I am going to review ways to earn an income while also being able to enjoy the benefits of travel and exploring different parts of our planet. In this article, I am concentrating on non-online opportunities, but I will devote a separate post on reviewing ways to earn money online while traveling as well.
Here are a few ways to bring in some bucks while moving about. I am sure as you progress on your journey other ways will turn up that you cannot even conceive of now.
While I was traveling through Asia I ran into many people that were bringing in money from activities that I never thought of.

How To Make Money While Traveling The World — Follow Your Bliss
Coming out of our comfort zone and just going for it when we are inspired to take off and travel can be unnerving at times. But it is important to realize that there is never the perfect time to get started on your adventure.
This article will provide several ideas, but when you just make up your mind to do it, you will run into a lot of unexpected opportunities.
It just requires you to have a good attitude and expect things to work out well. Dealing with uncertainty may not be the most desirable thing to do, but that is where true adventure lies.
It’s okay to be apprehensive and have to deal with some fear, but once we emerge from our comfort zone we place ourselves in a position to experience some wonderful things.
Let’s Get Specific
Once we have decided we want to explore some parts of the world, we can then review the types of ways to make money that are available.
Now an online business is ideal as you can operate it anywhere in the world from your laptop or even smartphone, but today we are going to discuss offline choices.
1) One obvious way is teaching English in a foreign country. Actually, you do not even need to be certified. Check out this website for more information: eslcafe.com
2) Get a resort job. Resorts offer a number of different jobs from housekeeping, front desk to entertainment/activity type positions.
3) Work in a hostel. You can get free lodgings and save some money.
4) Sell timeshares – if you like sales any resort will hire you and there is good earning potential.
5) Fruit Picking – this is particularly popular in Australia
6) Acting in television and films (this is especially prevalent in India (Mumbai) and Kenya (Africa).
7) Holiday Visas – this allows you to stay in a country for one (1) year and in some cases apply for work in any area you desire. Some countries that offer this are France, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada.
