放下工作去旅行 12个旅途中挣钱的好方法

2014-07-11来源:makemyfriday
7. Work For A Cruise Line
7. 在游轮上工作

Working on a cruise ship similarly sends you to exotic locales for pay, yet there are a few key differences. The job comes with long hours for comparably poor pay, but with all expenses paid and free travel. Crew members have their own dining halls, shops, Internet cafes, gyms, party areas, and even organized activities, which creates a fun culture. There are numerous jobs on a ship, with certain ones better than others. Washing dishes just doesn't sound as good as chaperoning passengers on exotic excursions.
在游轮上工作基本上等于去外国还有钱拿。这份工作时间长、薪资低,但是所有花销全免还能免费旅游。船员有自己的餐厅、商店、网吧、健身房、派对场地,甚至有组织好的活动参加,营造了有趣的氛围。船上的工作有很多种,有好有差。洗碗就不如陪同船上的旅客听起来体面。

8. Start A Travel Blog
8. 开一个旅游博客

Being a professional travel blogger is a tough gig. While traveling to every sight imaginable is a tantalizing part of the job, it takes a lot of work to make it happen. Most travel bloggers spend a year building their sites, churning out several posts a day and building up a following on social-media before they ever see any money from their sites. To make it all work, you have to truly love travel and blogging.
成为专业的旅游博主是非常难的。可以去日思夜想的地方旅游是这份工作吸引人的一点,但是想要做到这一点却要求大量工作。大多数驴友博主在靠网站挣钱之前,花费了一年的时间建立网站,每天发几篇博客,在社交网站上争取追随者。要想成功,你必须非常热爱旅游和写博客。

9. Work As An Au Pair
9. 做帮佣

An au pair, or an extra pair of hands, is an international nanny who lives with a family for a set period, taking care of their children in exchange for travel, room, board, and pocket money. It can be a fantastic way to see a new culture from the locals' perspective and make some money. Most au pairs are students or recent graduates, so get in before it's too late. [/en
]“An au pair”指的是固定时间在某个家庭做帮佣的游客,为主人照看孩子并以此换取旅行的钱、食宿和零花钱。这是从当地人那里感受新文化和挣钱的好方法。大多数帮佣是学生或是毕业生,所以赶紧开始干吧。

10. Become A Destination Wedding Photographer

10. 做景点婚纱摄影师

This one requires a bit of skill, but for those with the artistic temperament a wedding-photography business can offer free travel and an outlet for creative expression. It goes without saying that you will have to be a talented photographer, or at least a well-practiced one.
这份工作需要一点技术,但是对于那些文艺青年来说,做景点婚纱摄影师既可以旅游,又是表现创意的途径。这并不要求你必须是一个有天赋的摄影师,但至少要有经验。

The wedding business is a competitive one with high entry costs (think computer, camera, lenses, editing software, portfolio, website, and, possibly, training), but it pays well. Many destination wedding photographers charge up to $10,000 a wedding, plus airfare, meals, and incidentals. While you'll be working hard during the wedding, extend your stay for a few hundred dollars and you are well paid and traveling free.
婚纱摄影行业竞争较大,门槛很高(试想一下电脑、相机、镜头、编辑软件、作品集、网站还可能需要培训),但是收入高。很多景点摄影师一次婚礼要价高达10000美元,加上机票、餐费和临时开支。婚礼期间你需要努力工作,你可以待的时间长一点,以此增加几百美元的收入,这时候你就有了不错的收入并且可以免费旅行了。

11. Join The Peace Corps
11. 加入和平部队

Joining the Peace Corps is not a decision to be taken lightly. It requires a 27-month commitment in a developing country with few modern conveniences and not much opportunity to see friends or family. If you have a desire to make a difference in the lives of others, the Peace Corps can be a life-changing and rewarding experience.
加入和平部队需要慎重考虑。它要求在发展中国家待上27个月,而且没有什么现代设施,没有机会见家人和朋友。如果你想为他人的生活带来一些改变,加入和平部队绝对是一个改变生活而且有回报的选择。

12. Write A Literary Account Of Your Travels
12. 创作一篇关于旅行的文学作品

If all else fails (or you are an incredible wordsmith), take a crack at writing the next "Green Hills of Africa," "Homage to Catalonia," or "The Sun Also Rises." If the book does well, you could have a cash cow on your hands in the form of royalties and advance checks. Of course, most would-be authors will never see a cent from their travels or literary hard work. If you have the courage to try, you could end up with the traveling lifestyle and your pick of publications to print your essays and stories.
如果其他的都失败了(或者你是一个了不起的语言大师),尝试写出下一部《非洲的青山》、《向加泰罗尼亚致敬》或者《太阳照常升起》吧。如果书写得好,稿酬、支票都会来,你就有了一棵摇钱树。当然,大多数所谓的作家是不会从旅行或是他们的文学作品中赚到一分钱的。如果你有勇气尝试,那么旅行之后可以找出版社出版你的文集和故事。
