								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>This post is by Kylie Chenn. She is amazing and has come a long way, so I asked her to share her best business tips with us.</em></p>
<p>Hi! My name is Kylie. (I am Alyne&#8217;s friend that you may recognize from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dearalyne/videos/194488441235252/">The Pink Tax</a> video.) I founded a travel company when I was 20 years old, still a university student, and had no money in the bank!</p>
<p>My company now takes 1000+ people on trips around the world each year, and has doubled in revenue each year for the past 3 years. CRRRRAAAZZZYY! I have learned A LOT about EVERYTHING to do and NOT to do in business and Alyne has asked me to share some of those learnings with you here! So here they are!</p>
<h2>My Top 10 Business Tips:</h2>
<p>1) Remember and understand WHY you started the business and that will keep you going in hard times!</p>
<p>2) Keep it simple &amp; don’t wait until your product is perfect to start; <a href="https://clone.dearalyne.com/travel/make-money-while-travelling/">Find a way to earn money while you build</a>.</p>
<p>3) Count the costs &amp; be aware where you are spending money (you can always find creative ways to spend less).</p>
<p>4) Set up a website or social page, learn how to write (or find people who write), and provide great content!</p>
<p>5) Go to events, speak up, &amp; don&#8217;t be afraid to share what you are doing! My first customers came from personal conversations!</p>
<p>6) Focus on building your team &amp; invest time in empowering people who can help your business grow.</p>
<p>7) Listen to your customers (or audience), the best business validation comes from making sales!</p>
<p>8) Trust your gut &#8211; and believe that you know best!</p>
<p>9) Build up a community around you! This could be a Facebook group (such as GGG), events, meet-ups, etc&#8230;</p>
<p>10) Don&#8217;t be afraid to share your personal story &amp; create connections. We all like hearing about the challenges, successes, and learnings others have gone through!</p>
<p>Building a business, creating a community, and following your dream is incredibly difficult. However, there will always be people willing to help you along the way. These tips were things that friends, family, mentors, business partners, and even customers shared with me and have helped propel what I’m doing to the next level &#8211; and I hope that they can help you too!</p>

<h3>Topic: Career Tuesday</h3>
<p>I work an odd job that could best be explained as a weapons mechanic for the United States military. (I&#8217;m not enlisted anymore) I work with 99.5% men (not exaggerating). I am also a single mom of 2 beautiful little girls who have some high needs after a traumatic situation in our lives.<br />
It&#8217;s not easy. I love my job but absolutely hate most of the people I work with. They have bullied me so badly this year that I am looking into options to leaving my career but it&#8217;s scary as my kids have some expensive medical needs.<br />
It&#8217;s a hard decision because I love being that badass but graceful woman who comes in with her steeltoes, torn workpants, grease on her face, and fixes the issue. I dont want to be normal. I don&#8217;t want to be average. I dont want to lose my fire. But I don&#8217;t want to panic at the thought of going into work and being harrassed.</p>

Our hope is that you find posts to relate to, and maybe some answers to your own questions!</em></p>
<h3>Topic: #GGGBlogger (GGG INVITED GUEST BLOGGER)</h3>
<p>Hey Ladies,</p>
<p>Our fearless leader Alyne asked me to type up a post to help those of you who are wanting to make money to travel or while traveling!</p>
<p>As a full-time travel blogger who’s been to 65 countries on 6 continents in the last 5 years, I understand that blogging isn’t for everyone, nor is it the only way to make money while traveling!</p>
<p>There are dozens of opportunities out there, it&#8217;s just about finding the one that fits your life and circumstances best.</p>
<p>Depending on your country of origin or native language, some jobs will be more applicable to some of you than others, but please don&#8217;t let that discourage you!</p>
<p>Alas, in no particular order, here are the best 10 jobs that allow you to make money to travel or while traveling:</p>
<p>1. WORKAWAY (https://www.workaway.info)</p>
<p>This website is gold! Though it cost a little over $30 USD to register with the site for an annual membership to access/apply for work opportunities, it is SUCH a powerful resource.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve used it in the past to land jobs at hostels as a receptionist, leading pub crawls, teaching private English classes, you name it!</p>
<p>There is a multitude of different opportunities where they will either pay you an hourly rate, or cover all your living and food expenses, so that you can at least save money for other travel expenses!</p>
<p>Highly recommend trying this out and it gives you access to opportunities around the world, not just in your country.</p>
<p>Contracts are also flexible depending on the host, but if you want to live in Brazil for a month, for example, you could find a hostel job for 30 days that gives you a free bed and food every day, so that you can enjoy Brazilian life very cheaply!</p>
<p>2. UPWORK (https://upwork.com)</p>
<p>This is for more of my tech-savvy ladies out there. Whether you&#8217;re a writer, copywriter, editor, graphic/web designer, or anything that can be done through digital means, there is SOMEONE (actually, many someones) looking to pay you for your services!</p>
