While many travel jobs do not require any special skills, others need some level of specialisation or certification to do them. There are different types of jobs that you can do to make money while travelling, and they are readily available. When searching for a travel job, the most important factor to consider is flexibility. 

If you are planning your next travelling adventure, we have put together this list of jobs that you can do to make money while you are on the road.

Become a Local Tour Guide

If you are knowledgeable about the city you are travelling to, then you should consider becoming a local tour guide. This job will allow you to meet people from different parts of the world while making extra cash on the side. It is a dream job for anyone who loves to travel. While you can apply to become a tour guide at a local tour company, another option available to you is to launch your tourism startup. This job offers many benefits, and it is something that you can do for a lifetime in different countries.  

Travel Blogging

Travel blogging is quite common among people who love tourism and writing. If you already know how to write or blog, then you can use that skill to share your travel experience. It is the perfect travel job that you can build a career over time. However, it takes a little bit of time to become an established travel blogger. While you build your travel blog, you should consider working with a travel company or magazine where you can hone your travel blogging skills and have some experience. Once you are established, you can become a travel influencer who advertises travel companies on their social networks and blogs.  

Travel Photographer

Travel photography is similar to travel blogging in many ways since they both cover the same subject. Travel photographers are in high demand, especially with social networks such as Instagram and Pinterest, which are created for photography. Apart from taking personal photos of your travels, you turn this hobby into a real career. Now that smartphones are now fitted with high-pixel cameras and wide screens, doing the job of a travel photographer has become easier. With your mobile devices, you can take amazing photos and post them immediately with a caption. These photos can be sold online as prints or featured on travel magazines and websites who will pay you for your creativity.

Freelance Writer

You can write about any topic anywhere you are in the world. All you need to do is have great writing skills and you can churn out articles and essays from clients across the globe. Sign up on numerous freelance websites and you can start earning money from writing while travelling.

Voice over

Another fantastic option for people looking for a travel job is voiceovers. While this is a simple job to do, it is not for everyone. First, you need to have great voice acting skills. Secondly, you need recording and editing equipment. Thirdly, you need a website such as voquent.com where you can offer your voice acting skill to those who need it. One major advantage of this job is that you get to do other things that you love, like travelling.
