International experiences are very valuable to have, because they give people a chance to learn about the world, and a good way to get those experiences is to work a job that has them. There are countless jobs in the world that provide international experience. Two of those jobs with international experiences that I would consider are travel writing for a magazine, and teaching English as a second language.
Being a travel writer would give me a chance to travel to many different places and see new things. I would get many separate experiences that could teach me about the importance of travel, and change the way I see travel. I think that traveling would be a good thing to do when I am younger, to get a chance to see the world and experience different things, before settling down.

Teaching would let me really immerse myself in one culture and be part of a community. I could learn how to function in a new setting and acquire a new language. Teaching is a good way to develop skills for immersing myself into a new community.
I think that I would benefit from both of these jobs and that they would change the way I live. I would have a different outlook on the world, due to the experiences that I would gather.
