Working abroad has never been easier, with job possibilities ranging from hospitality to teaching to writing. It has also never been more popular as more people realize that the regular nine-to-five isn’t for them.
It’s not hard to see why: working abroad is a great way to work and earn money while seeing more of the world.
This article looks at the seven best jobs you can do abroad to see the world and earn great pay.
1. Hospitality and Tourism
The hospitality industry is packed with job opportunities for anyone who wants to work abroad, like bartending and hotel work. In addition, many are willing to take applications from around the world and will happily hire travelers, so you can earn extra money while abroad even if you don’t plan to stay.
Alternatively, you could work in tourism. If you have sound knowledge of a particular area, becoming a tour guide or working within the tourism industry is a great way to earn money while traveling or living abroad.
Some jobs within the industry will come with bonuses, such as accommodation or insurance. On top of that, you can also earn good money. Depending on the type of work you do and your experience level, you can earn up to $3000 per month. Of course, the more of this work you take on, the higher your income will be as your experience grows.
2. Teaching
Native English speakers can earn good money teaching international students, especially anyone with teaching qualifications. These opportunities often come with the option to live and work in foreign countries, working with either children or adults in small groups or individually.
If you can get work through an agency, some positions also offer the chance to tutor English online, working a set number of hours for classes or individuals. This usually consists of creating lesson plans and delivering them via video. Again, online teaching offers the ability to work from anywhere you have internet access.

You can earn anywhere between $1,000 and $5,000 a month through teaching, but there is the potential to earn more depending on how much you work and how much experience you have. The highest paying teaching jobs are likely to be found in the Middle East and Asia, where fluent English is a valuable asset.
3. Writing or Blogging
Becoming a successful writer or blogger can take a lot of work to find your niche and build an audience. Yet it is also a brilliant career for those who want to work abroad or travel while maintaining a job.
Travel and writing go well together. Many travelers make money writing about their experiences. But travel writing isn’t the only option; really, you can write about anything from fashion to lifestyle. Moreover, any writer in a remote or freelance position can work from abroad and earn serious money.
At first, writing isn’t necessarily a highly paid job. The amount you can earn depends on your engagement and the consistency of the work you are putting out and is mainly generated through advertisements and links. Some writers keep a blog as a side hustle, while others consistently make upwards of $20,000 a month.

4. Photographer
Traveling the world and creating photographs based on your experiences is a dream for many people. But it can also be an excellent opportunity to put a marketable skill to good use and earn some money while traveling. Of course, any photographer can work abroad, but travel photographers tend to do exceptionally well.
It takes a lot of work to get to the point where you can earn a secure income from photography. The top end of a photographer’s income is typically around $10,000 per month with experience and a solid portfolio.
5. Remote Work
More people than ever are working remotely nowadays, and many opportunities are opening. Jobs like virtual assistants and data collection are becoming more and more popular as people seek to have more freedom to work from anywhere.
The amount you can earn from remote work depends on the hours you put in, the work you are doing, and how you find work. It may also vary from job to job. However, it’s a great way to earn money from anywhere, even as a side hustle and most jobs require few qualifications.

6. Travel Industry
Working within the travel industry is a great way to combine earning a wage with traveling the world, especially if you choose international sectors. You get to see the world, but accommodation and transport are covered. Jobs like cruise ship entertainers and airline crew can be challenging to get into but are great for seeing the world.
Working in the travel industry can result in a monthly income of between $1000 and $4000, depending on your experience and job. Some jobs, like pilots, can earn a great deal more than this, but it takes many years to qualify and can be highly stressful.

7. Translator or Interpreter
Freelance translators and interpreters can find work in many different sectors, from politics to medicine. Many work domestically in a fixed setting, but that isn’t always the case. It’s a marketable skill that can be used to travel and work abroad, especially if you are fluent in more than one language.
Experienced translators and interpreters can earn around $50,000 per year, with those in more nuanced positions can earn even more than this. It depends on how much experience you have in the area and how much you can tailor your skills to meet different industry standards.
Summary
Working abroad is a dream for many people, and the opportunities to make great money while traveling or living abroad are growing. All it takes is a little business knowledge and some marketable skills to create a meaningful income while working abroad.
