To work while traveling is a dream for some people, and it’s easier than you might think if you are willing to make some changes. Being able to explore the globe is a privilege that not everyone has, and you can even do some good while indulging your passion.

So where do you begin? From taking advantage of freelance positions to looking for job roles that actually require remote work candidates, here are some handy suggestions to help get you started.

Sign Up for Remote Work Platforms

As a professional, you can turn your expertise into a flexible lifestyle while you travel the world. Even if you have gone down the academic path, you can earn money while being location independent. Online platforms such as Classful offer unique and intuitive ways to stay in the education profession remotely. Whether you want to engage with yoga or teach political science, online platforms for teaching allow you to do just that, all while satisfying your globe-trotting!

Craft Freelance Work While Traveling

According to Famewall, there are over 18 million users on Upwork alone. There is a lot of competition. However, you can establish a name for yourself by using freelancing. You don’t have to use a platform like Fiverr, but freelance work lends itself well to being a digital nomad:

• You can easily predict how much travel will cost and how much you need to work.
• There is the potential to use multiple income streams to fund your travel expenses.
• You can also craft content, such as courses, to make passive and steady income.

Move Around for Seasonal Roles

There’s always some action somewhere, and seasonal roles can be a savvy way to get paid while exploring exotic or stunning locations. For instance, ski resorts are always looking for enthusiastic staff for the hospitality needs of guests or skilled employees who can assist with cold-climate activities. On the flip side, there are usually tons of seasonal jobs available in and around resorts at popular vacation destinations from spring into fall to help with holidaymakers.

Fund Your Travel with a Blog

Blogging isn’t as easy as people think and requires a lot of dedication. However, it can be a relatively steady income stream when you get it right, which is why it is a go-to choice for many digital nomads. A blog can engage multiple income streams and provide passive income through content creation and marketing. Examples of income from blogging include Google Ads, affiliate marketing, and crafting sponsored posts. However, you will need to master SEO, too! 

Find a Good Fit for Work While Traveling

There are an estimated 500 million digital nomads, and many more people who explore the world as part of their jobs. Therefore, you can make a good living and build a career when planning for your future when you work while traveling in various roles and jobs globally. 

Target roles that require travel

There are, of course, jobs that require you to travel. Great examples include airline cabin crew and even long-distance courier jobs. However, you can even land a travel role as an au pair.

Embrace popular digital nomad jobs

Maybe you want more freedom as a digital nomad. This can be an excellent way to work and explore on your own terms. ICT, content creation, and media editing are popular DN roles.

Become a part of the experience

There are many roles where you can become a part of the travel experience itself. While specialist skills may be involved, such as piloting air and sea vehicles, there are other roles too.

There are tons of jobs that can be done remotely, but experience while traveling can be very rewarding. Industries that require travel as part of the job often pay well and allow you to see things that most people never do. All it takes is the courage to take that step into the unknown.

Explore Roles on Cruise Ships

Further to sea vehicles, how about cruise ship work?

Consider an eCommerce Store

Running a business no longer has to be hands-on! With eCommerce, it is possible to operate a successful company without leaving your armchair! Online stores are pretty profitable these days as more and more people turn to web-based retail for the things they need. eBay, Amazon, and Etsy are excellent platforms for selling your wares. However, you can also combine blogging, marketing, and SEO skills for an online dropshipping store within a given niche.

Find Remote Positions to Work While Traveling

Despite the groanings of old and out-of-touch CEOs, remote work is a vital part of the modern workplace economy. You can also elevate and enhance productivity and job satisfaction by working remotely, and there are some roles that suit the hybrid or remote work paradigm well:

• Recruiters in tech, digital marketing, and data analysis often offer remote work roles.
• You can also become a virtual assistant to aid busy execs while traveling the world.
• Data entry might not be for everyone, but it almost always offers remote positions.

Work Exchange and Volunteering

Perhaps not entirely the best way to make money, you can still work and travel as a volunteer or through work exchange programs. However, when you use services that specialize in these, you have minimal costs. For example, with services such as Workaway, you get paid in free accommodation. This means you can stay at various interesting places all over the world, and explore as much or as little as you like, depending on what you can reasonably afford. 

Summary

Signing up for remote jobs is a popular way to work while traveling the world with minimal restrictions and ultimate freedom. Of course, there are also jobs that fit well and even require travel as part of your role, such as working on a ship, plane, or even as an au pair. However, if you just want the chance to visit interesting places and meet new people, work exchange and volunteer programs offer the chance to see the world, even if the earning potential is minimal.
