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

By Maria Ross


Some people fantasize about traveling the world, but never put a plan in place because they think they can't afford it. They may save all year long, doing without their morning latte, eating in instead of dining out, and passing on year end close out sales, to have enough money for one great vacation. Others are more creative and have researched the best ways to travel and make money along the way.

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.

The service industry offers a lot of interesting opportunities, especially for the younger generation. If you know how to mix drinks, you could get a job in a local bar. Youth hostels need reliable help, and hotels often hire foreigners who can translate from their country's native language into English.

It might be a long shot, but if you have always dreamed of being discovered abroad and asked to play a part in a film or play, you should try frequenting areas where scouts are known to hang out. Movie star looks might get you an offer to try out for a part. This can be dangerous however, so you want to be very careful you aren't talking to someone who deals in human trafficking.

It seems that foreign countries place more importance on the value of art than the United States. That is one reason so many painters, designers, and sculptors opt to work there. Most of them take additional jobs to pay the rent, but don't mind if it means their art gets some recognition.

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.
