Traveling around the world is everyone's dream. Many people bury the dream because of constrained costs.
Although there is a cheap traveling option by looking for transportation or accommodation from Airbnb and backpacker, the cost must still be unattainable to some people. But, there are several ways to travel around the world without spending a dime.
You can even travel to different countries and get paid. If you want to take advantage of opportunities, there is an easy way to get it.
Here are seven ways to get around the world and make money.
** 1. Teaching English language**
One of the easiest and most profitable ways to get around the world is to teach English in some countries in Asia, the Middle East and Latin America. Jobs in some countries are quite abundant and most, of them do not require you to speak the native language.
Even more profitable, if you have a certification of teaching English as a foreign language (TEFL) then you are a more desirable candidate. You can receive a salary of US $ 36,000 or equivalent to Rp468 million a year in Japan. Or US $ 45,000 is equivalent to Rp585 million in United Arab Emirates.
** 2. Become an Instagram influencer **
Being an influencer with a lot of followers on social media accounts can be one way you can travel for free and even earn money in the form of money.
Travel Courses Jack Morris and Lauren Bullencurrently parlay, which has more than 3 million Instagram followers, successfully traveled the world, and is paid a large salary.
Morris told Cosmopolitan last year that he ever earned US $ 9,000 or equivalent to Rp117 million for one upload on Instagram. While Bullen has received US $ 7,500 or equivalent Rp97, 5 million for one photo. Usually he and Bullen are paid to promote different brands and locations through their feed.
** 3. Working on a cruise ship **
Working on a cruise ship will send you to exotic places for free, but there are some important things to keep in mind. The job has long working hours, but you get comparable salaries and free travel.
Though exhausting, crewmembers still receive some fun facilities, such as dining rooms, shops, internet cafes, gyms, party areas, and even other organized activities, creating a fun culture.
** 4. Become a tour guide **
Guiding tours to some of the most iconic and historic places in the world sounds like a dream come true. It can give a lot of variety, depending on how you approach it.
Despite getting a travel tour and enjoying a new culture for free, unfortunately the financial of being a tour guide is not too stable. Considering generally a tour guide who lives in one location is likely to work freelance.
Some guides rely on tips from generous tourists. In contrast to those who work full-time at a tour company.
** 5. Become a blogger **
Being a professional travel blogger is a difficult thing. While traveling to every imaginable sight is a tantalizing part of work, it takes a lot of work to make it happen.
Most travel bloggers spend a year building their sites, by giving uploads to people before they can earn from their site.
Almost all travel bloggers start this by spending their savings just to build the site until advertisers come. But as you can imagine, this is a never-ending job. To make it all work, you should really love travel and blogging.
** 6. Go to WWOF'ing **
WWOOF, or Worldwide Opportunities for Organic Farming, is not a traditional business. You work as a volunteer for a period of time to work on a farm, in exchange for accommodation and food.
Even though you have to pay for your own flight ticket there, but while there, there will be plenty of people who can offer you a ride to your next destination.
WWOOF'ing is not the right career choice, but it is the best way to see the world stay thrifty.
** 7. Have a side job **
If you have a laptop, internet, and some skills, there's plenty you can take to earn money for traveling. Sites like Fiverr and Upwork are built to make it easier for freelancers to work anywhere, whenever they need it.
Sure, it's much easier if you have a track record and valuable skills, such as coding, graphic design, writing, translation, or editing.
