1. Become a travel writer.

Have you watched Discovery Channel or Nat geo? do you see these writers travel almost every episode, and it looks like they are having fun doing it. 

One of my favorite show Nat Geo is called "don't tell my mother" it is about a dude that travels to different countries that are dangerous just like Nigeria or Iraq. Although his job is dangerous, I really wanted to become like him, and I said to myself "Oh s*t! I would love to do that!"

Travel writers are exciting and challenging. Sometimes they become a mini-celebrities in their own right. If you are a passionate travel writer and got some good connections, then maybe you could have your very own travel show.

2. Become an English Teacher.

Demand on English teachers are high especially in countries like South Korea, Japan and China. In fact, working as an English teacher is usually the most common way for native-English speakers to travel through Japan and China. Not only is the pay good, but you also get to meet and interact with people from an entirely different culture.

Most English teachers are required with a Bachelors Degree in English or Education. Those with master's degree usually gets paid higher. 

3. Work on a cruise ship.

Because a cruise ship is like a floating city, they usually employs thousands of people from different professions like IT staff, service staff, musicians, managers, customer service, chefs, mechanics, sailors...the list goes on.

Jobs on cruise ships pay well and you get to travel to exotic destinations. The only downside is that you get to be surrounded by water in sun-kisssed beach islands all the time!

If you love adventure, action and working with other people, then maybe you should consider becoming a tour guide.  If there are certain destinations and activities that you are passionate and knowledgeable about, then becoming a tour guide can allow you to see and explore the world and get paid for it.

There are training schools you need to attend first to become a tour guide, you can contact your local government for more information. 

The most important traits a tour guide must have are people skills, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the area you want to lead tours in.

This job is usually for younger people ages 18-27. Becoming an au pair in a foreign country is a great way to travel, experience another culture, and learn a new language, all the while being paid to do so. 

Au Pairs usually move into a family’s home to take care of children and pitch in on the housework. In exchange, the au pair typically gets paid a small stipend, receives free room and board, and some form of education, usually language classes. It’s a great immersion program for young people and can be a great experience. Like travel nursing, there are a great amount of agencies assisting in the placement of au pairs, so make sure you do the necessary research.

8. Be a Peace Corps Volunteer.

Another way to travel the world, get paid and make a difference is by joining the peace corps. This is not easy, and this is not glamorous because you are a volunteer to make other peoples lives better.

It may not be fun, but it is fulfilling and will change your life. But before you decide joining the peace corps, think about it a hundred of times and answer this question to yourself, are you sure you have what it takes to make sacrifices and can you change the world?

9. Become a Digital Nomad.

Digital Nomad is being able to live and travel while still working is gaining major steam, so if you have any skills that can be done solely online, then think of ways to make that into a business.

 Many web designers, writers, artists, photographers, and consultants are making the move to a nomadic lifestyle because they can. If you can work with clients from developed countries throughout North American, Europe, and Australia/New Zealand, get paid in your home currency, but live and/or travel throughout developing countries and regions, then you can save a ton while still working and experiencing the world. 

 Becoming a digital nomad is the future. It allows you to do what you love, see the world, and actually make a living wage doing so.
