Travel can be a life-changing experience, but it can also be a costly one. Whether you want to travel full-time or be able to afford the occasional vacation, it’s crucial to save enough to cover your trips without having to sacrifice other goals.

But what if you could travel while you work — and get paid to do it? Believe it or not, certain jobs require you to travel and some even let you plan out where you go.

If you’re seeking a job that will help you see more of the world, consider these nine interesting careers and where they could take you:

#1: High-End Event Photographer

While not all photographers have to travel to do their work, some absolutely do. This is especially true of upscale photographers in fashion since they may be flown to new destinations to get the perfect shot.

This guest post from Marla Taner is an example of the things money nerds do when they get together. I first met Marla five years ago. Since then, she’s become a good friend. Plus, she’s my “travel hacking” mentor.

By no means were we spending super frivolously, but the addition of a second child plus a job change for my husband left us feeling like we were in survival mode for most of 2017.

First, I had to figure out where the financial leak was. Besides a few emergency expenses, I realized we were constantly living above our weekly allowance and charging it to the credit card. Mostly, the extra costs were for food. Because we were in survival mode, we didn’t have as much time to plan meals, and therefore, we were eating out too much. And when we did buy groceries, we overspent on them. On top of all of that, we were stressed out.

Freelancers and small-business owners might not have the financial capital on hand to invest in all of the tools and apps that can help a business run smoothly.

In September of 2017, Hurricane María blasted the Caribbean, causing huge amounts of devastation, over 100 deaths, and a massive breakdown of infrastructure.

Merriam-Webster defines frugality as “careful management of material resources and especially money.” Yet, there’s much more than that packed into such a simple word. For some, frugality means hope and opportunity. That’s the feeling I get from the word. For others, frugality means missing out. Frugality can mean less work for some people and more […]
