Travel Jobs & How to Make Money While You Travel
Posted by business | travelling | Posted on March 3rd, 2010
Ever had the desire to quit your lame 9 to 5 job, tell your boss to shove it, pack up and start traveling the world?
All of us have had that desire at one point! The thing that stopped you was probably the same thing that stops most people: money.
“How will I pay for my flights, food, lodging, transportation, yada, yada, yada,” you asked yourself.
Don’t let these concerns bother you too much, because there is an underground, growing group of travelers who are utilizing some simple but hidden techniques to make significant incomes while traveling.
Here’s an overview of how we make money traveling and by landing travel jobs:
Underground Travel Income Method #1 – Traditional Travel Job - Hold a job that either a) pays for us to travel or b) is located in the place we wish to travel to. This is the lowest paying and most complicated method of all, but is the most commonplace.
Common jobs that pay for travels are for professional speakers, salespeople, package couriers, flight attendants, travel nurses/doctors, conservationists, cruise ship workers, etc.
Travel jobs located in the places we wish to go to can be any of the above, but also are specific to the location we travel to. There are some FUN jobs overseas that are looking for foreign workers!
Underground Travel Income Method #2 – Travel Writing – Travel writing jobs for magazines are more common than you may imagine. However, there are LOADS of other ways to write as you travel and make money, including blogging, picking up projects from sites like Elance and Guru, and writing travel guides, both online and offline.
Underground Travel Income Method #3 – Selling Affiliate Products – Using a simple website, you can drive online traffic to a product that will be of interest to your online followers. Don’t be intimidated by this! It can be as easy as using your very own Facebook or Myspace profile. Affiliate products typically pay 50% to 75%, so you can make a very healthy income for selling just a few objects.
Underground Travel Income Method #4 – Filming Your Adventures – If you’ve got the camera out and you’re taking pictures, why not switch it to ‘film’ mode and make money from it? You simply make a video of your destinations using iMovie or Windows Movie Maker, then use your videos to create a customer base!
Underground Travel Income Method #5 – Podcasting – If filming scares you off or intimidates you, you can make an iTunes podcast. It is easier than ever to get listed in iTunes and there’s a HUGE audience of podcast listeners. Simply talk about the places you visit two or three times a week and watch how your following grows… and how your bank account grows!
Underground Travel Income Method # 6 – Ebay – The common misconception about Ebay is that you have to sell a physical product to make money. Here’s the trick: You can set up a fulfillment house to ship your product (or hire your little sister or the neighborhood kid). All you have to do is create your Ebay post from an internet café and collect the money!
Take any one of these six ‘travel job’ methods, and there are hundreds of travelers all over the world making more money than they would at a regular ‘job…’ and they’re living it up at exotic, world-class destinations. Take your pick, and take action on the ideas here!

Sometimes it's not the job itself, but the company or organization in which you work.
Let me give you some examples. Say you're an accountant or personnel officer. You'd normally find a job in a local company, and little or no travel would be involved. But what if you took the same job with a multinational company, with plenty of branches overseas? I have a friend who works for Coca-Cola as an auditor, and travels all over Africa and Asia visiting plants. I have another friend who works for IKEA as a logistics manager and who also travels to inspect shops overseas.
By looking at everyday professions but transplanting them to international environments, opportunities can open up.
In addition to companies, you might consider working for a UN agency, or for a charity or non-governmental organization with plenty of overseas opportunities, like CARE or Habitat or other similar groups.
I wouldn't worry so much about the profession – though I'd make sure I did something for which there is decent demand. I'd then concentrate on the employer.

LOL, those jobs are very few and far between- I mean, who wouldnt want to get paid to be on vacation year round, right? You've got about as good a shot of getting one of those jobs as you do hitting the lottery. Instead, you would likely have to get a real job, where you travel somewhere and then dont see anything other than the inside of the office you are working in, the local resteraunts, and your hotel room. If you really want to do that, then a lot of Sales jobs, and a lot of management, IT, and consulting jobs require travel. Travel jobs are not real hard to find, if you have the education.
You could apply for a magazine article writer. If you try to apply for Conde Nast Traveler, they have many articles written by hand-on experiences. Good Luck!
How about a cruise director? Also, there's this awesome website called cooljobs.com. Check it out! A travel agent doesn't necessarily get to travel that much. They do a little after they've been in the business for awhile, but you're mostly chained to a desk and a headset.

flight engineer travel the most Air traffic control will help you the most when you get out those guys are 6 figures salary when they get out or can make

I took travel and tourism for my hospitality degree. It's not just travel agent, since those have sort of gone by the wayside with places like hotwire.com. You could be a concierge at a fancy hotel. You could work for a limousine company in tourist areas. You could even work with the city on tourism development to bring more tax money in. Take a lot of economics to go with it. Once you get a city job you're set for life.
