Travel and get paid



 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 are  ideas that will help you Get paid while traveling : 

1. Teach English: Teaching English is a great way to immerse yourself in foreign culture, learn a new language, and travel on the weekends. In countries like the UAE or Korea, the pay is high and they will often time cover accommodations and flights, which is a great option which can help you to develop teaching skills amongst others. 

 

2. 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.

In addition, you can  always offer free tours 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 cooks.

 Now the pay may not be high, and the hours are long, but you get to travel to dozens of countries, and it's a good option if you come from a relatively lower wage economy.

 On the other hand , 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. 

 

5. 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 discounts across travel industry.


6.  Work for the government: Diplomatic types can apply for the foreign service, volunteers for the Peace Corps, and of course you can always join the military.

 Or if you've got a troubled past and in the market for an EU citizenship, you can always join the French Foreign Legion.

 7. Apply for a transfer: Most major cooperations 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.

8. Start a travel blog : Starting a travel blog can also help you to earn some income. Success by no means  is guaranteed, and it's probably going to take a long time.
