I’m so excited to put out this series of YouTube videos for women who want make money while traveling.
Quitting your job to travel is cool and all, but how do you eat?
I’m doing a series of YouTube videos where other Black women share exactly what jobs they do to make money while they travel.
Seasonal Hospitality Work
Chelle Nelson winters in Aspen and summers on Martha’s Vineyard by working the front desk at resorts. On top of her hourly pay, she gets free or subsidized room and board plus FULL ACCESS to the resort amenities the entire season. Her Instagram even makes ME consider getting a job on a ski resort. But I’m still committed to #boycottwinter.
In Aspen, Chelle gets free ski rentals and resort passes. Plus friends and family can stay at a discounted rate.
Watch our interview for more information about how to find seasonal hospitality jobs:
Teaching English Abroad – TEFL
Tonya Chen really felt a need to leave the US and live in another country. She found out about teaching English abroad and there was no turning back.
Tonya taught in Korea for 3 years. Her students ranged from kindergarteners to adults, and she had the chance to experience big city life and small town living.
Watch our conversation to learn more about what it’s like for Black English teachers abroad.
Tonya credits teaching abroad with making her into the woman she is today. She a TEFL Relocation Coach who helps people realize their dream of moving overseas.
January 2020, Tonya’s hosting a Teach Abroad Weekend Workshop to help you move through the TEFL process smoothly and efficiently. Click here to sign up to be notified about the workshop.
