Who's ever worked as a Motorcycle tour guide. Pros and cons ?
No doubt there are thousands of people on this forum who have thought, "Hey, I could do this for a living".
But who actually has ?
I know a couple of professional guides who work for one of the best known companies. They enjoy it but also report that it's incredibly hard work and not a holiday one little bit. They always say "This is my last trip. I can't handle it anymore". Then they sign up for another.
I pondered this career many years ago in my youth but I told myself I wasn't patient or mature enough to put up with a group of whining rich tossers without the balls to do it alone. And with that attitude, I probably wasn't.
Now wiser and more balanced in middle age, financially secure and considering a career change, I'm thinking that maybe this could be the job for me.
I have a lot of travel experience. Hundreds of thousands of riding miles under my belt (on and off-road), I'm in the best physical shape of my life, I speak half decent Spanish and I'm a professional motorcycle tech with twenty years of experience with all ages and flavours of motorcycles.
Perfect candidate ? I think so
I know it's not going to make me rich. Or be a job to retire with. But it's something I think I want to try for a few years.
Any advice out there ?
