Some people cringe at the thought
of living out their lives in one place. Others are simply hit by wanderlust and
develop an insatiable urge to explore new landscapes and socio-cultural
terrains.
While this might indeed be a
reflection of self-inflicted pressure targeted at personal development through
experiencing the unknown and confronting unforeseen challenges, the exorbitant
cost of living such a lifestyle could undoubtedly be discouraging.
But what if you were tipped off
on some ways to get paid or earn a sustainable fortune while touring the world?
Well, here are nine ideas for achieving just that.
Blogger/Vlogger
Although it is not easy to earn a
sizeable income from blogging due to the amount of time and effort required,
starting (travel) blogs have severally proven to be a sustainable means for
funding such trips and even earning a lot more while having sheer fun.
One moment you could be hiking
through Singapore’s Changi Airport’s indoor forest, marveling at something so
natural, yet, contrived. Another moment you’re sucking at a cup of coffee while
busying yourself with your blog in a Brooklyn café. Who says living should be
so demanding anyway!
Work for an airline
Not only do airline employees
travel for free while they work. They also land free passes both for themselves
and for friends even when off duty. The discounted prices for hotel rooms and
car rentals coupled with flexible schedules and other mouth-watering
perquisites are also desirable.
Whether you’re working your way
towards becoming a professional pilot or you’ll prefer being a flight attendant
or part of a cabin crew, being an airline employee is sure a great way to
travel the world and get paid for it.
Language instructor
English as a Second Language
(ESL) are highly in demand in countries like Korea and China where indigenous
languages are highly valued but without underplaying the universal relevance of
English. You could acquire the requisite certifications and teach in these
countries.
If you’re proficient in other
highly-acclaimed languages as well, you could consider making the rounds
between countries beyond your geographical enclaves while complimenting that
with online tutoring.
Hospitality professional
Hospitality professionals,
whether working on a cruise ship; in an airplane; in a five-star restaurant; as
a tour guide; or in a hotel, generally travel a lot. You could leverage on this
to assuage your wanderlust.
Perhaps you feel you don’t have
experience related to management or didn’t study hospitality? You could
consider running a related program to broaden your horizon while being on a
paid job placement. In the end, you’re touring the world!
Be a digital nomad
Not only has the internet allowed
for easier access to information. It has also made it possible to work remotely
from any country of your choice depending on the nature of the job. It’s now
also easier to start your own remote business straight from your laptop.
Whether as a freelancer; virtual
assistant; marketer or researcher, being a digital nomad affords you the luxury
for funding your wanderlust while making a sustainable income from your
escapades.
Other Jobs
Asides the above listicle, you
could take a job requiring world travel, say, working for a resort development
agency or high-end housing sales. There are also lucrative opportunities in
import/export businesses and even journalism.
So long as these jobs get you out
of your comfort zone; rid you of homesickness and assuage your seemingly
insatiable urge to explore new auras, then you can grapple at them.
