoys excellent medical and dental benefits. In most situations agencies that specialize in travel nurses offer these medical and dental benefits to lure travel nurses to their agency. Some nursing agencies also have 401K plans.

Working as a travel nurse is an excellent way to build a fantastic resume. The things a nurse learns during their experience as a travel nurse will go a long way to obtaining a successful job in a home hospital when the nurse is ready to cease their nomadic ways. The people you meet working as a travel nurse will be valuable references, before completing a work assignment make sure you keep a record of names and phone numbers that you can use as references when you are ready to find a permanent nursing position.

Some travel nursing agencies offer their nurses an additional way to make some extra money by offering a bonus each time the nurse makes a successful referral. Because the travel nurse is constantly working at hospitals and medical facility’s that are full of brand new nurses the opportunity to encourage referrals is endless. Some agency’s also offer their travel nurses a completion bonus when a job has been finished.

Some times friends who have gone through nursing school together decide that travel nursing is something they can do together. Working in tandem means that the travel nurse always see familiar face no matter where they go.

Some travel nurses enjoy the experience of working in various parts of the country they decide to further their traveling careers by offering to work at missionaries and hospitals all over the world.
