Backpacking<\/h1>\n

Solo adventures between Southeast Asia, South America and Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

My passion for backpacking began in Thailand in 2018 and has since taken me through over 40 countries\u2014alone, with a backpack, and with an open heart. From 3-month trips through Southeast Asia to 6 weeks in Peru and Bolivia, and tours of Morocco. Here you'll find my backpacking travelogues with specific routes, budget tips, and safety advice for solo female travelers.<\/p>\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> My must-have for single women: A door wedge and the TripWhistle app. Two little helpers that bring a lot of peace of mind.<\/div>\n\n

Working as a waiter in Restaurants, Caf\u00e9s & Bars\ud83c\udf79\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Definitely one of my favorite jobs while traveling. When I arrived in Australia, I could barely speak a word of English, let alone understand the Aussie accent \ud83d\ude33! Through constant customer contact, I quickly learned the language & made new contacts \u2600\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Salary: $20 - $27 per hour \ud83d\udcb0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Cleaning staff in Motels & Hostels\ud83e\uddfd<\/h3>\n

The most common job for backpackers! In the hostel, I had to clean for about 2 hours a day & got free accommodation for it. Definitely not the best job\u2026 It's smarter to work in a hotel or motel, as you usually get an hourly wage there! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Salary: $20 - $23 per hour Hostels -> free accommodation<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Working in a Plastic Factory\u2620\ufe0f<\/h3>\n

Oh, I hate factory work. Never again! My task was to click the clips onto the bread box lids all the time, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week \ud83d\ude05. But I could make decent money there as a backpacker!<\/p>\n

Salary: $22 per hour \ud83d\udcb0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Working on the Potato Field\ud83e\udd54<\/h3>\n

You wouldn't believe how fast the potatoes shoot through the machines. Here we had to quickly sort out everything that wasn't a potato. The best part: Listen to podcasts or music \ud83c\udfb6. Here, too, I worked at least 10 hours a day.<\/p>\n

Salary: $20 per hour \ud83d\udcb0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Working on the Kiwi Field\ud83e\udd5d<\/h3>\n

I had to pick the kiwis that didn't have the right measurements and drop them on the ground. Easy job! The best part: Occasionally, I could see nests with very cute little birds \ud83d\ude0d. Plus, I could chat with other people about everything during work. Downside: Work gets canceled if it rains! \u2614\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Salary: $19 per hour \ud83d\udcb0<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

My Shuttle Service Job\ud83d\ude90<\/h3>\n

Most of the time I got this job directly at the hostel. My task was to pick up the new guests from the bus stop. Again, easy! I had to drive 2 times a day for 10 minutes each, and in return, I didn't pay anything for my accommodation! Definitely better than cleaning \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n

Working in the Outback\ud83e\udd98<\/h3>\n

My absolute favorite job! Here, I gained the most experience! The Outback is beautiful & has so much to offer. I got to know handling cattle, shooting, quad biking, motorcycling, the \"farmer culture,\" and so much more... You just have to experience it! \ud83d\ude0d<\/p>\n

Salary: $15 per hour + free accommodation + provisions<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Working as an Au-Pair \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67\u200d\ud83d\udc66<\/h3>\n

I didn't do my training as an educator for nothing! Working with children is still incredibly fun for me \ud83e\udd70! Plus, my host family was super lovable & I felt completely comfortable!<\/p>\n

Fact is:<\/h2>\n

\"I learned incredibly much on my travels, and I wouldn't want to miss any of the jobs. The time was incredibly exciting & thrilling! Of course, I also had to get my hands dirty from time to time \u2013 but it was worth it! I would do it again anytime!\"<\/h2> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
