Ways To Get Paid To Travel

Is one of your New Year’s resolutions to find a new job or to travel more? Why not combine the two and do both! There are numerous ways to work and get paid to travel at the same time.

Become A Flight Attendant
This is probably one of the most popular ways to work and get paid to travel. Flight attendants don’t have a typical 9-5 schedule, but they do get to go to some pretty awesome places. They tend to only work about 20 hours a week and make upwards of about $50,000 a year. Not too bad for a part time gig that allows you to see the world.

Teach
Many foreign countries need people to teach students English. A lot of these assignments are less than a year in length and once you are finished you can move on to a different country to teach new students. One of the great things about traveling this way is it gives you enough time at a location to really get to know a culture and the area you are living in. Salaries tend to only be around $40,000, but a lot of the time room and board is provided.

Work On A Cruise Ship
Working on a cruise ship is a great way to see a lot of places in a short amount of time. Sure, crew members do tend to work a lot for a little amount of pay, but all of their expenses are paid for. Not only that, but they will have a lot of fun in the process. There are also plenty of jobs to do on a cruise ship so if you have one you don’t like you can probably work your way up to an even better position like hosting organized activities or chaperoning on excursions.

Become A Photographer
If you love photography and traveling, then this would be a good job for you. Depending on what type of photographer you are you may have to pay to actually get to a location, but will make a lot of money from the clients who you are taking pictures for. Now if you choose to be a wedding photographer, you may actually get paid to travel if you tag along to take pictures for a destination wedding. You also can set your own rates so you can make as little or as much as you want as long as you have clients that are willing to pay you to take pictures for them.

Work As A Nanny Or Personal Assistant
Quite a few households don’t stay in one place for an extended period of time. Many of them travel to exotic destinations several times throughout the year for work or for fun. If you are employed in the household as a nanny or personal assistant, you can have all of your travel expenses paid for while getting a paycheck at the same time. Salaries will vary depending on the household and the tasks involved, but some of the best paid nannies and personal assistants make around $100,000 a year and don’t have to pay for travel expenses or room and board.

If you don’t think you can afford to travel, think again. There are many different types of jobs that allow you to work and travel. Think of it as the best of both worlds!
