What do you all do for work that allows you the time and money needed to travel?
I'll start. I was in the military, was very fortunate to get stationed in Europe for a part of my contract. Didn't like the job itself much, but having what was basically an extended tourist visa was amazing. I also had a good amount of long weekends and paid leave so I could visit other countries. I'm out now, but it was good while it lasted.

Also prior service and agree. Once I separated I found myself in consulting and that sends me around CONUS on my company's dime which also lets me accrue points for essentially free travel (flight tickets/hotel). Work weeks are long but the pay and benefits are amazing.

The benefits more than make up for the low salaries if you know how to use them.
S TIER is entrepeneur. Selling shit on Shopify, Amazon FBA, Etsy, eBay, etc. Can work 2 or 4 hours per week for 80k to 5 million+ per year. Next tier would be software industry, the high salaries with the ability to live anywhere assuming your.. frick it, who's the girl with the massive bonkers in OPs pic related
Do you mean ebay/etsy drop shipping. I do ebay and etsy and can't see it working internationaly. 95% of buyers are in the US and would probably skip on international shipping.
Software consultant; also allows me to work remotely and they dont mind if I take more time off than officially allowed.
Why is this young man lifting his shirt up
like the girl in OP's pic; they like to show off
I started off as a freelance writer online for various content mills in the U.S., earning $0.025 per word. Really low-quality, low-effort stuff like random SEO blog filler content and Amazon product listings. Worked my ass off and these shady agencies that were hiring me started entrusting me with their biggest accounts, so I got experience ghostwriting for a few brand name clients (for $0.04 a word!). After a couple years of that, I lateraled to a Canadian company that paid for $100 an article. Worked my ass off for them, eventually got a salaried position at $66k annually (all of this is fully remote). The next year I was promoted to content director and started managing all the other writers and learning SEO analytics (73k). Now I'm earning a little over $80k as a content director for this Canadian company. Fully work from anywhere. I've been to over 40 countries since 2019, and currently visiting Estonia. No meetings, no nothing. I could earn more if I stayed in Toronto and took an office job, but frick that. Honestly, the key is to have talent, but also word very hard and ask for what you're worth once you've earned it. Most people would get to the two-cent per word clients, get kicked around by shitty bosses, and rage quit. If you can take these things in stride and still deliver A+ quality work even for underpaying, shitty clients, you'll make it. It's all worth it when I'm getting my dick sucked on a Greek island beach by some European cutie I met in my bunk above me in the hostel.
As someone who managed to travel to over 40+ countries in 3-4 years, what was your average stay duration and what are some countries you recommend visiting outside of the US as a first time traveler, additionally, what are some locations that are worth staying for an extended period of time?
Did you ever hire a travel agent to plan your itinerary? Did you use travel itineraries?
So many questions haha but your story sounds captivating.
It's hard to say what the average is. In some cases, like France, I've stayed over six months. In other cases, like Switzerland, I stayed a single day. Often it's only a single week that I'll stay somewhere before moving on, but remember I'm a remote worker so what might take me a full week would take you as a vacationer a couple of days.
I've never hired a travel agent or used any of their services. I couldn't imagine doing that. There are enough free recommendations online. Book hostels on Booking or Hostel World, or get a private room if you can afford it but IMO that's lame. If you're a first-time traveller and want to stay in Europe, I recommend the following places, from north to south:
>Tallinn
>Riga
>Vilnius
>Warsaw
>Lviv
>Krakow
>Bratislava (Vienna day trip)
>Budapest
>Belgrade
>Kotor
>Durres/Tirana
>Ohrid
>Thessaloniki
>Athens
>Chania
>Mykonos or Ios (optional)
Done - perfect trip with everything included, no major language barrier. No super expensive cities.
>Europe
>Lists all these white Black person tier countries
>Did you use travel itineraries?
For me, i take a look at the travel deals being offered on CYMI.
