3 Slow Routes to a Digital Nomad Lifestyle (And What To Try Instead)

3 Slow Routes to a Digital Nomad Lifestyle (And What To Try Instead)

A few years ago when I was getting the itch to travel more and be at my cubicle less, I would scour the internet for articles, inspiration, jobs, something that could help me create a meaningful career but still allow me to do it while seeing the world. Fast-forward to 2019, and I've not only replaced my desk job salary with my online income, but I've been living this location-independent lifestyle for almost 2.5 years. 

From reading your email replies and messages, many of you have expressed the desire to be able to have a meaningful career while not giving up the ability to travel the world whenever you want to. Here are some popular routes to creating an online income I came across, that I've since learned are typically a "slower route" for earning an online income.

How I Made an Extra $167 For Travel in 5 Days with Poshmark

Finding ways to earn extra cash for travel doesn’t have to mean picking up a side job! This week I tried out the app Poshmark for selling old stuff and it quickly became my favorite buy-and-sell app on the market.

I’m gearing up for a work + travel opportunity in Central America soon, and naturally before any trip longer than a couple of weeks, I get an itch to clean out my closet. Something about traveling makes me want to get rid of clutter so I can come home to a clean, relaxing space!

I saw a blogger post about Poshmark on their Instagram page and decided to check it out.

How I Decided To Start a Blog

Have you ever done something interesting, fun, or cool and a bunch of people were asking you about it?

Maybe they wanted to do it too, or get your advice to see if it was right for them?

That's what happened when I was working as a tour guide + social media manager in Europe a few years ago. I was living in Italy and traveling to countries all over Europe on my weekends for work.

It wasn’t long after that I decided to start a blog, which has changed my life, eventually started making money, and leveraged my career in many ways.

Read on for my story and decide if this is something you may want to consider as well!

The 15 Best Jobs For People Who Love To Travel (and How To Get Started)

The 15 Best Jobs For People Who Love To Travel (and How To Get Started)

Do you dream of making the world your office? Do you want to ditch the desk and travel the globe without sacrificing your paycheck? It honestly isn't too good to be true and you don't have to get involved in some sketchy get-rich-quick scheme to make a work + travel lifestyle a reality.

After blogging on this topic for years, I've noticed that most people asking for advice on creating a work + travel lifestyle either want to a) have a job where travel is part of the job (versus being based in a foreign country), or b) want to live a location-independent lifestyle so they can work while they travel, wherever and whenever. I wanted to extract 15 of the "best" jobs in my opinion - those that are realistic, offer decent travel benefits or opportunities to travel, and what people actually seem to enjoy according to people I've talked to or blog posts I've read. I've split this list in half, with 10 work-while-you-travel opportunities, and 5 work-online opportunities.
