In a world where social media sets the tone for our travel destinations, people want a career that has a healthy work and travel balance. The best of both worlds: bleisure. A study shows that 69 percent of millennials on business trips wish they could extend their trip for leisure, while 39 percent of millennial travelers today say they wouldn’t take a job that didn’t allow them to travel for business.
Here are a few jobs you can do while traveling the world.
Blogging
Believe it or not, there’s money in blogging. Companies and brands will pay bloggers and influencers to embark on the experience of a lifetime at some island on the other side of the world. You can make about $10,000/month for posting videos or pics on social media. It’s a cash cow and everyone who is funny, consistent, and not afraid to share their opinions are doing it.
Teach English Abroad
Tour the world and teach others to read, write and possibly speak in English in countries all around the world. Explore their culture and help residents of a country improve their language proficiency through education. I can only imagine the satisfying feeling English teachers have reaching others in Chile, China, Spain, or Vietnam, serving others in a way that impacts the rest of their life.
