Website resources for 'out there' jobs related to travel

Here are some links to travel jobs to get your started:

  1. http://www.transitionsabroad.com/listings/work/shortterm/tourism_hospitality_gap_year_jobs_abroad.shtml – all sorts of jobs, however not particular South America related
  2. http://www.tefl.com/jobs/search.html – currently only 4 language jobs in Mexico; but a lot more in other countries. This job here pays $2000 pesos per month: http://www.tefl.com/jobs/job.html?jo_id=47956; 90km north of Mexico city.
  3. http://www.volunteersouthamerica.net/ – quite long list with links to employers, sorted by country.
  4. http://www.projecttrust.org.uk/Projects.php?p=Teaching – teach English in other countries; however it doesn’t mention whether you get paid or you pay them 😐
  5. http://www.earthwatch.org/expedition/ – this is where you pay to do do the work, however some of the topics seem quite interesting, but it’s also a quite expensive and short experience.

You might get better answers or links if you could give narrow it down to a particular country, so maybe someone could tell from his own experience.

Backdoor Jobs is probably my favourite resource for out of the ordinary job adventures. It includes a variety of different jobs for different people with different backgrounds and experiences. A lot of the jobs listed are leading groups or hiking / trekking, BUT there are a lot of other ones available too.

The owner / writer of the site Michael Landers actually has a book, that I believe is now in its fourth edition. I purchased that book, then gave it to one of my friends. It is quite the resource. Two specific opportunities that I remember from the book where working at a “BioDome” in I believe Arizona, and sailing the Caribbean working as a crew member. The site is a good introduction to what the book has to offer.

All of the organizations / jobs / opportunities listing in the book come with a short description and contact information. If you have the extra money I would recommend purchasing the book.

PLEASE NOTE: As a Canadian, I found a lot of the opportunities were specific to American Citizens. Still, I would highly recommend it for anyone as there are plenty of jobs targeting International People.
