Best ways to make money abroad???

Do some google searching on the Schengen Visa, or search this forum, and you'll find that if you're not a European citizen, you will be limited to 90 days in Schengen countries. That's the first thing you'll want to consider and make arrangements for.

Once you have that sorted, check out www.workingnomad.com or www.transitionsabroad.com.<BR><BR>Dave<BR>

and the 2nd thing is; discover YOUR nationality by looking in your passpt, though aove maks me believe youre not EU. that means the 90-day stay does NOT allow ANY paid work. and there are plenty of low-paid and willing to work east-Euro citizens BTW that can do same-same and are more likely to offer far better prospects for employes.
IF youre yond ang OZzie: ask aboyut the WHV as reciproke to what Ozieland offers
If youre US(Likely, as they are the 1s to assume0: YOUR contry also does not allow us to work, so expect the very same. and you make far better money by doing it at home anyway

Thank you.
I'm not EU an also am aware that I can't legally get a job in the EU. I'm more looking for advice on picking up "gigs" doing some web design or photography. Perhaps there are some good community pages similar to the US's craigslist I could scour. I've also heard rumors about getting paid to grade tests online. Anyone know about this?
Thanks for the advice!

LOL. Under the table web design or photography 'gigs'. You must be joking.

Look nomadiceye, you have very little chance of making any money while you travel. To make money even ilegally you need to sit still in a place for a while. A while being months, not days or weeks. Where do you plan to sit for months?

You have also ignored the Schengen comment above which restricts you to 90 days of your 6 months in all the Schengen countries combined. Assuming you spend the other 90 days in some non-Schengen E. European countries (even less of them after this December), it isn't likely you would find any worthwhile work in those countries where labour is cheap.

I suggest you realize that you can't expect to work during your trip and concentrate more on making sure you can legally be where you want to be re Schengen.

Why don't you do the sensible thing and earn the money BEFORE you travel - you'll be getting paid the market rate for the job, you won't be illegal and you won't have to worry about running out of money / finding a job.

And what happens when - sorry if - someone steals your laptop?

I'm sure you can make some money if you become a prostitute, otherwise no chance.

Try to get freelance work with a company in your home country. Webdesign and such stuff that you do on your laptop and then send them by mail / internet from wherever you are. That solves the visa problem.

I agree that you should just save some money first...it's quite difficult to work with travel. It's also quite stupid to leave without enough money...and if you do choose to partake in 'under the table money/employment', the sanctions may not be worth it. You can also look into obtaining a TEFL or TESOL certification, which will enable you to work in many parts of the world, teaching English. I'm assuming you are American, which will also give you an advantage, as native English speakers are preferred. As for the Schengen dilemma (if you do it shifty), you can always leave European Union countries. For example, if you are staying near/in Spain, catch a flight or Ferry to Morocco, and then you will have left the Eu.

Why do people dig out year old posts?

The comment re (if you do it shifty) and references to EU countries, sounds like you are under the impression that by leaving Spain for a few days you can then return to the Schengen countries for another 90 days. Schengen and the EU are not one and the same thing jess88 and it is 90 in 180 calendar days. You cannot just leave and then re-enter.
