If you have a love of travel and want to do that some more this year, then you might be making plans already. But one thing that can put people off is money. The feeling that you have to be ‘rich’ in order to travel. But the thing is, with a little preparation and planning, you can travel quite cheaply. You just need to know how to do it!
Taking time out of working can be a struggle for many too, and something that puts them off. I mean, if you’re not earning money then how can you be affording to eat, travel, and see the sights? Plus, you might have things like debts to pay or a mortgage to cover. So for starters, looking to reduce what your monthly repayments and bills are can be a really good idea. Looking for a credit fix solution to sort your finances could be wise so that you’re not having to worry about your finances when you’re away. While that is a good thing, you could also look to earn as you travel. Here are some of the best ways to see the world, and earn cash as you do it.
Vacation Rep
Many package vacations still have vacation reps that will live out in the destination country for six months at a time and be there for the guests. Some of the time you may do tours or airport pickups. But mainly, you are there to be a help for the guests and answer their questions. Basically providing customer service for them. But you get to enjoy luxurious resorts, as well as some great vacation spots at the same time. And you guessed it, you get paid to do so.
Freelance Work
Could you take what you do at the moment and do it freelance? Something like web or graphic design, social media management, copywriting, or data analytics could all be done when you’re on your travels. Plus, if you’re working freelance, you can work around what you have planned. So you can enjoy the best of both worlds, and not worry too much about spending money, as you’ll be earning some when you’re there too.
Au Pair
If you’re good with kids and have some experience in that, then becoming an au pair can be a good way to experience a new culture and hardly spend anything at all. Au pairs are usually live-in and you get your room and food provided for free. You get your evenings and weekends off, dependant on the family, and they will give you some pocket money to play with. So when pretty much all of your expenses are covered, why not try it for some time? You can even take the children with you as you see the sights.
This is a pretty short list of all of the options that are going to be available to you as you travel. Just think about what you enjoy, and you’re likely to find a job that you can do as you see the world but that pays you too.
