If you are a consultant based somewhere with short missions in foreign countries, you won't enjoy your trips, as people who passed through your bar probably have told you.
You will simply work a lot as your boss doesn't want you to waste company monies for you frolicking around. I know because I did it for a while.
The worst deal being the "half time" : 2 weeks in the country, 2 weeks back home. You waste half your weekends in the airport and don't get to set up a routine where you can meet people or anything. You'll get stuck in hotels and won't be able to do the usual social stuff like inviting people for dinner at home and shit like that.
I saw many airports during my time there and the occasional tourist trap, but had very little nice memories and experiences.

What I'd recommend is that you'd find a job as an expat somewhere. Then, from where you live, you can take quick trips/flights to neighbouring countries. It gives you a lot more opportunities for travels to places you previously didn't have easy acess too, as well as giving you a lot of time to go in depth of the culture/people of the country you live in.
It may not be as fast paced as you'd like, since expat contracts lasts 2/3 years and you don't really get to pick your destination but I think it's a pretty fair deal. That's what I do now.
It can any kind of job. The person I met with the sweetest deal was a French girl working as a hair dresser for a large hair dressing chain. Lots of free time and decent money.
You can also apply as an immigrant in the country and start from there, but it's not as easy/convenient as having the expat status.

Another option is to find a skill that sells well. I met an Italian pizzaiolo recently. This motherfucker had lived in something like 18 cities in 6 years. What he'd do basically was to pick a city, go there, find an Italian restaurant on trip advisor and apply for a job. Since restaurants always needs good staff and he makes great pizza, he would work there for a few weeks to replenish the wallet and then travel around for a couple of weeks before moving to the next city/region.

BTW, the French girl I mentioned had worked from Cape Town to Shanghai to Miami for the same French company, all as a hair dresser. Some jobs are just surprising like that.

I thought about doing something similar with the bartending gig, I have enough experience to get accepted at most places if they don't care about the language barrier. I can do it for a while but it's a dead end job, one day I will be too old for it and too old to start something "serious". That said this is probably my go to plan, maybe I'll even find a place I like and try to stay there. Another I am considering is really trying the flight attendant thing, even if for a short while.
Many thanks for the input, a lot of food for thought.

Flight attendant is more complicated as you need training and certifications of some sorts. You are also a lot less free. But it can lead to an actual job afterwards.

Bartending sounds good. Irish pubs are the ultimate globalized commodity, you'll find them anywhere and it's not mandatory to speak the local language. You mostly need to be white and obviously native English speaker. Being Irish is a plus, obviously.

As you said, doing it for a while is OK, but beyond 28, it's getting difficult to redirect to an actual carreer indeed.

I wish you luck, enjoy your travels OP.

I'm currently working in IT datacenter work.
only 23 and my company has send me for two months to SEA. If you become experienced with building up infrastructure/network equipment. International companies will send you around the world to set up their spots.

You could even start working as a contractor.

Also this, met alot of expats working all over the world. My suggestion would be to pick a job that is international everywhere the same.
