I invite you to discover some solutions to work while traveling through this article by my friend Anto Blog Scuba diving, a blog that I recommend if you also want to explore the seabed worldwide icon wink Some tips for work and earn money while traveling
Ah travel! The outdoors, encounters, beautiful landscapes and exotic cultures ... But to take advantage of that, as always, the name of the game is money. While there has two ways to do tricks in the world: with a big jackpot accumulated before traveling which one will care throughout the journey or working in the various countries visited. Because let's be honest, today, find a sponsor to fund his trip, it is rather rare.
With or without a work visa there are many ways to work in exchange for services or money. Examples of odd jobs that can allow you to make a few extra miles on the road:
Working in a backpacker hotel: In many places in the world backpackers hotels offer odd jobs to travelers without requiring visas. You'll probably have to do the housework, laundry, make the beds and keep the receipt. In other places you will need to promote the hotel on the way to the bus terminal or other terminals to provide newcomers to come with you. Most often you will be paid in free hosting, a tip and sometimes food. I have often met travelers who have settled some time in a city under these conditions and were paid. Do not expect big wages will often be at the same height as those of local ... Your advantage here is your ability to speak a foreign language and thus attract more tourists. Courtesy and sense of service will be good points. A little experience is a plus but generally, you learn everything on the job (Do not worry guys, one day my mother taught me to make my bed ...)
Bar / Restaurant: This is the work of backpackers par excellence. Working in a restaurant serving or washing dishes. In some places an experience close to nil will be required (No worries guys, one day I served turkey at Christmas ...). But in others, where there is a lot of tourists and backpackers looking for a job, you must stand by your experience. Speaking many languages is still an advantage. You will normally be fed, paid and will collect some tips. Again your salary should approach the national minimum ...

I discovered with my friend that it was some thing extremely useful as knowing haircut. Prepare a business card with a phone number if possible and tour the hostel to drop your card and you'll be sure to have several phone calls a week. Because you are not a salon, offer a few dollars below the local average price, this will allow you to put a little butter in your spinach. Generally a cut does not take much time and allows you to meet other travelers. You will of course need to be a real hairdresser to get started there. (Do not worry girls, one day I cut my doll's hair)
Blogger: So it will smile some, but blogger these days, it is a real business that will allow you to travel. I know a few people around the world who publish sponsored articles and earn're pretty plump. But be careful as you will read on several sites, all this is preparing in advance and it's not with a small overblog that you will succeed. Good design, original ideas, frequent articles and time spent on SEO you will get some contracts. (Do not worry, one day I turned 50 Like a Facebook status)
Freelance: A good drawer to talk about your skills term. You can be a freelancer in many sectors: programmer, freelance, etc. The trick is to get a contract in your area and have the opportunity to work and send your work from the internet. That's what my friend Maxime programmer: it takes two days a week to work in open office and make her work on time. You will need to first of all have a skill that is ready to play and especially to be very serious about your deadlines. For traveling we often forget what day of the week we are ... (No worries, I finish debugging your software during bus trip between Alice Springs and Cairns) ...
Dive Instructor: Finally you can enjoy the best (self-reported) job in the world. (Do not worry, one day I went snorkeling and I even drank the cup!) This is certainly the path I have chosen and which allows me to work now on the Great Barrier Reef after spending a year in the Caribbean ... If to become a diving instructor, the investment in time and therefore money, the return on investment is there. Wherever we find a piece of coral, you can be sure someone will mount a diveshop. He continued roll-over there in this profession that allows you to easily find a job. Pay attention to your CV and skills you have. The diving experience is measured in number of certifications, do not spend your PADI Instructor at a dive center if you can not get these valuable certifications behind ... Salaries are not windfall, hours are important and you must often make after sales service (meaning, out clubbing with your students ...) but the game is worth the candle.
This is of course not an exhaustive list but will give you an idea of what you can do to prolong his journey. Be careful though of scams which in some parts of the world are common.