<p>People like me, who have a million things on our table, but not nearly enough time, will happily hire someone for $20/hour to do things for us.</p>
<p>The best part is, you can do this from behind your laptop or phone, so that you can be saving money to travel, or traveling and doing virtual work part-time.</p>
<p>The easiest kind of work would be editing or freelance writing, but you need to be decent at it. Don&#8217;t expect to be hired by anyone if you don&#8217;t have a resume, blog, or any published work online.</p>
<p>Some of these gigs take time to secure, but when you put in the work today, it will start paying off in your tomorrows.</p>
<p>3. AU PAIR (https://www.aupairworld.com/en)</p>
<p>There are hundreds of Au Pair sites out there, but I trust this one the most.</p>
<p>This job isn&#8217;t for everyone, and you can compare it best to nannying, but you have to have patience and discipline.</p>
<p>I did this for 6 months in Barcelona a few years ago, and while it only paid 60 euros a week, my living expenses were 0.</p>
<p>I was getting a free private room, cell phone, metro/rail pass, and 3 meals a day.</p>
<p>So each week, I saved those 60 euros for travel/plane tickets, and after 6 months, I took off to start traveling again.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a native English speaker, there are SO many opportunities to do this in Spain, France, Italy, etc.</p>
<p>Do your research and make sure you communicate with the family via Skype before you accept any offers.</p>
<p>This was also how I was able to learn Spanish &#8212; living in another country for a bit!</p>
<p>4. HOST AN EXPERIENCE ON AIRBNB</p>
<p>In the last few months, Airbnb rolled out a new program where they allow locals of any city to host experiences.</p>
<p>So those of you who love art, can teach people how to paint with wine or something!</p>
<p>Those of you who are photographers can lead a photo walk.</p>
<p>Those of you who speak multiple languages can host a language exchange.</p>
<p>So many possibilities and room for flexibility as you can price the experience at whatever you want.</p>
<p>If you lead a photo walk and charge $10, and 10 people book and show up, then boom, that&#8217;s $100 for 3-4 hours of your time!</p>
<p>5. TOUR GUIDE WITH TOP DECK OR CONTIKI (https://www.topdeck.travel/about-topdeck/work-for-us) or (https://www.contiki.com/eu/en/join-the-team)</p>
<p>I have no personal affiliation with either of these companies, but they host extensive tours around the world focusing on the demographics of those aged 18-35.</p>
<p>Whether you become a tour leader, driver, or crew member, this is a great way to be stationed somewhere for 6 months of the year, and literally be paid to lead people to travel!</p>
<p>6. TEACH ENGLISH ABROAD WITH TEFL (bit.ly/TEFLcertification)</p>
<p>If English is your native language, invest in a TEFL certification that allows you to teach English as a foreign language abroad.</p>
<p>From what I&#8217;ve read, South Korea is one of the highest paying countries for this, and I know people who&#8217;ve earned upwards of $60K USD a year, with paid housing, all while being given 5 weeks of paid time off.</p>
<p>7. VOLUNTEER WITH THE U.S. PEACE CORPS (https://www.peacecorps.gov/volunteer/voluteer-openings)</p>
<p>This has its ups and downs, and there&#8217;s not much flexibility when it comes to assigned locations and duties, but if you&#8217;re a patient person and want to make a difference in third world countries, this might be for you.</p>
<p>8. HOUSE OR PET SITTING (https://www.trustedhousesitters.com)</p>
<p>Think of baby-sitting, but better! You&#8217;re looking after people&#8217;s home and pets!</p>
<p>You need to pay for a membership, but if you build up your resume, you can easily start getting gigs.</p>
<p>I have a friend who has been cat-sitting all around Asia, staying in luxurious apartments/flats while looking after people&#8217;s pets.</p>
<p>9. BARTEND OR WORK ON A CRUISE SHIP (https://www.allcruisejobs.com)</p>
<p>Cruise ships offer so many part-time positions, from daycare to bartending, check out the website above and see if any might be up your alley.</p>
<p>I have friends that have bartended on cruise ships in the past, and while it can be a time-intensive job and crazy environment, it allowed them to travel and cross off many bucket list destinations.</p>
<p>10. PHOTOGRAPHER/VIDEOGRAPHER</p>
<p>You might not start out making money right away, but you can definitely get comped/sponsored stays in exchange for amazing photos, drone photography, or video edits.</p>
<p>And you don’t necessarily need a large following on social media if the company just wants the content upfront, but you definitely need to be professional in your approach and build a resume.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>I hope this post helps! Feel free to post any more suggestions and firsthand experiences in the comments below. And now, for some words of encouragement:</p>
<p>This photo might represent the scenario for every twenty-something out there with a multitude of options and passions, but only two feet to work with.</p>
<p>I admire those who got to 80 years old and tried their hand at 3 different careers, fulfilling 3 different areas of their lives.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re meant to do the same thing every day for the next 60 years, call it a life, and die.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re all so talented and too dynamic to have just a single story written about our lives.</p>
<p>Stepping out on faith is scary. But what&#8217;s scarier is the amount of people that take their dreams to the grave with them.</p>
