It's perfectly natural to want to run away and join the circus... except that, at least in the United States, there aren't really circusses anymore. I can't say it's something I fantasize about specifically, but I have a relative who manages to get by in Japan by officiating western-style weddings (among other things, but this is sort of his main gig). He happens to be tall, good-looking, charismatic, and blonde, all of which are advantages (esp. in Japan where all that is exotic), and of course he's picked up fluent Japanese and enjoys living in Japan. But I get the sense it's quite good pay for not a lot of time spent actually working. If living in Asia is your thing, I also get the sense that being an English teacher there (say, in China, or maybe Korea) is going to require an absolute minimum in terms of qualifications and allow you to get by quite well. Apparently you don't even need to know the local language particularly well. For me, I'd love to be in some beautiful area, near vineyards say (e.g. Australia/NZ, or South America, or . . . well there are plenty of beautiful spots like that) and have some sort of job that allows me to take money from rich tourists. Maybe running wine tours or something. Harvesting grapes is honest work but probably backbreaking and doesn't give you much time to travel around (and doesn't pay super well). Running a tasting room for a vineyard may be OK but it sort of anchors you to one spot all day, again less than ideal imo.
