Im going to be traveling around from Germany into Spain (where Im really looking to work for a few months). Im willing to do pretty much any type of work (clean, cook, wash dishes, pick, farm stuff, etc) that uses or dosnt use my education. Im also a native english speaker with spanish near fluent. The only problem is I have no work visa.
If you know of anything, or have any advice for working while traveling PLEASE dont hesitate to let me know. HEre or by email
Thanks!

It seems loads of people enter the UK and work illegally...why not try it. Spain will pay very little...youre competing with the Spanish who need those jobs even if they pay badly, and loads of Brits who want a life in the sun...and struggle to get work.
If you go to Wallstreet, remember not to be like that Investment Biker bloke.

During the harvesting season you shouldn't have any problems finding work on a farm. Farmers in W Europe have great difficutly finding workers, as the locals prefer the dole over temp. lowpaid jobs. However, you will be working alongside Eastern Europeans with accordingly low wages. Don't get caught!
Don't know whether this would work in Spain. I know for sure it will in Germany.

Try the postal service wherever you are. They often use extra casual workers to meet demand. Xmas is their busiest time of year. In the UK they now use agencies to supply casual staff but if you contact the sorting office they'll tell you which agency they use. Good luck.

Teach languages!!
There's plenty of expats in Spain who want and need to learn at least basic Spanish. And English is taught as a second language here, so there are plenty of kids who need extra tuition out of school.
I found this info on a forum from 2005 so I guess rates are higher now. The going rate for our tiny village in Andalucia is 15€ per hour.

Teaching in Madrid, Capital (and immediate surroundings):
Generally speaking:
Laboral contract (legally working with social security & taxes paid by academy/employer):
in academy: 10-12€ per hour
in-company: 12€ per hour.
Autónomo (legally registered freelance/self employed where you are paying your own social security & taxes, and you invoice the client)
Through an agency: 18-20€ per hour
Direct contract: 25-35€ per hour (in company)
private students: 18-20€ per hour
Under the table (a.k.a. working illegally*, no social security payments and not paying taxes):
in-academy/agency: 12-15€ per hour
on your own: 10-20€ per hour

Hi Tim! No worryes just pop down Spain and you will see that if you keen in working (expecially hospitality related jobs) the owners of restaurants and cafes' usually don't bother "too much" at looking for visas and work permit! (in peak turist season in popular places they don't bother at all) also teach english you will be amazed how many peoples will pay you for that (tesol or not tesol). Fruit picking? Cleaning backpackers rooms? Any place with turist will give you a job! Make sure they pay you cash after each shift, you won't get rich but will pay for the petrol/bed/food.
Asta la vista!
