To be a translator, you will, of course, have to speak a second language fluently. Translation opportunities are everywhere. You could translate menus for restaurants, work for a tour company and translate for people who speak your language, or simply find translating jobs online.

An au pair is a live-in babysitter that is hired by a family to help the kids learn a foreign language and help with household chores. In return, you have a place to live, food, and income. If you love kids, this would be a great way to see a foreign country and experience its culture first-hand.

If you can play a musical instrument, it can bring you a lot of money. You can play anywhere, from street corners to coffee shops and clubs.
