1) Teaching
This is our route. I love working with children and decided primary teaching was the best route for my career. Once qualified, I used my degree and teaching qualification to get a job at an International School in Tianjin, China and now I am working in Bangkok, Thailand.
There are hundreds of international schools that are dotted all around the world. Contracts are generally 2 years so we can move from one country or even continent to another every 2 years. Plus, with teaching you get a lot of school holidays that give you the time to explore the nearby countries whilst the wage at international schools is fairly high and jobs often include accommodation or accommodation allowances; meaning you have more cash to explore.
This is definietly one of the ways to make money while traveling but you are restricted to traveling in the school holidays.

Haha, loved the matched betting idea. It’s quite creative. Of course, you could lose everything as well but still, it could be a bit of nail-biting fun. We also did WorkAway and saved heavily on rent and food while having amazing experiences integrating with local life.
Really want to thank you for sharing good tips to earn while travel. Bookmark your post.

I always thought of ways to earn while travelling to cover up my travelling and staying expenses. This blog seems to have come at a perfect timing. Never thought of so many ways of earning money while traveling. Though teaching is something I am not too interested in, photography, travel blogging and group tours sound best to earn quick money. Thanks for sharing this.
Such a long list useful for both travelers and anyone wishing to earn some bucks more. I’m more familiar with teaching and and freelance translating, but working on the flight as a traveler, I never knew that was probable. Even peace corps, I don’t know there’s monetary benefit to it. Thanks for the enlightenment.
These are some really awesome tips! I’ll definitely refer back to this list if my blogging fails. (Hope not tho! Haha)