>in the hostel
Had to get to the end of the blog to stop reading
Yeah I stay in hostels and Airbnbs 50/50. I'm not a big coomer and I prefer the social aspect of travel. I'm still relatively young and I enjoy having beers with the traveller crowd and finding people to do day trips with. I guess I'm just well-adjusted
Plus hooking up with random traveller girls in hostels and finding sneaky places to do it is infinitely hotter than hotel room sex
nobody asked
jealous much?
don't use that langauge. it outs you as a c**t.
That's how I know he actually earns money writing stuff for the web. 10/10 leaving the hostel part last, would hire you for sure.
This is inspiring, but I'm quite lazy so I don't think I'll be doing the same grind.
Are you worried about chatGPT/other AI taking work from you? I would guess that espically the low quality writing content would get automated.
We use ChatGPT already, all the time. At the moment, it's not a concern. Honestly, I only have another couple years of continuous travel in me and after that point, I don't care. I'll find something else to do with my life at that point. But SEO analytics and running a content creation operation from scratch is a skill that I've now learned being in the business for so long and AI cannot do that (yet). I feel fairly secure and could probably open a full suite marketing boutique right now and earn double my income, but the stress isn't worth it while I'm travelling.
Lol, sure man. I've been staying in hostel for about 2.5 years and I've only hooked up with hostel girls maybe 4-5 times so it's not like a super frequent thing. Tinder obviously much more common, but it stops being fun after a while.
>It's all worth it when I'm getting my dick sucked on a Greek island beach by some European cutie I met in my bunk above me in the hostel.
lol sure keep dreaming fool
Work in tech. High pay and unlimited PTO with a boss that actually lets me take it.
Stock/crypto trading. But you've really gotta work 12-14 hours a day if you want to be consistently profitable and get rich
#1 is pilot. Sure, remote work is cool, but it will never beat free flights to anywhere in the world, PLUS a 14 on 14 off schedule.
You could drop in on a flight to Tokyo on a whim, then be in Paris 3 days later. You could even live wherever you want, if you're willing to commute.
It's easy even for flight attendants to get on board if you aren't being a sperg about "muh direct flights" and what not. Even if you're not traveling using your home airline you can still be smart about how to use your benefits and get about easily.

I work a corporate job for a legacy carrier. Standby agreements with almost every carrier always me to travel the world for pennies. Salary isn’t bad either
>There should just be an easy data entry job that I can apply for on indeed that pays me $15 an hour and I can go live in Thailand without doing some complex dork homosexual VPN spoofing.
There are such jobs with good effort/payment/flexibility conditions but they're well gatekept to keep out people like (You).
Post them I dare you larperdorker. They don’t fricking exist. It’s all “full stack deepthroater” or “SQL compiler piece of shit”
No help desk or data entry or “””””prompt engineer”””” in fricking sight
>what are paralegals
>what are CPA
>what are consultants
There are a variety of cushy jobs that you can do remotely without too many timezone constraints but they're well kept behind certifications and other red tape.
Bookkeeping is similar but could be done fully remote. You would have to have your own buisness and get clients that are good about scanning receipts or at least keeping them. You would also have to find clients that won't call randomly while you're in a different time zone.
boomers and israelites are a mistake
scam every boomer you can
lowball them on everything
make fake dating profiles
nothing you do to them is morally wrong
If a place hires CPAs remotely you can be sure it'll be for pajeets getting paid 20k a year and not some donkey from north america with a 120k degree looking for a 90k salary to do what a monkey can do.
That was true pre-COVID. Since COVID, they’re all sorts of boutique firms hiring CPAs, bankers, consultants, and the like willing to let them work remotely.
>zoomer discovers that having a job actually involves work
I’ve applied to tons of ‘remote’ help desk shit gigs and hardly get callbacks. Few ones that did call ghosted me. That’s after putting like 7 years of fake experience on my CV and listing certs like Net+ and CCNA etc. Indeed shows they get 250-300+ applicants. I’m guessing a lot of them are street shitters and Filipinos etc, and they just hire the street shitters.
