depending on their age:

The majority of people travelling

around the world now have

funded it in one of two ways

depending on their age:

1. BEFORE YOUR CAREER:

GAP YEAR FORYOUNG PEOPLE

Many young people spend a year

working their way aroundthe world.

Many countries offer work visa to….

…peopleunder 30

and…

… you’ll make lots of friends and have an amazing trip.

You can do things like becoming a WWOOF (WillingWorkers On Organic Farms) volunteer for which you giveyour time and effort for bed and board.

The downside isthat you have to do alot of bad jobs thatyou wouldn’t dreamof doing if theyweren’t in a foreigncountry.

And you don’tget paidvery much

for doing them.

2. AFTER YOUR CAREER

FOR OLDER PEOPLE

Sailing, driving… the roads and seas are cloggedwith old folks living out their lifefantasy.

While old friendsback home work in the

garden and wait jealouslyfor updates.

They see all the sightsthey’ve onlyever dreamt…

The downside is

they get boredvery quickly after alifetime of activity…

The downside is

they get boredvery quickly after alifetime of activity…

…miss their grandchildren andfamilies and are not truly happy.

It’s also kind of a shame to wait till you’re old to doall the things you want to do when you’re young!

3. THE THIRDOPTION:

INCORPORATE TRAVELINTO YOUR CAREER

a) A career that involves travel, such as anairline pilot. Glamorous though being a pilotsounds, even this option doesn’t give you

real travel freedom.

Tight schedule

And as forrelaxing with afew beers..

well that’s just a

NO NOisn’t it?

b) Working online. As this is a bloglargely directed at freelancers, this isthe area we’ll concentrate on.

Travelling.while

Be your Own boss.

Travel where you like…

Whenever you like.

and your career

Keep doing the same job so

if you’ve got a creative job and you mostlywork online it’s something you can do.

Once you’ve worked 5years in a place as apermanent or asfreelancer you havecontacts and knowhow the work is done.

Once you’ve worked 5years in a place as apermanent or asfreelancer you havecontacts and knowhow the work is done.

You must first make your reputation.

It’s the same as with music, screenwritingor publishing…

people being discovered on youtubeor sending in their work and gettingsnapped up

but if you reallywant to make it,you still have togo to the sourceand knock on

the doors inperson.

To Nashville, LA or New York. Get thework, then go off to do the work.

Travel without travellingtoo much

Golden tip:

It’s a mistake most people make.

It’s so tempting after years of pent upemotion and being stuck behind a desk totravel at speed, spending a few days in eachplace and then moving on.

This equals a lot of

energy,

More expense…

More stress…

looking for Wifi and places to stay.

And inevitably missed deadlinesand dissatisfied clients.And inevitably missed deadlinesand dissatisfied clients.

Find a place you like and stay…

then move on…

1) Go somewhere cheap

If you leave your city

of origin and work

online, know that

you will earn less

than if you were still

there.

of origin and work

than if you were still

So do your finances a big favourby going somewherecheap…

… take a step down in your living standards.

Don’t move from London to Portugal:it’s cheaper but not dramatically so.

2) Go back regularly

You have to acceptthat your contactsand your work willgradually declinewhen you leave.You’re not showingyour face at theparties.

Take them

out to lunch …

They’re going to be jealous and dying to hear all about it.

3) Go to a newcity to pitch

Make Appointments in advance

Be productive.

Find friend

to help cut your living costs
