Alaska Tour Jobs

No, Alaska isn’t a frozen wasteland. Come summer time, it blooms into one of the most beautiful places in the world and a popular tourist destination. There are a variety of jobs offered through this easy-to-navigate site, from bartender, guest services, and tour guide to line cook and manager. Id apply for one if I didn’t already have summer plans.

Jobs on Boats

I’ve always dreamed of living on a boat, and what better way than to get paid while sailing (or yachting) to an exotic location? There may be long hours or cramped quarters, but it would be such a great experience to have. The problem is that many people who own boats are only looking to hire experienced sailors- but this is one site where owners will often accept people with no experience; sometimes they just want company. Just make sure to be careful, as with anything on the internet, and don’t apply for sketchy-sounding positions.

Jobs in Australia

This is like the craigslist of Australia. There are all kinds of job openings, and who wouldn’t want to spend a summer in Australia, mate? If you want a unique job experience, try a Harvest Job. You’ll work on a farm helping to harvest crops to earn some money. You can get a full or part-time job. I wouldn’t want to do this long term, but it would certainly be fun to try once. Plus, there are always job openings so you are bound to find something.

Seasonal Job Sites

For those of you who want all the options laid out, here you go. This is a huge list of sites that post seasonal jobs. I haven’t sorted through all of them, so I cant say they are all good, but there are certainly a few that are. Worth a look, you might find an awesome summer travel job!

Elance

If you hate the idea of being employed, try getting some freelance work. It will allow you to be mobile and work on all kinds of different projects.
