Money makes the world go round, as the old adage goes. But how about; make money while going around the world? That’s a saying – and journey – we’d love to get on board with. It’s a dream that many view as just that though; unachievable, unrealistic and far out of reach. It doesn’t have to be this way; with modern technology and communication shrinking the world until it fits in the palm of your hand, more and more millenials are earning while burning up the track. So, with this in mind, here are 4 IDEAL ways to make money while travelling.
BECOME WEB DEVELOPER
If you know how to code (or have the drive to learn), then web developing while on the move could be the answer to your itchy feet. Building websites for other people has never been easier with software and skills acquisition available at the touch of a button. Instead of developing the wwws inside a dingy office in Milton Keynes, why not do it poolside under a tropical sun, cocktail in hand?
TEACH ENGLISH
Lots of tourists who decide they never want to return to England turn to teaching English to fuel their holidaying habit. While it’s not as simple as rocking up to a school and doing your A,B,Cs, qualifications and teacher training are available to give you the confidence you need to stand up in front of a class and explain the past perfect continuous tense with vigour and aplomb. A CELTA course (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is the most reliable, accepted certification, and can be studied at home before you trip, or abroad during it.
BE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT
As long as you’re not afflicted by vertigo or aviophobia and between the heights of 4’11” and 6’4”, becoming a flight attendant could be your channel into the world of getting paid to travel. Training is typically paid and on-the-job, meaning your adventure could start moving almost as soon as you set that ball rolling. So, what are you waiting for?
RENT YOUR HOME ON AIR BNB
So you’ve decided to set off on an adventure with funds put aside for the trip and budgets carefully drawn up? You could prolong your travels, for as long as you please in some cases, by renting out the property you’ve left behind on airbnb. If you play your cards right and manage your finances carefully, the money earned from renting out your place could give you spending money for your holiday. Marvellous!
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF FREELANCING WEBSITES
Make the world your office by taking advantage of freelancing websites like upwork.com, freelancer.com, peopleperhour and fiverr. These platforms connect businesses and freelancers together from anywhere in the world. The businesses post all types of jobs from copywriting to editing and graphic design, then the freelancers compete for said job.
