Which ones are they? Do you have such a career? If so, describe how it is compatible with a travellers lifestyle.
nice choices - burger flipper / coffee pourer... or... stripper / spy!!
Life choices indeed.
Reply to this I have a friend who is a doctor. He was offered a job on a cruise ship which he accepted. He said, what they pay is only token but the cruise is free and he doesnt have to do much work because there is only so much one can do for sick people until they can be taken to a hospital.
He went on one cruise already and was offered another which he is considering. He worries about how taking this time out will effect his career but decided that the free luxury travelling he is getting to do is worth it.
Reply to this Don't forget singers..........i know of one who literally sang (and strummed) his way around europe. Since he was wary about getting bust for "working without a permit", he sang for free board and lodging. Those establishments who hired him got him for a song, eh?
Reply to this When I was in Kyrgyzstan, I met a woman who was taking 10 people around C. Asia. She had started a tour company and had contacts all over C. Asia. When I met her, she had 10 tourists in tow. They had stopped in the house I was staying at for a night.
Reply to this I did acting in Japan and archaeological digging for 8 years. I am married to a Japanese citizen though.You can use Japan as a base for acting but you should have other work to fill in the blanks. You also cant get a visa to do acting in most cases so you have to have a way in. From there you could work throughout asia acting and modeling.
The hardest thing is steady income.
Now we are back in the US in western mass. and hating it. I need travel! I have started writing as a hobby and plan to write my first book about being a foreign at home dad in Tokyo.
If you are willing to move to smaller towns in the country some will pay you to start a business especially if you have kids!
If you want to do farming, and have kids, you can try it out for 3 month. If you like it you can move there permanently! very cheap in the country side for housing. Sometimes free.
If you are British, Australian, or Canadian you can get a working holiday visa I believe.
Reply to this Computer related stuff is totally feasible, but I think often it's something you might want to get set up before you go. I've done plenty of client work while traveling, but all were clients I'd already secured in the US. Certainly you can find new work online or in another country, but that kind of thing requires networking, which requires time and knowledge of a place. That said, what barely pays your bills in Chicago might make you a very free/wealthy person on the other side of the globe, so it can totally work.
Reply to this I'm in IT and there is heaps you can do for 'projects'...so anything from 3 months to a year in one place. I did 'testing' in the UK for 6 months and was a Business Analyst for 2 years in the US on 2 different projects and on each coast... I think the processes and procedures you'd follow would be fairly transferrable whether it be a western english speaking county or india, singapore or hong kong etc.
Or of course there is retail and hospitality 😊 Everyone needs waiters!
Reply to this Hospitality/bartending or event managing could work.
Some places you'd need a certificate (like here in Australia you would need the Responsible Service of Alcohol or Gambling certificate) but they should be easy enough to pick up.
Reply to this Don't forget about nursing. Nursing pays well and is needed all around the world.
