Pls advise: Jobs for travel junkies

I recently admitted to myself that I am a true travel junkie, addicted to living out of a suitcase, feeling most at home in airport lounges and hotelrooms all over the world. With that thought I realize I may be in the wrong job, as it only gets me about 50,000 of Y-class miles a year, spending all my FF miles on upgrades that I don't always get.

So I am brainstorming about the kind of jobs that would get me in the air more often, preferably in C and the occasional F. So far I have been in IC and management jobs in the IT financing industry, working for US companies from Europe.

I am a 36-year old business MSc/BBA with 12 years in IT, leasing/financing, business process management and BPO. Speak 5 langauges. I want to work from a European (NL) base and travel globally for about 50% of my time.

By the way: I do have a life, happily married and two great kids that I want to spend as much time as possible with during the other 50%.

So, any ideas, suggestions, offers? Should I just bite the bullet and start my own worldwide consulting office? I am really wondering what type of jobs get you guys and girls into the air so often...

Appreciate your thoughts and experiences.
