How to Find Work Abroad While you Travel

Travel Tips

Form house sitting to working on a farm - there are quite a few options to work or volunteer while traveling internationally.

Many people traveling on a budget decide to find work along the way. It's not always/usually for money, but for trade for food and lodging. I have personally done house/pet sitting in various places around the world, crewed on a yacht from Cabo San Lucas to San Diego, and WOOF'd in Australia. See House Sitting for Travel - A Beginner's Take.

Check out the links below to find jobs around the world house sitting, crew on a yacht, or working on a farm.

What is Budget Travel?

You'll hear many serious travelers talk about the difference between vacationing and travelling, exploring, wandering whatever you want to call it. In short, on a vacation, you are a tourist whereas a traveler strives to do as the locals do.
