Work Your Way Around the World
By Mr. Girard | June 22, 2008
It was way back in 1992 that a then friend started me thinking about leaving Tucson for the wide world. He recommended a book, Work Your Way Around the World, that has suggestions for financing world travel by working in the places you visit, among them finding work as an extra in the Hong Kong film industry, planting trees in northern Canada, picking grapes and olives in Italy and Spain, and, obviously, teaching English anywhere (which led me to South Korea and Ecuador).
I discovered this list posted by the globally-minded web community at Matador Volunteer, “Top 10 Volunteer Opportunities Worldwide”, and this story at CNN, “Need a career change? Five jobs that let you see the world”.
Another book to check out if you’re interested in traveling as a lifestyle is Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel
