TRAVEL
Maybe you'd like to travel the world, instead of working remotely - believe it or not, you can (although most countries will require a bachelor's degree to do so and, if you're teaching a language, you'll probably need both a related degree AND a teaching certificate)! These places help you find placements around the world, so you can work and explore!
BeHere helps women who move around the world find places to live, gyms, co-working spaces and more.
Croissant App helps you to find co-working spaces in various parts of the world.

FREELANCING
If you're the type that likes to make projects and then sell them to companies who want to use them, or you like to do piecework (making things when you get an order, like a blueprint, drawing, app, etc.), you should look at these. Some are specialist sites while others, like Fiverr and Upwork, allow freelancers in most any field. * means the site has some sort of application/screening process.

- X-Team (IT) is not REALLY freelancing, because you work for them; it is specific to developers working on contracted jobs writing programs for other companies.
A Note about Job Sites
Aside from fraudulent job sites, some job sites do nothing more than recycle other sites's jobs, either by using an aggregation service which either shares job openings to multiple sites through a network (like Nexxt Network, formerly Beyond.com, which includes Monster, TechCareers, RetailGigs and 50+ other job sites), or by mining the data (scraping) from other websites without permission. Employers tend not to like websites that scrape their job openings.
