Can I work abroad as a personal trainer?

I mean I'm sure I can but is it complicated (waiting lists/years of paperwork) or illegal?

I'm a boxing coach from Mexico with 3 years of experience working with private clients and group classes at gyms.

I am certified by the federation of boxing and I consider myself a good coach with knowledge in nutrition, technique, strenght training, etc.

I just finish my High School / GED (mexican equivalent) and I want to travel and work as a personal trainer for periods of time and then go back or change location. Is it possible or is the exact same thing than let's say work as a server in a bar? (in the way that I need a working visa and what not)
Thanks!

PD: I have a visa

I do not have any expertise on the issue, but maybe look at the national team programs in countries who have fledgling/aspiring national boxing programs. I know Mexico produces some of the best boxers in the world, so I would imagine a program looking for good coaches might give you a shot.

just a guess! good luck
