Thankfully, yes.  I have been working in Bahrain for2 years now as a teacher and for the last13-14 months, I have also been writing for three different magazines.  There is a huge scope for freelance work should you look hard enough.  I started at a relatively new and basic motoring magazine (my area of expertise), then moved to writing the motoring pages for a lifestyle magazine and now have two full sections in the oldest magazine on the island and the chance to also manage a motoring website that they have created.  If you have an area of expertise, use that to your advantage, find a list of newspapers/magazines in the country you wish to work in and send a few emaisl with CV and any published work you have attached and you should be able to find something.
