    Bourdain was a nobody outside of NY before his book came out in 2000. All the travel on the book tour and what came after it was what lead to his divorce. The drugs and all the wild partying he talks about in the book were back in the 80s. His new wife and kid are with him on many of his travels and I guarantee his schedule is much lighter now.

    The guy has life by the balls. Yes I am jelly.

    does anyone remember "insomniac" with dave attell? basically he would just hit up bars and they would film him getting hammered. not too bad but maybe i was just young and impressionable.

    I think that most glamorous jobs have a lot of negatives. I guess it's what one prefers...money, fame, the best of everything or if you prefer an average life with stability. I know that there are athletes and actors and such who have found a happy (healthy) medium but I can't fathom it's the norm.

    Voice actor (whatever its called). Get paid good money to go in for a couple days and do voices for cartoons and animated movies. That would be my dream job.

    Bourdain had a record collection that was valuable enough to sell for drugs.

    I spend 10-12 nights a month in Hotels. When I was single I worked for a company and we would travel all over SoCal living in hotels 9 months a year and I thought that was the best. Now married with kids, not so much fun. I'm lucky I have a strong wife, mother for my kids.

    You are getting payed to travel to amazing places and eat great food and drink delicious drinks on TV.
    This was Inspired by Anthony Bourdains show.

    What you think OT?
    Do you have your own dream job?

    My ex was a photojournalist for a newspaper. When there were no stories her job was to go to local businesses and write a small story to give them free publicity in the hopes that they would then want to buy ad space. We abused the shit outta this. I mean, we never paid to eat anywhere. If we were hungry we would call up some nice ass restaurant and say we were with the paper and want to do a small story on them and we would show up and everything was free. Take a few pictures, I would do a little write up, it was fucking awesome. She also had a little key that you put in the parking meter for free parking all over town and great tits and was fun in bed.

    So yeah, I kinda know what it is like to be like those guys that get to go taste menus and shit and it was awesome.

    I would tell the OP to get into journalism and try to land a gig like that but journalism is dead/dying.

    Professional Surfer, like a Kelly Slater. Travel to the nicest beaches in the world and all you wear is board shorts, make millions and have a couple beers after youre done looking at a badass sunset.