<p>Because they sat around waiting on their parents&#8217; approval. On the perfect amount of savings. On their partner&#8217;s situation to get better.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing selfish about pursuing a life that makes you wildly excited about Monday mornings.</p>
<p>Anybody who tries to tell you otherwise isn&#8217;t the kind of energy you should be surrounding yourself with.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to stop seeking approval from those with entrepreneurial minds but an elementary work ethic.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve said it before and I&#8217;ll say it again. Our dreams are all different, but our need for fulfillment is the same.</p>
<p>When was the last time you did something that truly made you feel worthy?</p>
<p>Worthiness isn&#8217;t birthed overnight. And self-confidence might be the longest and most unstable road in the world. But anything worth having in life requires working towards it daily.</p>
<p>Financial stability. A happy marriage. A healthy heart and body.</p>
<p>So maybe you&#8217;re stuck in the middle of a crossroad but you&#8217;re on the verge of turning your WHYs into WHY NOTs.</p>
<p>The universe always conspires in your favor when your work ethic meets it halfway.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to my fellow dreamers. May you forever continue to be anything but normal <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f918-1f3fe.png" alt="🤘🏾" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em><span style="color: #808080;">Dear Alyne is a World Citizen and has been to 72 countries around over the Globe. She is a WU customer and guest blogger who we’ve teamed up with. Follow along with her adventures, here:</span> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dearalyne/">https://www.instagram.com/dearalyne/</a>    </em></p>
<p>After traveling to 70 countries, the number one question I get is this: <strong>How do you afford to travel so much?</strong></p>
<p>You might think I have rich parents, a high paying job, or a generous boyfriend. But the truth is, I had just one thing… a burning desire to travel!</p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-6207 aligncenter" src="https://www.westernunion.com/blog/relaunch/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2018/05/IMG_5794-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></p>
<p>All of us have priorities, and when I was 17, travel and saving money were mine. So I had to be strategic. I had to make money, and I somehow had to save it! And so it began. I chose an affordable college that I knew I could graduate from without debt. I got a job at a grocery store making $7.25 an hour; minimum wage. Every time I bought something, I had to decide “…is this worth an hour of work? 5 hours of work? 10 Hours of work?”. If it was a $20 dinner, that meant 3 hours of work! If it was new running shoes, that would have been $75 or 10 hours of work. That’s why I ate at home and kept my old running shoes for all 4 years of university!</p>
<p><strong>For transportation</strong>, I chose an old free bike over buying a car, because a bike is practically free, and a car comes with the extra costs of gas, repairs parking, and insurance! That’s a lot of money!</p>
<p><strong>For food</strong>, instead of eating at restaurants with friends, I choose to eat simple foods at home. Groceries can add up quickly, so I made sure to always base the meals cooked at home on seasonal fruits and vegetables that were on sale each week. That way I could have fresh food AND affordable prices, and be able to save even more money to use on what I loved: travel! Remember: when you eat out even a few times a week it can add up to hundreds of dollars quite quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Last of all, accommodation</strong>. I chose to live in a room that was cheaper than everywhere else in order to save money on rent. I even used my old sleeping bag as a blanket! While the house I lived in was old, I loved its charm, and what I loved even more was how much money I was able to save on rent every month.</p>
<p>Each of our situations is different and as simple as it sounds here, we all know saving money isn’t easy. Every time I wanted to buy something I had an inner struggle, and I had to keep my long-term goal in mind. Did I want a nice new winter coat? Or did I want an extra $100 to save for Egypt? Do you want the new iPhone? Or do you want a flight to see Paris for the first time?</p>
<h3>Let&#8217;s just say I never bought an iPhone until I was 27.</h3>
<h3>But I did visit Paris!</h3>
<p>All the time, people want to know. “How can I afford to travel?”, and<strong> the answer is simple: It’s a choice</strong>. You have to choose to save money or travel over everything else. Day after day. Time after time. Thanks to this mentality, I was able to save around $3000 each school year, and because I backpack and travel on a shoestring, that would last me my entire summer vacation &#8211; up to 3 months!</p>
<p>Of course I&#8217;m coming from a position of privilege. Not everyone is able to make $7.25 an hour, that&#8217;s a lot in some countries! But if we&#8217;re going to be honest, I have friends all over the world who make only a few hundred dollars a month, and because they want to travel more than anything, they find ways to make it happen.</p>
<p><strong>We all need something to look forward to, and for me, that&#8217;s travel</strong>. For me, travel is not a relaxing  beach vacation, it&#8217;s a necessity. So I make it happen. No matter what.</p>
<p>When something is more important to you than what you eat, what you drive, or where you live… then you&#8217;ll find a way to afford it.</p>
<p>Let us know how you save to travel below, and see you on the road!</p>
