Hi guys,
I've recently been playing with the idea of a short term stay at another country mainly for the sheer adventure of it. I thought it would best be done while I'm young (23 now) and before I'm weighed down with responsibilities like raising a family and a mid-level corporate job.
I thought what better country to do it in than Brazil. Training bjj at its birthplace needless to sayWith this I'm asking help from you guys on ways to subsidize a trip like that. I think I can pool money for the flight with a bit extra but not really much else.
I have a marketing background am currently working as an account manager for a big advertising firm. I can also teach English and am willing to learn Portuguese.
I've heard of organizations like AIESEC which offer global internships. A friend of mine also has also been offered a job in the hostel he stayed at as apparently hostels are big on fluent English speakers. Basically I'm looking for a part time job that will either pay for my there, or help me out with food, accommodation and the like.
I'm exploring all those options and Id like to know if you guys have other ideas to make this adventure less painful on the wallet. Id really appreciate any feedback I can get on this
Thanks guys!
