How do I finance a trip through Latin America. Are there easy ways for english speakers to find work?

DoctorB asked:

I am determined to travel throughout Latina America but need to find ways to work while traveling to finance the trip.

#2 Enrique on 10.27.08 at 6:24 pm: I suggest you to finance most of your trip from your savings in US $. You can work as English teacher in any Latin America country, but you are not going to get enough money to travel a lot.

You may not be allowed to work without a permit, but schools – always in need of native speakers – may/can/will find a way around it.

As far as a job I don’t know exactly what part of Latin America you are going to but while I was on vacation in Mexico I was offered a job at a Howard Johnson Hotel on the beach making $60.00 a day which is awesome pay because most people make $50.00- $100.00 a week even with a degree in mexico. Hope this helps. I didn’t take the job I love my home too much here, but it was interesting.
