Some that allowed you to follow your passions, while also allowing you to follow your dream of traveling or living abroad?

Below are four jobs you probably wouldn’t think about as “remote.” But with the advent of computers and almost worldwide WiFi, anything is now possible.

Fitness Trainer

The biggest obstacle here is to find a new base of clients. You can do this by putting up flyers on message boards, sending out posts on social media or just talking to people in person at coffee shops or co-working spaces. Though, if you are wanting to keep some of your older clients, then that could be possible too! Simply run your clients that are back home through exercises and workouts via a computer screen.

Writers have been traveling for inspiration seemingly since the dawn of literary time. So why not join the movement and take your writing skills to a new town, country or continent.

So if you are experiencing a writer’s block, pack your suitcase and hop on the next outbound plane.

This can cover a wide range of areas. From personal shopping and travel planning, to something more unique, like planning your perfect engagement.
