How would it be, if you travel while earning some extra bucks in your pocket? Well, it’s definitely possible, through Freelancing. Here are some useful tips for you that would help you work while you travel:

Pick Up Bulk Work and Pack Your Bags: Before you head towards your dream destination, you should be clear of what to work on. You can easily find numerous clients on an online creative service market place, where the client gives a deadline for the work to be delivered. Try to get work that has a long deadline; may be a week or so. Go through every single assignment allotted to you and see if it requires some research or not.

Make a Schedule for Yourself: Most travelers would not like to do so but if you can maintain a routine (not a strict one though) work will be accomplished smoothly. If you decide to work while you travel and for instance, if you are a writer, you would know there is nothing like working at a wonderful location during the early hours of the day. Even if you are not a writer, get up early and work for a couple of hours. You actually feel great when you are done with bit of work and have the rest of the day with you to enjoy it in your own way.

Make the most of your train journey:
There are tons of things that you can indulge in while traveling in a train to make the best of your journey. Read, listen to music, play games, watch movies, eat (yes! it is, especially for foodies) or simply work on your laptop. However, if you make up your mind to devote a couple of hours to work, prepare your research, if required beforehand. This is because, the internet connection might fluctuate. 

Few Tips for Experts


A common problem that a traveler cum freelancer might face is getting proper internet connection. Well, there is a solution for those whose work can be managed without the internet.

Choose Your Clients Wisely:
Let’s take an example of a writer who needs to compose an article on a certain topic. First of all, if you have a choice of selecting a client (which you have from a freelancing site), with whom you would work as a freelancer choose a client whose requirements are similar to your past work experience. Getting engaged with a client from a new genre will take you time to understand the requirement and deliver work quickly.

Do Your Homework: This tip is only for expert freelancers. If you are an expert in your field of work, just jot down the important points from your research. Your rich experience will be useful as you know how only few points can guide you to complete your tasks without internet connection.

Do these tips excite you to work as a freelancer while you travel? Are the hills calling you or have you already imagined yourself lazing on the bed of the beach with a laptop on your lap?