Fricking annoying how hard it is to get a decent remote gig. I’d even take a $2000 a month shit gig. Most of these buttholes want you working on-site at their offices after they got to work from home for 3 years during Cuckvid.
>puts 7 years of fake experience on his CV
>wonders why he doesnt get a job
Honestly, if you actually did this I commend you because now I don’t actually have to try to get a remote job anymore. This would be the exact same thing I would try.
As I suspected only turbo fricking dorks can snag these ratshit clacker jobs
> Shit 2kUSD gig
The street shitters you speak of make 100USD a month in their country. No wonder you don't get jobs if you think 2K USD is bad
Here in the first world, $24k/year for a full time job is borderline poverty-tier
I do not approve of the homosexual pictures being posted in this thread. Please cease.
Testing a theory. Besides; if you have no trouble with these being posted
then you shouldnt have any problems with pictures of sexy lads
Dont want to be accused of double standards now do we?
🙁
shut the frick up homosexual, shove your theory in your butthole and kys
not thanks, closet case!
here have some more since you're so inclined
homosexualry is wrong, sex is for making children.
homosexuality is a natural and common occurrence since the dawn of existence which has only been looked down upon by a religion less than 3000 years old and only enforced the past 300 years; its not going anywhere.
sex is to be enjoyed as well as to procreate; its why dolphins have so much gay sex; they simply enjoy it. only pious normies think like that.
why do you care anyway? its not like you're gonna get any.
your shitposting annoys me, so I'm going to beat the shit out of the next homosexual I encounter IRL
good job poopdick, your homosexual spam just earned some hapless twink a concussion and possible brain damage
no larp, I'm headed out for a stroll right now, plenty of homosexuals around at this hour
I could rape your virgin chud butthole and you couldn’t stop me.
>shitdick wants to rape men
I know, which is why I left a homosexual bleeding in an alleyway about 45 minutes ago missing most of teeth on one side of his face thanks to the cinderblock I bashed him in the face with. Your shitdick spam set that event in motion, btw.
Keep it to yourself next time.
hey man your closet case denial just looks worse when you behave like that
larping on an anonymous mongolian carpet weaving forum to re-affirm your fragile masculinity is not going to do anything
Get back to your security detail bonehead
Uni admin. Most of the jobs don’t allow remote work, but some do and the nature of this line of work is that you commonly jump around from job to job every few years, get a degree, take a year off to “research” or “write” that sort of thing.
how do you get into this?
Get a degree. Apply to jobs. It helps if you have a graduate degree, but it’s not necessary. It really helps if you know someone that can get you in, but it’s not necessary. It’s seriously the easiest job in the world. The only hard part is getting in. The only downside is that the pay is good but not great.
there seems to be 2 kinds of SighSeeelers that post here. Tradies that work backbreaking labor on an oil rig 80 hrs/week making bank for 6 months then take 6 months off. Or, tech bros that work remotely.
Try sucking dicks. Everyone everywhere wants it, you can fly around sucking dicks and earning money as you go.
I'm never going to fricking make it am I bros... I've been considering being a truck driver but apparently if I take a couple months off nobody would hire me again. I could join the military I guess. No matter what it seems like a waste of my life
Don't worry about taking time off, you don't even have the job yet. Get the job and act like you're permenant, save, quit on good terms, travel. When it comes to getting back into the job, you can can go back to the same company or find another one. You could tell them you had a once in a lifetime travel oppertunity.
Even better would be making connections in your travels and learning aout new oppertunities you can't imagine now. Don't be a doomer.
trucking company's are dying for people they aren't turning away shit
That's because they fired everyone.
Don't do it anon. Teamsters are a good union, but trucking in general is literally a DoT certification away from being automated. I work trade shows/conventions, and the only reason shipping got crunched during covid was because companies started laying off truckers right before, because you can automate it effortlessly for everything except final mile delivery, and that pays shit.
