Best Jobs Overseas With Little To No Experience
1. Working On Superyachts
If you want to travel the world, get paid and not stay in one place then working on a superyacht is a great way to do it. This position allows you to make good money, travel the world and make great connections along the way. It also requires little to no experience!

Once you are hired on a yacht they will train you and mold you the way they want you to be. It does take some investment on your end. In the beginning, start by getting your STCW 95 and your ENG 1, which are certificates that say you are safe to work at sea.
These can easily be obtained within a week and once you have them you are free to get a job on almost any yacht anywhere within the world. There is also a great network that will help you find work.

2. Teaching English Online
The internet has changed the world in so many ways and opened up travel for many more people. If you want to travel the world and make your own itinerary you might want to think about teaching online. Skooli is a great way to be your own boss, make your own hours and earn money while traveling.
You don’t need any experience in teaching, although it does help. All they require is that English is your mother tongue and to pass a few tests before you are able to teach. It is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to make their own hours. You are able to pick how much you work, where you work from and what hours you want to work.
Giving you the flexibility you need to live and travel abroad.
If you are interested in teaching English online from Skooli you can find out more here.
3. Working in Australia
Australia has long had open borders to allow foreigners to come in and spend a year abroad, by providing a one-year working visa.
However, you are not able to fly over and do any job you would like, as they do have some requirements on which jobs you are actually able to take. But most of the jobs they allow you to work require no experience.
The only requirements they have is your age and what passport you have. They require you to be under 30, but if you are under 30 it is a great way to for living abroad for a year while you are able to still earn an income.

4. Teaching English In Asia
Teaching English in Asia has always been one of the best jobs for living abroad. It does require you to invest a little bit of your time with obtaining your TEFL license, but there are great programs out there that will help you get your TEFL and set you up with a teaching job right out of the course.
The course takes about 4 weeks and is usually done in the country you choose to live and work in. Every country has a different monthly wage, but it is usually more than enough to live in that country and save money while you are working.
So you will have money saved up for continued travel once you are finished with your contract. Travel and Teaching pretty much go hand and hand once you have your TEFL.
5. House/Pet Sitting
This job doesn’t pay, but you are able to work overseas with no experience, and I technically wouldn’t call it “work”. House Sit Match is a great way to travel for free. You are able to pick the places you want to travel to and see what house sitting or pet sitting jobs are available.
For more information on Housesitting check out Trusted Housesitters.
As I said, it is an unpaid gig, but you are able to have free accommodation in exchange for watching someone’s pet while they are on vacation. It is also great because you get to pick the duration of your stay. It is a fabulous way of offsetting your costs of travel.
If you teach online or have another online job, it makes it even better. There is a small fee to sign up for house sitting, but soon as you get your first job it will pay for its self.
6. Aupair
If you enjoy kids and want an overseas job with no experience, a great solution is to become an Aupair. An Aupair is a live-in nanny. You get to pick the country and where you go, along with how many kids you are willing to nanny, how many hours you are wanting to work and what environment you will be set up with.
Most sites work a lot like Tinder, but rather than matching guys and girls together, it matches families with Aupair’s. You can search for families in the areas you would want to work in. Most of the time you are given room and board and a small stipend as you work.
Every situation is different, so you have to find the right environment for what you are looking for. Being an Aupair is a great way to get a local feel for the cultural since you will be living with a family abroad.

7. Worldpackers
Worldpackers is a community of travelers helping other travelers. It is a great network to join to if you are looking to work overseas with no experience. There are thousands of jobs listed all over the world, giving you plenty of options in almost any location.
Not only are there plenty of jobs to choose from there are also plenty of different time frames you can pick from, so if you only have a short period of time to fill there are options for you as well.
The only downside of this program is most of the positions are not paid, though you are compensated with free room and board. So it is a great way to travel cheaply. Also, it is only $49 to join and if you use my promo code below it saves you $10.

8. Volunteering
Volunteering is another way to give back to a community while working overseas with no experience. You typically won’t be able to earn any money from these positions, but they will likely pay you in room and board, allowing you to live abroad with very little cost.
It is also great for anyone who wants to follow their passion, whether it be working with elephants, turtles, sloths or helping to build schools or houses for those in need.
There are so many options to choose from that you are sure to find something that spikes your interest.
If you are interested in finding volunteer work this is a great place to start
9. Ski Resort
If you love being outdoors and love the snow, ski resorts are always looking for international travelers to hospitality positions.
There are so many jobs to choose from; anywhere from working in the restaurants, teaching ski or snowboarding lessons and even being a lift operator. The best part is you are able to work overseas with no experience and get paid.
Most mountains will sponsor your visa to work for the season and will even help you obtain it. Enjoying a winter gap year is a great way to move abroad, earn some cash and have some great fun while you do it.
Be sure to check out Goabroad for more information on where you are able to go.
10. Start a Blog
Ok, this one takes a little more time to get set-up and actually make money from. So it is not an instant fix. You won’t start making money right away or even in the first year.
But starting a blog can be a great way to live abroad, travel where you want and make money while you do so. Starting this blog has been life-changing for me and has allowed me to live and travel where I want to.
The best part about a blog is, you can start one on whatever you are interested in, it doesn’t have to be travel-related.
Let your true passion shine in your blog and start one about what you love.
If you live for horses, why not start a blog about horses. There are food blogs, gardening blogs, woodworking blogs, and organization blogs, just to name a few.
The choices are endless when it comes to starting a blog.
However, if you want to treat your blog like a business and actually make money from it, there is a lot you need to learn.
I highly recommend taking the fast lane blogging course. It truly changed my blog and sky rocketed my traffic and income.
I am now able to make money from my passion and continue to travel the world.
11. Freelance Digital Employee
If you have any computer skills what so ever you are most likely able to find work on Fiverr. From freelance content writing, SEO, graphic designer to even writing people’s dating profiles on bumble.
There is something for everyone on Fiverr and for all skill levels. You are able to create your own hours and work as much or as little as you would like.
It is also a great place to find freelance employees for anything you want to outsource. Be sure to check out Fiverr and see what work you can find.

You just have to get out and do it. Move abroad and see where life leads you. The hard part is starting and leaving the US, once you do that everything else will fall into place.

Gary
I’m 63 and looking for work in a new country. Most of the websites don’t offer jobs I could do. I would love to live out my senior years in a place like Denmark, Sweden,Norway., but jobs for a 63 year old seem scarce. Any suggestions
Peter Pan Traveler
That depends on what your skills are and how much money you will need to survive. You are picking pretty expensive countries to live out your best years.
Maybe consider moving somewhere cheaper, where you won’t have that high of a living cost. Fiverr and Upwork are great sites to freelance and make money with skills you already have. I hope that helps.

Brianna
How do I apply for a job on a yacht? What’s the first step to take? Please respond.
Peter Pan Traveler
The first step would be to get your STCW 95, you can’t step foot on a yacht until you get this. After that, finding a job on a yacht should be easy.
