Jobs That Allow You to Travel the World

No need to be a pilot or stewardess to travel while working

Traveling and working do not have to be antagonistic. In fact, many people around the world have put technology and their skills on your side to work while traveling or traveling while working. Both options are very fun and have different advantages; let's look at some of them, as well as examples of these works.

First of all, we must distinguish that there are jobs that require a trip and this is already a great advantage because many of the expenses are paid by the company or institution. However, the disadvantage is that sometimes the free time of the obligations is very little, something that can be expedited if you research the essential places to know and take advantage of the routes or itineraries of the work trip.

Digital nomads

On the other hand, there are the so-called digital nomads, that is, those who have jobs that can be worked anywhere in the world using technology, such as computers, tablets, cell phones, cameras and, of course, the Internet and its many platforms.

From these works we can distinguish:
Services such as remote consulting, web development, network administration.
Graphic artist such as photography, illustration, graphic design.
Writer or blogger both for a personal site and for blogs, magazines, etc.
For this kind of work, there are different platforms to offer your services as freelancers such as Upwork, Guru or Fiverr. Also, platforms to sell your photos, illustrations or videos like Shutterstock or Adobe.

Another option is to sell products through different specialized sites such as Amazon, Etsy. Remember that not all the products you sell should be physical can also be eBooks, apps, games.

We must also distinguish between jobs that give you the opportunity to live in a country or place for a period of time during which you can study about the place, learn the language and practice, as well as other activities. Of these we can mention:

Cruises

Cruise ships usually have seats in various specialties. The big advantage is that many of them include lodging and meals, plus you can visit many places.

Wwoofer

It is a worldwide program where volunteers go to work on organic farms to learn about this topic, get to know the culture of other places and people interested in organic farming. The advantage is that accommodation and meals are covered by the host families and that the volunteers receive a small remuneration for their work. More information on the WWOO website.
Another possibility is to take advantage of Work and Travel style programs such as Working Holiday in Japan.

As you can see there are many options to fulfill your dream of being a world traveler or to change the idea that work is only done in the office and travel is just to rest from work.