Military is not a bad choice but there are many wrong ways to do it. The best I've heard about is to choose an MOS with excellent civilian contractor oppetunities. You do your contract with the military (2-3 years if you can get it that low), then you can choose a US military base somewhere in the world and work there as a civilian contractor. I knew a who worked on harriers in the marines. He said the civilian contractors in Afganistan made +300k a year (more of a means to make money and travel). Another guy I met was doing some kind of contracting in south Korea living in a 3 room apt.
Field service engineer. Every instrument in legit biotech labs needs people to install them and give them an annual Preventive maintenance and qualification. That guy can just be a bachelors in chemistry with no kids or wife to look after, is okay with heavy travel, can work with people and doesn’t mind a little wet lab work since it’s a different site each week.
That guy enjoys United 1k status, different luxury rental cars every week, hotel suites and food all on company card, hookers and cocaine with no drug tests, each shift maybe only 4hours on average then rest of the time is yours, in desirable locations since biotech hubs are expensive areas. Need to travel with a pelican toolbox sometimes up to 3 but mostly just the 1 for our most popular instrument. Just got back from a beautiful and ungodly expensive 2 week stay in Lausanne Switzerland with two weekends to hang out and made it to the Montreux Jazz festival
how to into this
Need a degree in science or military experience like troubleshooting and installing electronics. This is the hidden gem for bored 20 somethings who fell for the STEM meme and already work in a lab. They have field service work for other industries besides biotech like food and beverage, there’s field service guys that fix the Coca Cola dispensers.
Although their life wouldn’t be as glamorous still get a company card free food free hotels but might be staying in bumfrick with only shitty motels. Or even worse get a company fleet van with the logo and have to keep that in your driveway
Look for field service technician or field service engineer roles that let you fly and get rental cars
this guy knows whats up. field service guys make bank and travel all the time. but thats the downside, you live in a hotel for 300 days out of the year. most guys burn the frick out by year 2. it takes a special kind of person to do it.
I'm in the same industry, if you don't mind me asking who do you work for? In assuming some Swiss biotech company but are they multinational? That is, could I work for them in the US without being an EU citizen but still do all the field service stuff?
What branch of IT should I get into if I want to become a digital nomad? Cloud?
$200k a year as a regular ol' mechanical engineer. fully remote. i design factories and hospitals.
Would you recommend a career change into Mech E? I’d have to go back to college for it, unless there are masters programs you can test into
fake puke factories and teddy bear hospitals? Anyone designing something serious would get 5 times the amount....
Who gives a frick homie you don't even make $50k
Who wants to pay taxes on so much money? My ideal maximum annual income is $30K, and even at that level, it'll be a real challenge spending my $15,000 travel fund on my annual five month winter vacation.
How do you get selected?

Any advice for someone who recently graduated with a I.T degree? Wish I went with compsci. I was thinking of aiming for something with datacenters.
How is actual teaching abroad in international schools? Not English or alt jobs, but actual subject teaching job.
Context: I've taught ap physics and env science in the states for the past 5 years and I've been thinking about trying to either jump abroad or change scenes but I'm still unsure about the whole thing. Especially when most of the time teaching jobs mean eng teaching.

Goin to Chile solo for the whole month of August. I’m in my late 20’s and this is my first time in South America, cant decide if I want to rent a camper van and check out Patagonia or check out Atacama Desert. Any other tips and advice would be appreciated. Any good tips on meeting new people/friends. Flying into Santiago.
Isn't it cold and nasty in Patagonia in August? August is equivalent to February in the Northern Hemisphere.
I always recommend Torres del Paine in Patagonia but August might not be the best time for that since its still winter, almost the end of it. On one hand there will be far less people that summer that it at is peak but you might get rain and clouds that block the view to the mountains, but its the end of winter so it might not be the case, its definitely gamble.

If you work for a nursing agency in mental health you can earn a lot of money and don’t work unless you pick the shift yourself. £60 odd an hour on weekends, depending on the agency you’ll do no less than £35 an hour
