I just studied abroad over in Australia this past year.
Here are a few things I did:
1) Get a job in your visiting country (Recommended for 1st word only)
---a) Keep in mind that the only downside is you might need to pay taxes in both your host and visiting country. I did a part time job there and used that money for drinks / clubs / etc
---b)This method I found really rewarding. DO NOT work a full time job. You will be much happier.
2) Create some business cards and get your name out there. Go drop them off at clubs, hideouts, birthday parties.
3) DJ on the streets? I have seen live musicians all the time downtown where I live. I would love to see perhaps one guy with 1 speaker and his laptop and a hat. He is rich to not need donations, but if you show your enjoyment for creating music, who knows. It might just get you a gig.
Hope that helps
