I'm Charlotte and in today's video (like the title might have told you),

我是夏洛特，在今天的視頻中（就像標題可能告訴你的那樣），

I want to address something that several people have asked me before

我想解決幾個人以前問過的問題

And that is: How do you survive abroad when you're on a tight budget?

那就是：在預算緊張的情況下，您如何在國外生存？

Like you might have known (or not…) I started my travels and living abroad when I just graduated

就像您可能知道（或不知道……哈哈）一樣，我剛畢業就開始了旅行和出國生活

I didn't have a large amount of money, but of course I had to save up for my flight ticket and have some savings

我沒有很多錢，但是我當然要存機票以節省一些錢

just to be safe, you know. If it wouldn't work out and I wouldn't find a job abroad.

為了安全起見，你知道。 如果無法解決，我也不會在國外找到工作。

But once being abroad, I found out that there are several ways that you could survive

但是一旦出國，我發現您可以通過多種方式生存

while spending almost no money

而幾乎沒有花錢

And I'm going to tell you more in this video!

我將在此視頻中告訴您更多！

How to live abroad on a tight budget

如何在預算緊張的情況下生活在國外

The first thing on my list is the one that I experienced for myself

我名單上的第一件事是我自己經歷的

And that is: you can survive abroad while working in a hostel or guesthouse.

那就是：您可以在旅館或旅館工作時在國外生存。

It's not really working for money, in my case at least

並不是真的為了錢而工作，至少就我而言

It was some kind of work exchange deal, where I would work for about 2 to 3 hours, 5 days a week

這是一種工作交換協議，我每週工作5天，大約需要2到3個小時

And in exchange I would get a bed in a 6-person room

作為交換，我會在6人的房間裡鋪床

I would also get some free rice and noodles every day

我每天也會免費吃米飯和麵條

I thought it was a really good deal. Especially because I was young, I was a student…

我認為這是非常不錯的交易。特別是因為我很小，所以我還是一個學生...

I mean… not that I'm old now but… You know what I mean?

我的意思是……不是我現在已經老了，而是……你知道我的意思嗎？

It was just such an amazing way when I did it in Seoul, to connect with people

當我在首爾與人們建立聯繫時，這真是一種了不起的方式

I also had roommates, kind of in the same situation as me. They were also on a tight budget

我也有室友，情況和我一樣。他們的預算也很緊張

We had great times together, going out in the middle of the night for karaoke or just having a nice meal

我們在一起度過了美好的時光，半夜出去玩卡拉OK或一頓美餐

If you think about it, for only 2 to 3 hours of work a day, usually in the morning

如果考慮一下，通常每天早上只工作2至3個小時

The rest of the time you're completely free and you don't have to spend anything on accommodation

在剩下的時間裡，您完全有空，無需花任何錢在住宿上

and if you have enough with rice and noodles, you're all set to go and to survive there as long as you want.

如果您有足夠的米飯和麵條，那麼您就可以隨時在那裡生存並生存。

Another way for you to live abroad would be for you to look around for scholarships

您居住在國外的另一種方式是讓您四處尋找獎學金

Because I know that so many countries are eager to have foreign students studying at their universities

因為我知道許多國家渴望讓外國學生在大學學習

And they have so many programs set in place to offer a lot of benefits to international students

他們設置了許多課程，為國際學生帶來很多好處

So it's really worth it. If you have a country in mind,

因此，這確實值得。如果您有一個國家的想法，

just check online if they have any interesting universities with scholarships

只是在線檢查他們是否有任何有獎學金的有趣大學

I know for Taiwan for example, I think they offer at least 2000 full scholarships every year.

以台灣為例，我認為他們每年至少提供2000份全額獎學金。

It depends from country to country and university to university if they will also pay something for your accommodation

如果他們還為您的住宿支付一些費用，則視國家/地區和大學而定。

I went to Sweden for my Erasmus program. I remember they helped me out and gave me 300 euros every month to pay for my accommodation.

我去瑞典參加了伊拉斯mus計劃。我記得他們幫助了我，每月給我300歐元，以支付住宿費用。

It was more expensive than that but still… that's a huge help every month

比這還貴，但仍然……每個月都有很大幫助

If you have a country in mind where you want to go for a few years and if you want to learn something at the same time,

如果您想在一個國家里呆幾年，並且想同時學習一些東西，

and get a degree, I really recommend you to look into their scholarships

並獲得學位，我真的建議您研究他們的獎學金

My third point is a little bit related to the first one, but while I was living in Taiwan,

我的第三點與第一點有些關係，但是當我住在台灣時，

there was a hostel that reached out to me and asked me if I wanted to manage their whole social media

有一家旅館向我伸出手，問我是否要管理他們的整個社交媒體

and do the advertising. They were pretty new, and nobody heard about them,

並做廣告。 它們很新，沒有人聽說過它們，

and they wanted someone to make videos about their place and things like that

他們希望有人製作有關他們的位置和類似內容的視頻

In exchange I would get a small single room in their big house.

