Traveling as an Engineer

I have a strong interest in traveling and civil engineering, is there a way to combine the two? I am afraid I won’t be able to travel much with the typical engineering job that allows for only 2 weeks of vacation, unless I end up living in the same city as most of my family and use the 2 weeks vacation entirely for travel.

I also want to do humanitarian work through engineering similar to that of Engineers Without Borders. Is there a non-traditional path for civil engineering(NOT USACE) that might fit my interests?
