Working as you travel enables you to meet locals and other travellers. What do you think are the best jobs to pay your way as you travel around the world?

1. Internet marketing (you won't meet people doing that but you'll have the time to get out and do stuff where you can meet people).
2. Teaching English (provided English is your first language).
3. Working in a bar.
4. Seasonal work such fruit picking.
5. Working on boats (A lot of people go to the south of France and work cleaning boats etc)

What are some other options for travellers?

I have a few friends who do that... 5/6 months on a boat, 5/6 working at a ski or snowboarding resort and have couple of months where ever... one advantage is that they hardly ever pay any rent as the cabin is free on the boat and so is the ski chalet.

Yeah, good stuff here.  Writing is a good job to have while traveling.  It can basically be done from anywhere and you get some great ideas for material while on the road.  Also, I've read that in a lot of Asian countries, wives are neglected and there is a burgeoning market for male gigolos.  Can't really think of a better job than that!
