Artsy jobs for the creative types

● Actor / Impersonator / Model — you may have heard some stories about 'rent a foreigner' programs in China, where companies hire non-Chinese people to give an international appearance to an event or company. Other countries will cast non-locals for their language skills, their looks, or for any number of other reasons. Your best bet here is to network, learn some of the local language, and be willing to audition for gigs at a moment's notice. Doing related work for local companies gets your foot in the door.

● Artist — there are a million ways to create art, and some are easier than others as a nomad. Creating murals, illustrations, and other scenes in exchange for meals or places or stay is one thing, but getting paid is (usually) a bit more challenging. Getting into painting, for example, means having to figure out a way to obtain paints and canvases, then transport your works with you until you sell them. Digital artists have an easier time, but artists of all kinds can find an audience on deviantart.com, artstation.com. Some artists to look up include homsweethom.com, krishancoupland.co.uk, derekalvarezart.com, and alexmathers.net.

● Drone video producer — it may be one tool in the videographer's suitcase, but a solid drone offers a dramatic perspective on the world. Be aware that a growing number of countries and regions are officially restricting or prohibiting the use of drones. One excellent resource to keep track of these rules is at drone-traveller.com, but the forums for your brand of drone would also be a good place to research limitations as well.

● Game developer (board, card, or video) — whatever kind of game you want to make, there's a publisher to find or a bunch or details to set up. You're more likely to work remotely for a company, though you might also find yourself making games independently and using Kickstarter to fund their production.

● Graphic designer — make words come to life, or just make the boxes, bags, book covers, logos and other things that you're hired to make.

● Making jewelry or crafts — some nomads do this using local materials to save on costs, make the things look more exotic, or maybe even to charge more for the end product. You'll need to stay on top of production, shipping, customer service, and any number of details that can be more challenging while traveling. You might choose to work with locals, having them create the jewelry or crafts while you focus on the marketing, shipping and fulfillment. Sell your offerings on Etsy, eBay, or your own website. One example: 22stars.com.

● Musician — whether you're busking, performing in a band, DJ'ing, or are recording projects, there are plenty of opportunities to make a name for yourself while traveling. One great example: janekgwizdala.com/home.

● Performers — belly dance, hip hop, hula hoop, poi, and burlesque performers may have an uphill battle to live the nomadic lifestyle. On one hand, anything 'exotic' like this may be a natural fit for the events and festivals in the areas where you travel.
