What's up, guys? I am Yousafzai And this guide is about how to get paid to travel the world.
These days we travel the world but before we starting vlogging, we worked a number of different jobs to fund our travels.The key to long-term travel is finding jobs that will take you to new places, help you save cash, and let you travel in your free time.
Here ten ideas:
- Teach English
Teaching English is a great way to immerse yourself in a foreign culture, learn a new language, and travel on the weekends. In countries like UAE or KOREA, the pay is high and they'll often time cover accommodation and flights, which is a great option if you have student loans. In countries like Spain where we thought English for three years, the pay wasn't really high, buy it gave us plenty of free time to develop the skill we needed to start work.
2.Be a Tour Guide.
Working as a tour Guide is a great option, especially if you speak another language, or if you studied something relevant. You can find companies at home that operate abroad, but sometimes it's just best to show up and find a job on the spot. Plus, you can always offer a free tour and ask for tips.
3.Work on a cruise ship or yacht.
Modern cruise ships are enormous with over a 1000 crew, ranging from fitness instructors to crooks. Now the pays are not high, and the hours are long, but you get to travel to a dozen of countries, and it's a good option if you come from a relatively lower wage economy.On the other end of the spectrum, you could work on a private yacht, but this usually requires some sailing experience as well as a maritime safety certification.
4.Work remotely.
These days certain jobs can be done from anywhere, whether it's programming to graphic design or freelance writing and photography. Website like Fiverr can help you find work as a freelancer, or hire other freelancers to help you take your show on the road.The key is "Geo Arbitrage" earning money in a strong currency and spending it where lif's a little bit cheaper.think southeast Asia.A good resource to learn more is Timothy Ferris' The 4-Hour Workweek.Seriously read the book.
5.Get Airborne (Become a flight attendant).
For the young and single, becoming a flight attendant is an excellent option. Depending on your routes, you can visit multiple countries every month, and perks include free flights and discount across travel industry. Now for you, then just fall in love with a flight attendant or a pilot.Benefit extend to family member for life.
6.Au Pair.
There are plenty of websites that will match you with a host family in your country of choice, giving you a salary, visa, and accommodation.Plus, living with a host family is the best way to immerse yourself in a local culture.
7.Graduate School.
School is free in many European countries, and Scandinavia, the even pay you to go to school.Seriously, there are also scholarships that will fund you to do research abroad.
8.Work for the Government.
Diplomatic types can apply for the foreign service, volunteer for the peace corps, and of course, you can always join the military. Or if you've got a troubled past and the market for an EU citizenship, you can always join the French Foreign Legion.
9.Apply for a transfer.
Most major cooperation have offices overseas, often times in really cool countries with a lower cost of living. So instead of quitting your job, you could just outsource yourself. Apply for a transfer for 6 months to a year, and that could be even better than getting a raise or the corner office.
- Start a travel blog or vlog.
That's what we did. Success by no means is guaranteed, and its probably going to take a long time. But, if you do it in conjunction with some of these other jobs, it could become your main source of income in no time.In some time.
