Looking for a Side Hustle?
Want to quit your job and travel the world but are concerned about finances?
Ok the later applies to me, but this blog is for you!
Top two on my bucket list is to travel the world and live in another country for at least a year. Discovering ways to finance this journey has become much easier with the boom of digital nomads and social media platforms.
There are several avenues through which you can make money while on the go. They do not require you to be physically present
and can be conducted (*with good internet) from any location in the world. They include:
1. Save for your adventure
Fail to plan, Plan to Fail!
Fail to plan, Plan to Fail!
Creating a nice cushion account before embarking on your journey will allow time to get settled in your new location and to find alternative ways to generate income.
Saving as much as $500-1,000 per month will yield 6,000-12,000 for the year. By Joining Saving Money Challenge, you can save $500 in 30 days starting with just $1! The amount doesn't have to be huge, but a little put in each month would pile up to an appreciable sum over the long run.
2. Deferred interest credit
card
With proper disciple, credit cards can be a valuable tool while traveling. Not only can you earn travel reward points for free travel, you also can use Interest Free credit cards that provide deferred payments over an extended amount of time. You purchase items with your credit card during a specified period and hold off paying the interest that accrue. When you pay the balance before the time stipulated ends, the interest that had accumulated would be waived. Credit cards also provide insurance for things like rental cars, travel cancellations, delays, and other emergencies that might occur on the road.
- Bank Americard
This card is offering a 0% intro APR for 18 months, and a 0% fee on balance transfers made in the first 60 days.
3. Freelance Work
Monetize your skills! Open an account on the following freelance work sites and market your skills there:
Fiver
You can offer your services to customers worldwide and can work even while on the road.
4. Housesitting
What is Housesitting?The bulk of your expenses while traveling are accommodations! If you have a pet you would understand that taking them along could be quite a challenging and expensive. You can entrust your house and pet to a house sitter who takes care of the property and pet(s) in your absence while making use of your facilities. This will save you the cost of taking care of the pet on the journey.
Alternatively, you can become a house-sitter.
While traveling, you can decide to stay in a person's house, take care of their
facilities, and save cost of accommodation. For an annual membership fee you can join and have access to housesitting listings on sites such as:
