Want to make some extra money while on your international trip? Those vacation costs aren’t going to cover themselves, after all. While you’ll ideally have saved all the money you need in advance, there’s no rule stating that you can’t soften the blow to your bank account with some part-time employment. Here are some simple strategies for making money while you’re traveling abroad.

Get A Short-Term Job

Depending on the length of time you’ll be overseas, you might be able to get a short-term job to hold you over. One strategy is to find flexible, part-time shift work that you can easily balance with your trip. This is one of the preferred methods for students traveling abroad and is just as applicable for adults as well.

Popular short-term job options include sales, data entry, tutoring, construction, bartending, and the like. These jobs generally can often be performed with limited experience and a reduced investment of time compared to an intense full-time job.

If you’ve got the qualifications, you might even try your hand at becoming an Au Pair or Teaching English. These may require you to apply through an agency, pass a certification process or some background checks, but you gain the benefit of having something of a support structure while you’re abroad, and the extra level of security that comes with a job from a reputable agency.

Try Online Businesses

If you have a talent for design or writing, you can just take your normal work with you. The great thing about freelancing is that you can do it from anywhere, and working in another country could provide you with a spark of inspiration that you never had before.

Not only can you keep your regular roster of clients, you can also start documenting your time overseas on a personal blog, using the traffic you receive to help generate some extra funds at the same time.

If you’re a designer, you might advertise your services while you’re overseas and pick up some new clients too. It could be an excellent opportunity to build your brand and score some fresh business contacts that will stay with you long after your trip ends.

Even if you don’t have creative skills, you can still make money online. Selling goods on eBay or Craigslist is lucrative for those with the keen business mind to make a profit from such platforms. If you’re a newbie, you might try reading up on the best ways to use these services, or even try starting your own eCommerce site to hawk your wares.

Business minded folks might also explore buying and flipping websites. Much like you’d flip a piece of real estate, you can buy a site, fix it up, build the traffic, then sell it to someone else that wants to manage it. Or, if you’re an experienced web builder, you can craft a site from scratch and do the same thing.

Try Crowdfunding

Believe it or not, you can actually crowdfund a trip overseas. People are more generous than you may have assumed, and with the right pitch, plenty will donate to your cause. It might not cover all the money that you need for your travels, but it could certainly add a much need boost to your funds. If you need some assistance getting started, there are plenty of tutorials to get you acclimated with the idea and how to get it done the right way.
