MONEY<o:p></o:p>
How to Travel When You Have no Money<o:p></o:p>
Whenever
I ask readers what the number one thing holding them back from traveling is I
almost always get the same answer: Money. This is something I hear from
everyone I talk to: “Matt, I simply don’t have enough money to travel.”&nbsp;<a href="https://bposty.com/"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #5b9bd5; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, &quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">bposty.com</a><o:p></o:p>
This
problem — and how to overcome it — is my most asked question. Over the past 12
years, I have answered this question in a plethora of posts, emails, tweets,
and Facebook posts. Long-term readers might even be getting sick of me discussing
this subject because it is one I talk about so much.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
But
I know no matter how often I address this question, it will come up again.
Since this question comes up so often, I like to constantly remind people of
this fact: You do not need to be rich to travel. Let’s repeat that: You do not
need to be rich to travel.<o:p></o:p>
There
are plenty of ways to travel on a budget (and for free) — you just need to be
willing to get creative. Traveling the world with no money sounds like an
impossible dream. But it is possible, and you can do it responsibly without
breaking the bank. It should be said that there are some expenses you shouldn’t
compromise on (like travel insurance) but there are tons of ways you can travel
the world on a budget — including plenty of ways you can actually travel for
free.<o:p></o:p>

It’s about finding value and lowering your expenses while still being able to afford to do what you want.<o:p></o:p>Traveling for free entails taking advantage of free accommodation, transportation, and activities that are already out there, thereby reducing your cost to zero. Here, you sacrifice comfort and convenience to extend your travels as long as possible.<o:p></o:p>With the right budget and the right mindset, you can make your travel dreams a reality. Even if you don’t earn a lot or you have debt, there are still plenty of ways to go overseas (I still had debt when I went on my first trip around the world). They may not be fancy or luxurious, but if travel is your priority then you can definitely make it happen!<o:p></o:p>Ready to kick-start your budget travels and save money?

1. Get a Job Overseas<o:p></o:p>
Not
making enough money at your job? Or, even worse, are you working a job you
hate? Why not get a job overseas? There are plenty of opportunities in the
world as long as you aren’t picky. After all, this isn’t a career you are
starting — it’s just a way to earn money for travel.<o:p></o:p>
Here
are some popular (and easy to find) jobs you can get when you travel:<o:p></o:p>
Au
pair – An au pair is a live-in caregiver who helps a host family by looking
after their children and doing some basic housekeeping. In exchange, you get
free room and board and a small salary. This is a great route if you’re looking
to learn a new language or immerse yourself in a new culture. You can read this
post for more info on being an au pair.<o:p></o:p>
Bartender
– It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere, so if you have the skills then this is an
easy job to move overseas. It’s also an easy job to get under the table if you
decide to go that route. If you don’t have the skills to tend bar, consider
being a dishwasher or busser.<o:p></o:p>
Hostel
worker – Hostel workers rarely stick around for long, which means there is
always a demand for new help. It’s a great way to meet other travelers while
adjusting to a new location. You can usually also start off as a volunteer (in
exchange for a free room) to avoid visa complications. Three websites that can
help you find hostels to volunteer at are Worldpackers, Workaway, and HelpX.<o:p></o:p>
Waitress/waiter
– There are tons of seasonal restaurants around the world that need extra help
during the busy tourist months. If you have experience, this is an easy job to
find abroad.<o:p></o:p>
Farm
worker – While hardly glamorous, if you don’t mind the hard work this is a
great way to make a lot of money in a short period of time (as you won’t have
time to spend your money because you’ll be farming out in the middle of
nowhere!). This job is very popular in Australia and New Zealand.<o:p></o:p>
Dive
instructor – If you have your certification, this is an easy job to travel with
as dive instructors are needed everywhwere. Best of all, these jobs are usually
in picturesque tropical locations!<o:p></o:p>
Tour
guide – If you’ve got a knack for history and don’t mind speaking in front of
groups, this is the perfect job for you. It’s also usually a cash job, which
means you get your tips directly.<o:p></o:p>
Cruise
ship worker – This is a much more formal position than the ones above, but it’s
a great way to travel. The hours are long, but there’s something to be said
about living at sea!<o:p></o:p>
Casino
worker – While this might require some training, if you’re a night owl and
don’t mind the casino scene this is a fun job to work abroad.<o:p></o:p>
Seasonal
worker at ski resorts – Instructors, restaurant staff, hotel staff, lifeguards
— ski resorts need all sorts of staff to keep things moving, making this a
goldmine for the overseas traveler (as long as you don’t mind the snow!).&nbsp;<a href="https://earhtech.com/"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #5b9bd5; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, &quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 13.5pt; text-decoration-line: none;">earhtech.com</a><o:p></o:p>
Yacht
worker – While the hours can be long, you can make great money working for the
rich and famous on their yachts. Best of all, you’re usually in some pretty
amazing destinations!<o:p></o:p>
Yoga
instructor – If you have the skills (and certification), teaching yoga abroad
is an easy way to make some spending money. While you might need to know the
language, there are yoga studios in pretty much every city in the world.<o:p></o:p>
Working
overseas often gets discounted as an option because it seems hard to do. It’s
not. Just be open. These jobs don’t require advanced degrees or a lot of work
experience either.<o:p></o:p>
Are
you going to get a high-paying office job? No.<o:p></o:p>
Will
you get a shitty, low-wage job that will pay all your travel bills? Yep!<o:p></o:p>
I’ve
met people from all walks of life, both from Western and non-Western countries,
funding their travels this way. It’s an easy, fun way to lengthen your travels,
deepen your experience, and make a little money.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
2. Teach English Overseas<o:p></o:p>
One
of the best ways to make money for travel is to teach English overseas. You can
make a lot of money teaching — I replenished my travel funds while working in
Thailand, and I have had friends leave South Korea with tens of thousands of
dollars in the bank.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
All
you need is the ability to speak English fluently and a TEFL degree, depending
on the country you work in. The world is yearning for teachers, and this is a
job in high demand; many companies in Asia will even pay for your flight over.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
If
you have a college or university degree you’ll be able to make more money and
apply for better positions though it’s not necessary for many countries.<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
Additionally,
there are many websites and services out there that allow you to teach
virtually. As long as you have a great Wi-Fi connection, you can help people
learn English from anywhere in the world!<o:p></o:p>
&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>
Some
places you can teach online are:<o:p></o:p>

VIPKid<o:p></o:p>
Cambly<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;3. Do WWOOFing and Work on a Farm<o:p></o:p>
WWOOF
stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It’s a platform that
allows you to work on a farm in exchange for free room and board. It’s a great
way to see a destination in-depth while allowing you to commune with the great
outdoors. You have to pay to get to the farm, but once you are there,
everything else is covered! It definitely will help you travel cheap as well as
have a unique experience and meet lots of cool people.<o:p></o:p>
