Top 3 Ways to Make Money While Traveling Abroad
Have you ever envisage yourself in a place totally different from your home country? Some people are of the opinion that traveling changes your mentality from good to bad, simply as a result of one incident or the other.
Although I am not in total disagreement with their judgment, I believe it’s a personal opinion. Me, I always believe that wherever you go, go with all your heart.
The world entirely is like a full textbook, and those who do not travel read only a page. Creating room for a particular incident to cloud your reasoning is not a healthy thing to do.
Recently, I was at the Gwanju institute of science and Technology, South Korea for a six months internship program, believe me, or not, it was the greatest thing that happened in my life. Been the first time, I had no prior knowledge of the language, culture, religion, kind of foods, etc. But my heart was already prepared for the journey, and it was remarkable.
People are inclined to think that traveling and living abroad will cost them a fortune, but believe me, it’s not that much. Just a few dollars. Instead, you will in turn live like a king because of the enormous opportunities available. Except you plan on driving expensive cars and going out shopping on a daily basis.

Take my advice; living with the people and acquiring more knowledge about their culture, foods, and tradition is the real hit.
With the above being said, below are the top 5 ways to live like a king while traveling abroad.
Start a Blog and become a Problogger With Ease
I was privileged to attend a day seminar hosted by John Chow of Johnchow.com; a ProBlogger who makes millions of dollars teaching people how to blog and make money online.
He visited Sanjose city in the US, for a day seminar, and I marveled at his success. From a newbie blogger who barely handles his internet bills, and eats properly to currently a millionaire blogger.
Although other pro bloggers raking in millions from blogging abound, like Yaro Starak of entrepreneurs-journey.com, Pat Flynn of smartpassiveincome.com, and Harsh Agrawal of Shoutmeloud.com. The list is unending.
All this success, just from the comfort of their homes or kitchen. Starting a blog from the beginning can be very demanding although less expensive, as low as $10 for a domain name with free hosting from Blogspot – but pays extremely well in the long run. These days, there is hardly any child above 16 years without a mobile device to surf the internet for any information. With your blog, you can reach out to this teaming population after carving a niche for yourself; you can create a product catalog to market your own merchandise like Books, mobile devices and shoes, etc. Apply for affiliate marketing programs and make profits from relevant commissions earned.
Engage in pay-per-click services like Google Adsense. Two weeks ago, a friend of mine after working for 20 years, decided to retire from his banking job and traveled to Toronto Ontario in Canada, traveling he took some beautiful photographs and autographs with some personalities, while in-plane and when he landed in the city. Made few post, comments and shared on his little niche blog, Instagram and Facebook account which he created a few months back before retiring from his job. Shockingly, he earns a few dollars and today he is happy with the blog he currently earns between $1000 to $5000 on monthly basis.
Blogging is not a get-rich-quick scheme, so much effort is needed to generate the desired income. The important thing is that it doesn’t require you to rent an office, just from any place you are. You’re certain of making your money. if you’re inquisitive about starting a blog now, you’ll find mountains of helpful and relevant information online from blogs like Johnchow.com, Copyblogger.com,problogger.net,Shoutmeloud.com. Honestly, this is the best shot to start with while planning your next trip abroad.

Teach English and Become a Real King
This is practically my best option to rule while planning your next trip abroad. Do you think the English language is simple? Visit Asian countries like Korea, Japan, Malaysia, China, and even Middle East countries; you will be mesmerized at what you will discover. Frankly, I had to return back to my home country because I needed to see my Grandmother and help her out with one or two things she needed.
Some clients pay as much as $3000-$5000 monthly including well-furnished accommodation, airfare to and fro from home country, and lots more, the only requirement is for you to be a native speaker of English, and possess a relevant university degree in any field. Citizens from countries like the UK, US, Australia, Newzealand, and South Africa are always given priority. Although qualified intending teachers from other countries are also accepted. Additionally, been a university graduate with relevant English teaching certifications are also highly desirable.
Most credited online organizations offer certified TEFL/TESOL and CELTA Certifications to registered members and also offer job placement after undergoing one or two weeks’ intensive training with them. What I did was to register for TEFL online at liveteflprague.com, received my certificate in four weeks and visited eslcafe.com for short job placement in Seoul. I was able to make $10,000 throughout my stay in South Korea for a period of 6 months.
Hopefully, I will be travelling back by the end of this year to teach English in Busan, South Korea for at least two years through liveteflprague program. Living like a king is not in any form a doubt because opportunities are countless and if you think you might need something different or a place to rest your head after landing, just keep reading.

According to Harsh Agrawal of shoutmeloud, a blogger can be a freelance writer, but a freelance writer cannot be a blogger.

This is what I call the true king spirit. The pen is truly mightier than the sword. Been a freelance writer only requires few skills such as good mental and physical mindset, good content research ability and the ease in conveying practical information in writing.
