Working Abroad: Your Guide To A Work-and-Travel Lifestyle

Everyone wants to travel, but the age-old responses always come up: "I don't have time."

"I don't have the money."

"I don't know where to go!"

These are valid responses but there are ways around them, especially when it comes to working abroad. Trust me :) I've been living a work + travel lifestyle for the past 2+ years.

I've held three international travel jobs across Europe and Asia, one of which I did on vacation while working full time for someone else.

How Traveling and Moving To New Cities Shaped My Life in the Best Way (So Far)

How Traveling and Moving To New Cities Shaped My Life in the Best Way (So Far)

There have been multiple times I’ve moved somewhere where I didn’t know anyone. College, where I knew just a few people. My first post-college summer job in Washington, DC and New York. My travel job in Florence, Italy. Taking a leap of faith again - without a job, or knowing anyone - by moving to Phoenix after returning from Europe.
