It's Possible To Travel And Make Money As You Go

By Maria Ross


If traveling is one of your passions, but your pocketbook limits your ability to indulge it, there are options available to you. You could always fore go all your favorite pleasures like eating out, picking up an iced latte every morning, buying designer clothing at closeout sales, and working overtime for extra cash. Eventually you might have enough cash to take one great trip. Instead, you can opt to travel and make money as you go.

If you are willing to teach, there are a lot of opportunities to work as a tutor or teacher of English. You can get information from websites that explain how the process works. This is not a way to get rich, but it will pay for many of your expenses while you are abroad. English is not the only subject that you can teach in a foreign country. You can look into the possibilities of becoming an instructor of Yoga, music, art, or dance classes.

For those with a talent for writing, there are lots of websites that will pay for travel articles. One of the beauties of this idea is that you don't have to stay in one spot like you would if you were teaching classes. You can write from wherever you are. You could also start a blog and write about your experiences, the people you encounter, and your reactions to the different cultures.

Travelers with a knack for sales can find jobs selling timeshares. This can be very lucrative if you are good at it. Companies like to hire individuals who can speak and relate well to their clients. They prefer to pair American tourists with American sales people for example.

Working in hotels, youth hostels, and bars are service industry jobs open to foreign travelers. You could also get a job waiting tables, or working as a tour guide, when you are familiar enough with the area. A lot of businesses are looking for industrious individuals who can speak English.

It can be easier to break into the entertainment industry in small countries than in the United States. Street musicians, models, and film students have found work in films and television by frequenting areas where directors and producers eat and drink. You have to concerned about the legitimacy of any offer made to you however.

Painters, sculptors, and potters have always been drawn to foreign countries. If you're a professional artist, you might find a clientele base in a country that values art and culture than the United States sometimes seems to do. You might have to take a part time job to underwrite your art, but many small business owners are open to supporting young people trying to establish themselves as credible artists.

If you are only going to consider the traditional ways of funding travel, you may miss out on a lot of opportunities. Travel lovers with limited financial resources have to be creative to see the world. Working your way around the globe is one way to do it.
