In the XXI century, you can go on a trip not only during summer holidays or long New Year's holidays. In the world there is everything possible for long trips. You can earn money along the way. This method is the most interesting and profitable. It guarantees a lot of positive impressions, acquaintances and funds to cover expenses.
Profession: Photographer
One of the most popular professions among travelers. You need a good camera, taste and desire to go to shoot beautiful landscapes at dawn and sunset. Yes, the photographer sometimes has to wake up early. Long trips allow you to see many beauties that vacationers and backpackers do not notice. Money can be obtained from photographs, which it is desirable to implement in different ways:
- Just print and sell. Why not? Take something beautiful in Russia in the winter, print 100 pieces where it is cheaper, and sell them from a makeshift tray in some relatively prosperous southern country: Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand. They are often bought by both locals and tourists.
- Upload pictures to photo stocks. There are websites on the Internet where they can be bought. Of course, the probability is not 100%. Before you publish something, it is worth talking to experienced photographers who earn in this way.
- Unique photographs along with texts are bought by the creators of tourist sites. You can also sell videos there.
Earnings in social networks
Travelers actively use Instagram and YouTube to earn income from photos, videos, tips, and reviews. Some hotels or restaurants will gladly pay a positive review from a famous traveler with many subscribers. Also, a celebrity can announce a fundraiser for some adventure, such as a trip to Afghanistan or Cameroon, and then thank active subscribers with gifts, postcards, and simply rare bills.
Rent your house
If a person is going on a long trip, and this obviously takes at least a year, then you can rent your apartment or house. There are plenty of people willing, especially if the city is large and the area is near the center or university. If you rent an apartment in a metropolis, then the amount received can travel the budget way to various inexpensive countries. These include: Bolivia, Tanzania, Morocco, Iran, most of Southeast Asia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia.
Remote work
Also a popular way. Thanks to the Internet, many types of work are now performed remotely. These include:
- Copywriter. You need to be able to write on a wide range of topics, have a decent level of literacy and a good syllable. The demand for copywriters is quite large. Especially with unique photo, video and text content.
- Editor or journalist. It's no secret that many advertising magazines need some interesting bait articles. If a traveler has settled for a long time in an unusual country like Tanzania, Madagascar, Bolivia or Myanmar, why not describe all aspects of her life? Everyday life of people, cuisine, language, and at least the lives of those citizens of these countries who know Russian or studied in Russia and the USSR.
- Website development, designer, programmer, designer, Internet marketer. All these types of work can also be performed remotely.
If you work hard every day, you can alternate. Three days of hard work, and then a couple of days of active sightseeing, new cities and places.
Teacher job
Earning a trip can provide a person with knowledge of Russian, English or some other popular language. Demand for English teachers is in China, Thailand, and Vietnam. And those who want to learn Russian are easy to find. Russian education in the world is quite appreciated, in a number of countries you can train programmers, engineers, designers.
Other types of earnings
In some countries, you can work illegally in a hostel in a tourist city like Malacca in Malaysia. Since guests do not need to be accommodated all the time, in their free time an employee will have a computer at their disposal, and you can perform remote work on it.
Also interesting is the work of a guide. Demand for Russian-speaking guides is decent in many countries, from Mexico and Thailand to Georgia. It is useful to know the local language and realities. A good example would be the Real Bangkok project. For a tour for several people, a guide can earn up to $ 100 per day.
In countries like Thailand, it’s quite possible to get a job as a designer or designer, as the locals deal with this worse than foreigners.
Those who have mastered some kind of musical instrument can "straighten", that is, play the guitar and, if the audience likes it, for a couple of hour-long concerts a day, it’s realistic to pay for themselves accommodation in a hostel and meals. Such countries are suitable for this type of earnings: Mongolia, South Korea, China, Thailand.
And finally, a traveler can carry some rarities from distant countries to his homeland, from coins and notes to decorative items. Collectors may be interested in them.
