Travel the world
How I Got Paid to Travel the World as an International Nanny
My year travelling the globe and getting paid!
Have you ever dreamed of being paid to travel the world? Me too. I used to sit in my window-less city office and daydream about visiting every country I could think of and even better, getting paid to do so. It became so all-consuming that I quit my law job and bought a one-way ticket to Greece.
I sold everything I owned and moved in with my parents for several weeks to attempt to save those last few dollars I was planning to live on indefinitely, or at least until I figured out my next move.
When my departure day came I jumped on my flight to Athens without a doubt in my mind that everything was going to work out. And you guessed it- it did!
I travelled around Greece, Egypt, Turkey and Malta with my best friend for eight weeks, then with some savings still in my pocket, I ventured back to Norway, where I had previously lived as an exchange student. I stayed with my Norwegian bestie and with a Norwegian family I had been an au-pair for while living Oslo, what felt like only-yesterday-ago. Here, only three months into my ‘indefinitely travelling the world’ plan, I conceded I needed a job.
