There are alot of companies out there that you can work for online. One of the best options would be a direct sales company and just do your sales via the internet. Most companies do not charge you very much for an online shopping page. Some top websites I would recommend to check out for direct sales would be internetbasedmoms.com , homepartyplannetwork.com , wahmoms.com . There are alot of men and women that make 6 figures a year doing this. On one of those sites, they also have telecommute information.





One other thing I might recommend is this: I know a girl who traveled the world and did most of it for free by getting a short term tourism job at a camp where she would go. She traveled to offshore islands near France and her room and board were covered from working at a camp there. Then, on her offtime, she explored. She would work as a tourist, which from what she described is a legal work status in alot of countries.





Hope I helped.
Reply:MANY countries have "working holiday" programs...where you are granted a temporary work visa for 3 or 4 months so you can work in that country. There are also private comanies that help you organize you travels using working holidays in different countries. There are MANY websites that cover this. Australia, New Zealand, and several European countries have these programs. Just do a web search and enter"working holidays" and you will have many sites to read. Hope it works out weell for you.
Reply:If I were you I would contact some publishers ....newspapers....tell them that you are travelling around the world and whether they would be interested in purchasing your story/stories. You could try selling either individual stories about specific places, or you could pitch a series of stories about your experiences as a young american traveling the world and how it is changing your perspective etc. You might not be able to make a living exactly, but you could certainly subsidise your trip that way...you'll just need a laptop and an internet connection. Go to the bookstore and look for a book called the Writer's Market, they list hundreds of publications and also give you an example of how to submit to the various publications. And you don't have to limit yourself to just one publication either...you could write bunches with different angles as long as it's not exactly the same story more than once. You could even cover current fashions or food or what the current climate is for american travelers in that particular country. Also, if you know where you're going in advance, you could approach the local publications too...so you could try a UK paper or magazine and pitch a story about a young american's first impressions of the UK (or whereever) in the current world climate ....just for example....or even just some funny story about how hard it is to get used to people driving on the wrong side etc. You could even do a Where in the World is....for your local media.





I also know that people sometimes find job working under the table at restaurants around the world...it's a little more risky, I'd say, but it's worked for some. Good luck!
Reply:hay mate,the only thing i can think of is using temping agencies,but even then you will need work visas.if you are willing to do anything(i mean legally) to fund your travel,then it shouldn't be hard.but you could be picking bananas,picking up cow **** on a farm,working on a production line but hay at least its money.
Reply:You can't, really, at least not legally. You could apply for work visas for other countries, but getting a job in another country would be more difficult than getting a job in the U.S.A. I'm not sure why it's "impossible" for you to get a job here, but if it's impossible for you to find work in the U.S., you probably won't find very much work elsewhere, especially if you only stay in an area for a few months at a time. Companies don't usually like to hire people, in general, that aren't going to stick around, although you could probably find migrant/seasonal work.
