Best Way to Travel the World/Be a Digital Nomad

Committed to traveling internationally through Asia and Europe for a few months beginning at the start of the year in 2023. Want to have a few thousand saved up for the trip, but would like to hear ideas on some other ways to make some extra money while traveling? I plan on staying in cheap hostels the whole time, and spending the most time in cheaper places. I have no coding experience but have considered potentially learning SQL/Database skills to potentially try some freelancing, as I don't think I'd have enough time to learn full-stack software development skills. Not looking for something that will make millions just something where I could earn $10-20 an hour. I'm currently 25 is asset manament sales at a top 5 asset manager. I've always wanted to take sometime to get out a travel again studying abroad gave me the travel itch that never left and feel like I'm in a career that wouldn't be too difficult to hop back into upon returning, but obviously am aware doing this won't help my career, but believe the experience will be worth it. Would love to hear what travel ideas or extra income generating ideas people on here would have. Thanks!

With your existing skills in AM, try getting a contract within your industry? That should be a possibility and you could use England as a homebase (Ltd. Co and tax residence), while you travel Europe and Asia.

 

Have considered this as well. CoL in US is too high and thought of getting freelance job or working part time for a digital business while living in France  
 

Anyone try doing language class coaching to students abroad or resume prep?
