While I had no intention to work during my Walk About, I hear more and more travelers that are having a different type of approach.

I see 2 categories of people.

The first category includes the Digital Nomads, people that like me are working either for them self or for someone with internet-based activities.
Wherever they go, they just need an internet connection and a PC, and they’ll do their magic to make money.

The other category includes the Work While You Travel (WWYT) folks. They get to a place and pick up any job, from teaching English to giving Yoga class.

But if you plan to stay months and get more in the system, you may want to look for a real local job.
The kind of job you can find written on a piece of paper taped in the window of a small shop.

Believe it or not – those shops are going digital too! So spending some time online can greatly help your job search.

For the super-small-maybe-growing category of WWYT folks, I point our 3 websites that will help you finding a job while in Colombia.
They’re in Spanish, as most of the jobs they advertise but I imagine language should not be a problem if you went that far:

• CompuTrabajo: this is one of the most popular resource for Colombian’s job seekers. It’s simple to use and has lots of offers, that makes it a bit overwhelming.
• Empleos:  as the name suggests, this website has jobs! It’s also very simple and surely a good place to check, and features some nice articles to help you in the job search process. Important to spot there the cultural differences from your own country.
• Puesto: pretty similar to the one above, Puesto has a good selection of low demanding jobs across the country, especially in the big cities like Bogotá and Medellin.

So if you’re looking to stay in Colombia for a while and work, I wish you good luck!
