Many of us wish we could get paid to travel. What we don’t always understand is that there are multiple ways to make that happen. Our guest for this episode is Miss Kodee Cloninger, a 26-year-old jet-setter who lets work opportunities take her overseas. Kodee shares how she found her various positions in different countries and gives us some ideas about how to look for temporary and seasonal work abroad. Kodee’s opinions are her own, unaffiliated with any of the organizations she references.
Kodee Cloninger was born in the beautiful state of Montana and has always had the desire to see and know all the beautiful places outside its borders. She focused her studies on politics, history, and international economics and has leveraged that passion to work abroad in a number of ways since college. Her adventures and opportunities have taken her to multiple Latin American countries in the last few years, and new doors are constantly opening for her, beckoning her to more corners of the world.
