neutral  xxxmediamatrix: Not so 'sencillo'. If you are "working in a foreign country", what are you doing if not "see(ing) the world" and "earn(ing) money"? 'mientras' doesn't fit.

por medio de un trabajo


Explanation:
It's perhaps not obvious to non-native users of English, but...
'while working (in a foreign country)' means that 'working in a foreign country' is a means to achieve the ideals/dreams mentioned at the start of the sentence: 'see the world' and 'earn money'; not, as other answerers have suggested, that 'seeing the world' and 'earning money' can be done 'while' working in a foreign country.
