Flight attendant

Flight attendants or cabin crew (also known asstewards/stewardesses, air hosts/hostesses, cabin attendants) are members of an aircrew employed by airlines primarily to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers aboard commercial flights, on selectbusiness jet aircraft and on some military aircraft.

Being a flight attendant offers many advantages over other careers, including that it is always interesting. However, the job is not without distinct drawbacks. In a sense, it's a matter of high risk/high reward, in that for all of the exciting perks that the career has, there are also concessions that you'll need to account for that other, more traditional professions don't have.
There are many good reasons to become a flight attendant. There are several reasons why we pursue this sometimes elusive career path.

In the beginning days of air travel, “stewardesses”, as they were called then, had to be registered nurses who swatted flies in the cabin, lifted mailbags and distributed gum and served passengers box lunches and water served in thermos jugs. Things have come a long way, however, as “passengers” are now referred to as “customers”; “stewardesses” are now called “flight attendants”, they bid their trips by computer, and flights that used to take 10 hours can now be navigated in 3. And now, there are some very good reasons for becoming a flight attendant.

·       Schedule

One of the advantages of being a flight attendant is the fact that the scenery is always changing. Your office is 35,000 feet above the ground, and you often get to visit new locales. Even if you fall into a routine of working the same flights, you still get to visit different cities, as opposed to trying to find a new way to the office to keep it exciting.

·       Discounts

Not only do flight attendants get to fly all over the world, they also get perks that allow them to get airfare discounts on their own personal time. Plus, they get free access to all sorts of refreshments while in flight. Free snacks may not seem like much, but considering how much regular passengers pay for food and coffee, it does add up.

·       Salary

You will probably never get rich being a flight attendant; monetarily rich, anyway. The average salary is in the $45K range; however, flight attendants flying lead, internationally, with seniority, have been known to make upwards of $90K. But you don’t do this just for the money you have to have a passion for it to make it as a flight attendant. Because being a flight attendant is just SO MUCH FUN!

As you can see, this is an exciting job, none other even remotely like it. By virtue of the fact that you are one of the few chosen out of hundreds enhances the job appeal, and nothing equals the feeling of walking through an airport terminal in your uniform, wings proudly displayed on your chest. If you want to pursue an outstanding career, become a flight attendant!

(Rio de Janeiro)

Brazil

(Rio de Janeiro)

            Rio de Janeiro is an iconic city,one of the most readily identifiable in the world, not least because of its fabled carnival. The grand dame of South America, it stretches out between rain forests and emerald half-mooned shaped bays with its two famous beaches, Copacabana and Ipanema, overlooked by the imposing Christ the Redeemer. It is a vibrant and youthful city fired by an inexhaustible energy that can be experienced on its beaches, its restaurants, and its nightlife

Rio’s landscape is extremely unique as dotted throughout the city centre are a host of mountains. The most famous of these are the Two Brothers overlooking Leblon and Ipanema, the Sugar Loaf which looms over Guanabara Bay, and Corcavado. The Guanabara Bay awed the first sailors who arrived in Rio de Janeiro, and the sparkling bay continues to awe visitors. There are 130 islands scattered throughout the bay, surrounded by rolling green hills, granite peaks, and golden beaches. We offer a Schooner Cruise through the Guanabara Bay for those on a tour in Rio de Janeiro.

Sugarloaf Mountain is one of Rio de Janeiro’s highlights, both literally and figuratively. At 396 meters (1,299 ft), this granite peak looms over the bay. Those who climb to the top via a cable car “bondinho,” gain panoramic views of all that makes Rio de Janeiro the “Marvelous City.” The cable car ride to Sugarloaf is included in all our Rio de Janeiro city tours.

Corcovado Mountain is another one of Rio de Janeiro’s indisputable must-sees. This mountain rises 710 meters (2,329 ft) in the Tijuca National Forest, located within the city. Atop this mountain is the 38-meter-tall (125 ft) Christ the Redeemer Statue known as “Cristo Redentor” — one of the icons of Rio de Janeiro. Climb to the top via the trenzinho railway, also included in our Rio de Janeiro city tours.

Tijuca National Forest encompasses 3200 hectares (7907 acres), all within the borders of the city. This massive urban forest of Atlantic Rainforest includes the Cascatinha Waterfall, the Pedra da Gavea, several vista points and picnic tables, and walking and hiking trails. We offer a 4×4 off-road adventure safari that takes you through the forest, stopping to see the flora and fauna along the way.

Rio is where you will find two of the world most famous beaches. The most noteworthy of the two is Copacabana, which is one of the most famous beaches in the world. And while no trip is complete without checking it out, you may prefer the other of the two beaches which is Ipanema, as here it isn’t as hectic and the waters are cleaner. And when you’re in Ipanema make sure to called into Garota de Ipanemaon the corner of Vinicius de Morais and Prudente de Morais as it is where the famous song ‘The Girl from Ipanema’ was written.

There are two great places to get away from the craziness of Rio de Janeiro:

·         Botanic Gardens: Covering over 130 hectares, they are extremely peaceful and home to over 6,000 types of plants and trees.

·         Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas: A stroll around this lake which borders many neighbourhoods is a great way to relax for a couple of hours.
