10 jobs you can do while traveling the world

Travelling the world is an experience unlike any other. However, two things might be standing in your way - time and money.
Well, here are ten jobs that won’t get in the way of your world-travelling dreams.

1. Translator

If you don’t necessarily have the skills acquired to do some of the jobs on this list, but you do speak one or more languages, the opportunities afforded to you are endless. Speaking different languages can become a great source of income. From translating to teaching English, being fluent in French, German and Spanish is an excellent way to see the world and get paid.

2. Travel blogging

Making a living from blogging is a lot more attainable than you might think. All it takes is a lot of dedication and hard work and within a year, you could be making an income that will allow you to live. You may have to pick up an odd job or two but travelling and writing about your experiences is a brilliant way to mix money making and adventure.

3. Flight attendant

One of the most obvious occupations on the list, being a flight attendant isn’t as easy as some people like to think. However, if you are a people person and are prepared for some crazy hours as well as being able to fly around the world for free, this is the job for you.

4. Bartending

Bartending might not be the most glamorous job in the world, but if you have the skills, it will pay your bills! And remember, virtually every country in the world has a bar that needs tending, so finding a destination or a job vacancy, is never a problem.

5. Au Pair/Nanny

Being an Au Pair or a Nanny does have age, and sometimes gender

limitations, but it is one of the best ways to get around the world with a guaranteed roof over your head and money in your pocket. Just remember to do your research so you are not stuck indoors every day!

6. Teaching

As mentioned above teaching English to foreign language students is an excellent way to travel the world and earn money but don’t let that limit you. Whether you can teach maths, piano or even surfing, you are needed overseas, so look into teaching and tutoring.

7. Roadie

Musicians and bands travel the world playing their songs to their adoring fans, and said musicians need help along the way. If you have an interest in music and travel, being a roadie is the most rewarding occupation that you can have.

8. Freelancer

If you are a freelancer, you can pretty much do anything and travel at the same time. From web designing to photography being a freelancer gives you the freedom, and the money, to see the world.

9. Tour Guide

Being able to speak multiple languages is a plus when it comes to being a tour guide, but not a necessity. So, if you don’t mind a little repetition and you’re good with people, this could be the perfect job for you.

10. Busking/ Street performer

Another occupation that is neither easy nor glamorous; busking is tough work, but it does afford you a lot of opportunities. You might only have money for a bed and a meal, but you do get to see the world and do what you love while you’re at it.

After reading this article you shouldn’t be on the fence about travelling the world anymore, the fact is there’s a lot of opportunities out there, you just have to find them.
