Working and traveling is something we’re seeing far more these days. It isn’t unusual to stumble across somebody on social media who’s living in an exotic destination and making money while they do so. If you’re thinking of working and traveling simultaneously so you can see the world without being a vagabond and sleeping on couches, this guide will help you.

Below, we have some tips that will enable you to have the best time traveling as you earn money–it might not be easy at first, but it’ll definitely be worth it if you have an unshakeable wanderlust! Take a look and see what you can do:

Pack Well

The first thing you want to master is packing well. Pack as many clothes that don’t wrinkle as you can so you can look smart, whether you’ll be going to a meeting or heading to an interview. Find ways to save space in your bag, and remember, you will be able to buy stuff when you arrive at your destination if you need to.

Be Prepared To Meet People

You’re going to meet all kinds of people when you travel, so be prepared to make some friends. They might give you some awesome tips on working and traveling that really help you out, and you might even find some buddies to explore with if you want. You can make friends while travel nursing, bartending, or even freelancing if you know where to go!

Have A Good Internet Connection

A good internet connection is essential. You’ll be able to get work done faster if you’re freelance, and stay in touch with people back home.

Set Focus Blocks In A Different Time Zone

If you’re in a different timezone to other people you’re working with, it can help you to set focus blocks to get more done while they are offline. Then, you can dedicate the rest of your time to completing team centric projects.

Take Things That Make You Feel More Secure

Being away from home can be daunting, so take things that help to make you feel more secure. For instance, something to watch your favorite shows, a special pillowcase, a framed picture of your loved ones, or something else you love.

Try To Stick to a Routine

Although you’re in another country and you want to have fun, you should still try to stick to a routine. You don’t want to end up all over the place, as you won’t be able to stay focused and get as much work done, or to a high standard.

Don’t Be Overly Ambitious

Working in a place will mean you’ll want to plan to stay there longer if you’re going to be working, as you won’t have a ton of free time to explore and take the place in all at once. You definitely won’t want to stress yourself out by hopping from place to place too quickly. Be realistic about how often you’ll go somewhere new!
