Pick a transferable skill

There are tons of jobs that are required worldwide. With a little research, you can easily pick up a job in your new city of choice, and make enough money to fund travel to your next location. A few jobs that work really well for this are nurse, bartender, photographer, and yoga instructor. There are tons of other examples, but these are some of the easiest jobs to get abroad. They all pay a steady wage, which can give some much-needed stability to your budget.

Even if regular employment isn’t your thing, you can use your skills, like massage therapy or music, to pick up some gigs while away from home. As long as you’re comfortable in the local language, it’s easy to put up advertisements and take in some occasional clients to give your bank account a boost.