作為交換，我將在他們的大房子裡得到一個小的單人間。

That was definitely interesting. I didn't do it because I already found my two awesome roommates

那絕對是有趣的。 我之所以沒有這樣做，是因為我已經找到了我的兩個很棒的室友

and I didn't want to leave that place. But if you have any kind of skills,

而且我不想離開那個地方。 但是如果你有任何技能，

if you're very good in communication or in advertising or videomaking, or anything that you think can help a hostel,

如果您在交流，廣告或視頻製作方面非常出色，或者您認為可以幫助旅館的任何事情，

you can definitely try to approach them and ask them if they want to do an exchange:

您絕對可以嘗試與他們聯繫，並詢問他們是否要進行交流：

your work for their accommodation.

您的住宿工作。

These were three points that I had personal experience with, but I saw some other possibilities from friends around me

這是我個人經歷的三點，但我發現周圍朋友的其他可能性

One of those is for example becoming a nanny somewhere. If you like working with children,

例如，其中之一就是在某個地方成為保姆。 如果您喜歡與孩子一起工作，

this is a good way to immediately integrate a family and learn a lot about the culture, the language, everything

這是立即整合家庭並學習很多文化，語言和一切的好方法

It could be very good if you quickly want to become part of the country and integrate well

如果您想迅速成為該國的一部分並很好地融入社會，那可能會很好。

Because you will literally live in the house with that family and take care of the children

因為你真的會和那個家庭住在一起，並照顧孩子

I have heard mixed stories about it though, there are people who absolutely love it and who really like their families

我聽到過很多關於它的故事，有些人絕對喜歡它，並且非常喜歡他們的家人

But it depends from person to person, if you like children or not, and also if you find the right family or not

但是，這取決於人與人之間的關係，是否喜歡孩子以及是否找到合適的家庭

If you are someone who likes children, I think becoming a nanny could definitely be a good option

如果您是喜歡孩子的人，我認為成為保姆絕對是一個不錯的選擇

to live in a country without any expenses.

住在一個國家而沒有任何費用。

Something that I really considered doing for a while was doing a work exchange in a temple

我確實考慮過一段時間的事情是在寺廟裡進行工作交流

There are so many temples in Asia and sometimes they need volunteers, so you would basically help them clean,

亞洲有很多廟宇，有時他們需要志願者，所以您基本上可以幫助他們清潔，

help them prepare the food, do some gardening and all kind of tasks around the temple

幫助他們準備食物，做些園藝工作以及在聖殿周圍進行各種任務

You will also participate in meditation and things like that, and in exchange they will offer you a roof and food

您還將參加冥想之類的事情，作為交換，他們將為您提供屋頂和食物

I think that's an amazing deal, if you need a break for a while, for a few months

我認為這是一個了不起的交易，如果您需要休息一會兒幾個月

You're tired of your life and you need to find yourself again

您已經厭倦了生活，需要重新找回自己

I think, doing this kind of temple work can really be healthy for you

我認為，做這樣的廟宇工作對您真的很健康

The last thing on my little list is: You could volunteer on a farm.

我的清單上的最後一件事是：您可以在農場當志願者。

I have heard several people I know do this and usually it would only be for a few weeks or a few months

我聽過幾個我認識的人的消息，通常只需要幾個星期或幾個月

That you would live on that farm with those people and they will feed you, give you a bed

你會和那些人住在那個農場，他們會養活你，給你鋪床

And in exchange you will help them with some seasonal work

作為交換，您將幫助他們進行一些季節性工作

I think that if you're not scared of getting your hands dirty and of doing some physical work,

我認為，如果您不怕弄髒手和進行體力勞動，

Working on a farm can also be an amazing experience abroad while you don't need to spend any money.

在國外工作時，無需花錢，在農場工作也可能會是很棒的經歷。

That was my list for today. I hope I didn't forget anything.

那是我今天的清單。 我希望我不會忘記任何事情。

If you have any other ideas or if you have a genius tip of how to live abroad on a very small budget,

如果您有其他想法，或者您對如何以很少的預算來國外生活有個天才的建議，

Feel free to share it with everyone in the comments!

隨時在評論中與大家分享！

I also was thinking about maybe making a future video about jobs that I did in foreign countries

我也在考慮也許將來製作關於我在國外所做的工作的視頻

while not speaking the local language

不說當地語言

So let me know if you would like to hear about that too

所以，請讓我知道您是否也想听聽

I hope you just have a great day and see you very soon.

希望您今天過得愉快，並很快見到您。

Bye bye!

再見！
