Travel Jobs & How to Make Money While You Travel

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 –… Read the rest

Are Discount Travel Web Sites Really the Best Deal?

Are Discount Travel Web Sites Really the Best Deal?

 

The Internet gives you easy access to so much information that you can become overloaded. When traveling this is definitely the case. Friends and fellow travelers tell you to book your trip on line yourself – you’ll save hundreds of dollars. But is that really the case? Will you be able to access the best and lowest deals? Isn’t it quicker and cheaper to do it all yourself? Maybe – maybe not.

 

Beware the discount web site. Don’t book on the first deal you see. It may claim to be the lowest fare, but you won’t know until you look around and surfing the web for the best price may take quite a while and time is money.

 

Research of web sites stating they will give you best deal shows up many times as an incorrect claim. Many big travel web sites pay homage to their sponsors and advertisers, by showing their ‘deals’ only. In the airline industry, a number of small carriers are ignored and they may well offer the best deal for you, but you won’t know if their information isn’t displayed.

 

Prices of air flights differ wildly on the Internet. Try it and see. Go to a number of travel sites and look for fares to Sydney, Australia. See what you get. And this is what you need to do when booking your travel through the web.… Read the rest

The Best Way to Travel on a Budget

The Best Way to Travel on a Budget

 

Well you won’t be traveling to Monaco and staying at a five star resort on a budget, will you? Maybe so!  Mostly, traveling on a budget means finding the cheapest price for the experience you want.

 

When traveling on a budget it’s best to keep in mind the following points:

1. Travel in the off-peak seasons. You can save up to as much as fifty per cent off air flights and accommodation costs if you plan to travel in low season times.

2. Stay away from popular tourist spots (unless they are on your ‘must-see’ list). If you can go off the beaten track with your destinations, things can be cheaper to see and do and your cultural experiences will be richer.

3. Try camping. Not only is it the cheapest form of accommodation it’s a great way to get up close and personal to nature. It’s the best way to see National Parks and Heritage listed areas. 

4. Look for special travel offers (or packages). But make sure you check everything that they include – and don’t include.

5. Invest in a travel pass where you are able. Most developed countries have a rail or bus transport system where you can obtain day, week or monthly passes that will get you around cheaply.

6. Get a work permit if you aim to gain employment while traveling overseas. Working can help… Read the rest

RV Checklist Dos and Don’ts

By admin on Friday, July 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Have you recently decided that you would like to take trip in an RV? If you have, you likely have a number of tasks that you need to get stared with completing. One of those tasks involves packing for your trip. To reduce the number of complications that you run into, you are urged to create a traveling by RV checklist for yourself. When doing so, however, there are a number of dos and don’ts that you will want to keep in mind.

As previously stated, you do want to create a traveling by RV checklist for yourself. This can do wonders for improving your trip. An otherwise good trip can be ruined when you don’t have everything that you need, like a swimsuit or a raincoat.

Do create a checklist well in advance of your trip. Waiting until a day or two before your RV trip can result in you rushing a checklist. This may also result in you forgetting important wants and needs. With that being said, even if you are planning a last minute RV trip, like one where you may leave the next day, a checklist is still advised.

Don’t rely too heavily on free printable checklists. Free camping and traveling checklists are easy to find online with a standard internet search. Although they can be helpful, you will find that most are generalized lists. They will not list all of the items that you will want or need to bring with you on your next… Read the rest
