What kind of job is best for me if I want free housing, but not be on a boat. Im thinking a nice posh resort...

Where thiugh? I want to be in a cool bustling city like San Fran, NYC, LVN, or Chicago.

I can't live in some small place like, oh i dont know...

Id like to live in the resort there and be frugal and save while working and getting free rent.

I could start building a business on the side, right?

Au Pair? Any Resort?

What are you trying to do? What skills do you have?

I recently saw an ad or maybe a contest to be a location scout, or travel researcher. Something along those lines. Perhaps that can give you an idea, going around the world scouting cool locations for various projects, or travel arrangements for tourists.

Buy a used mini-van, put a mattress inside, tint the windows, and voila you're set. Shower in the gym in the mornings and keep a gun on you in case shit ever goes South.

Atleast that's how I would do it if I had no other option.

There's probably zero chance you can get free housing at a posh resort, NYC, or SF considering the astronomical prices in those places....unless you're willing to suck dick.

I'd look at Hostels (your best bet), Craigslist (I've seen places offer free board if you manage the place), or Couchsurfing.

Here you go:

https://www.coolworks.com/resort-jobs

This is the best place to find jobs that provide housing. Your not going to get rich but you will get to live in some cool places that many people pay thousands to go on vacation to. I used to do these in national parks. The highest paying jobs will be serving/bartending.

If you want to do this in a big city though you are probably out of luck. Best chance at that is get in with one of the big luxury hotel chains, and then after working there a while look to transfer abroad to one of their sister properties.

This thread has a lot of info:

Off the top of my head don't some Korean teach abroad programs provide free housing?

How about sign up for a 24 hour chain gym and sleep there? Move from gym to gym within each brand so people don't get too suspicious. That's what I'd do where I live and for 30 a month that isn't too bad.

Where would you sleep in the gym? They tend to have cameras or walk thru the building.

Similar to the topic of resort jobs, you can work at an RV campground and they give you a free site in exchange (for government parks) or free site plus $$$.

Also known as a "camp host" you check people in and keep the campsite running.

I considered doing this if my business takes off enough to pay some of my expenses.

Lowkey becoming a park ranger would be awesome.

Not if your name is Pusscrook.

There's a few websites that look for house-sitters which would give you access to a free house temporarily. Usually you just have to walk and feed their dogs or some shit like that. I looked into it briefly, but never actually did it. Can't remember if they pay you for it as well, but it looks like a pretty sweet gig if you can land it.

Teaching abroad is an option, my job in China paid for my apartment and utilities.

Some boarding schools have jobs that pay for you to live on campus.

Post: #17

Cabin crew for the likes of Emirates / Etihad.

Post: #18

Teaching in China: arent you concerned about the Chinese schools screwing you over? Either not paying you, or just firing you. Those jobs sound unstable. Are there any stable positions over there with teaching companies that do not screw over USA teachers?

Working at youth hostel: now that is something I would like to do but it seems like none of them pay very well, right? Those are probably covetted positions. Like bartending jobs. Having a set of tits is probably a requirement...

My school didn't screw me over. Make sure to check reviews online and trust your gut.

Another option Ive heard of is living in a Buddhist monastery. Anybody tried that?

. How about teaching English in Philippines? How does that differ from teaching in China? I heard women in Phillippines can be cheerful and fun to meet and date.

. Years ago I read a topic here about working on mega yachts... Like the ones parked in Fort Lauderdale. I researched it for a while but stopped persuing it because it sounds like the whole culture is about drinking and drugging and being broke in between being on the boats... I can not party like that anymore. But I heard mega yacht work can be lucrative. Also competitive to get the better gigs.

My goal is to save money and not blow money on drinks and drugs. In my spare time I will build an online source of income.

Working on a big cruise ship: I think Id go crazy being stuck on one of those commercial boats and working long slave hours. Is it worth it financially? Can you recommend one of the better cruise lines for making money? I have been on several cruises and did not much like being stranded on a ship with tourists.

Is working on a big cruise ship a sex fest between co workers? It seems like I would work long hours and be drunk and hung over and probably annoyed by coworkers and wanting to leave. Stuck on some boat and living in a closet sized room and sharing it with some weird dude who probably snores. Or maybe he would be a cool guy. Ive heard of people making life long friends after working together on those big ships.

About coolworks: I looked into that one and scanned their forums. It seems like they barely make enough money to survive to afford airfare to their next job. I would not want to skip around every few months from place to place. If I get a "job" it needs to pay enough to survive and I would want to work my way up to manager or something.

Working at a youth hostel would be best. Too bad the only language I speak fluently is English....

How about opportunities in Russia. Id like to screw a bunch of Russian women. Live at a Russian Buddhist temple for free, eat vegetables for free, and screw Russian women who cant speak English...

Moving to an English speaking country to teach English? Good luck haha.. Just go to Thailand or China or South Korea

Well you get the free housing benefit which adds to your wage. A lot of those people are broke between jobs you are right. They are low paying you aren't going to get rich. It's more about the experience. If you don't spend all your money drinking you will save some. Most people do though. It is kind of like summer camp for adults.

If you do this abroad most places all you are going to get is the free housing. Maybe they will let you drink at the hostel bar for free. Not gonna get paid. If you do it in a more westernized country you might get paid but then you probably won't get the free housing.

Hahah. Man if you figure out a way to do this let me know and i'll come join ya. I doubt the Russian Buddhists are going to very amicable to you bringing back girls to bang out in their monasteries though.

Just had another idea, how about being a property manager for an apartment complex? A lot of those guys get to live there for free, and you could do it in any city.

You will be on call at all hours though. This means getting woken up at 3am sometimes to let the drunk tenant in to their apt after they lose their keys and get locked out. Also, helping the old lady next door unclog her toilet will probably be a regular emergency that you will have to deal with a few times per week.

I did this for a few months and it was pretty unhealthy. You can't move around much and if you have a desk job you are not getting nearly enough physical activity. I was sitting at a desk all day and lying down in the truck evenings. Better to get an old motor home or pu camper you can walk around in. An old motor home that runs good is still worth nothing if it's ratty.

Why can't you start doing that right now? If, as you said, you would do this in your spare time in the new location what is stopping you from doing this in your spare time right now?

And if you had searched you would have found this thread: Live and Work Abroad with the Luxury Hotel industry

You haven't answered what skills you have.

It seems like you have unrealistic expectations- a low level job but with good pay and free rent in a resort.

An unskilled labor job is not going to provide both of those- and often not even one of them.
