Simple and Creative Ways to Earn Money as You Travel

If you’re thinking about traveling long-term, one of the most important things you need to sort out is how you are going to finance your travels and stay afloat on your journeys. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the simplest, most creative ways to earn money as you travel, so let’s take a look at them now.

Freelances online

Thanks to the internet and the various tools that make it possible to work online from any location, one of the best ways to earn money while you travel in 2022 is by freelancing online.  Whether you have perfect PA skills, a way with words, or a great graphic design portfolio, if you have skills that other people require, you can make decent money online at your convenience from any location, which means you can travel far and wide and still work consistently throughout.

Teach activities

Another really good way of making money while you travel is getting certified in an activity that is popular with tourists such as scuba diving or rock climbing, That way, wherever you are, you can advertise yourself as an expert and start taking groups out. Alternatively, you could do something like this whitewater rescue course which will give you similar employment opportunities, but instead of taking tourists out for trips, you will be helping them should they get into any difficulties while they are off having fun.

Teach English

It’s amazing just how much demand there is for English language teachers all over the world. English is obviously one of the most commonly spoken languages so children, students, and business people, in particular, are always looking to improve their English speaking skills, and as a native, this could provide you with an excellent opportunity to make some money to fund the next leg of your trip.

Become a street performer

If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t mind the attention and you have a creative skill that you can put to use, from painting caricatures to juggling, then you could easily make enough money to pay for your food and accommodation in many places by hitting the tourist areas and doing your party piece. You’ll have to put a fair bit of time into it and you’ll need to hit up the most highly populated areas where people have money to spare, but it could be a lot of fun and you’ll probably get a few good travel stories out of it too. 

Sell photos

Selling photos is a great way to earn some extra cash if you are good at it. These days, even the most basic smartphone can take really good pictures which you can then sell on to tourists, stock photo sites, magazines, and so on. Just be aware that making money from this particular option might not be as much of a sure thing as some of the other ideas we have mentioned.

Making money while you travel as you can see, really is possible, so work out what you have to offer and start making yourself available right now.
