The one question we are asked time and time again is “How do you afford it?” – people find it difficult to understand how we can afford to travel full-time. The truth is you don’t need to be super-rich to afford to travel full-time, you need to be passionate and make travel a priority. Before we get into this, let’s get one thing straight; travel doesn’t need to be expensive. You can spend as little or as much as you want on your trips depending on your priorities.
Eating at the Sunday Night Market in Chiang Mai, Thailand
You need to be willing to do whatever it takes in order to keep your travels going. Sleep in a dingy hostel, take a ride on the top of a public bus, walk rather than taking a taxi, eat local food, learn some of the local language, whatever it is if it will save you money it should be at the top of your list.

With that said, saving money is only one aspect of it. We left Ireland in 2009 and we’ve been on the road since. If you have a lump of savings to work from, the more money you save, the longer your money will last – simples! But the day will come when your bank account is approaching zero and it’s time for the dream to end. So, how do you keep the dream alive?

Unless you’re a lottery winner, you’re going to need to earn an income in order to afford to travel full-time. We’ve tried a number of different ways to make an income while travelling over the years and we are now making enough money to travel the world while working from our laptops. It doesn’t matter if it’s the top of a mountain or a tropical beach – if there’s a WiFi signal we’re good to go.
Here is how we afford to travel full-time – our current travel lifestyle and some of the ways we have made an income while travelling in the past.
How Do We Afford To Travel Full-Time?
Travel Blogging
Winners of the Best Travel Blog at the Blog Awards Ireland 2015
This travel blog earns us a small income each month. We’re full-on travel addicts, travel is our passion and we love sharing our photos, stories and videos with others who share that passion. Our earnings from our travel blog come mainly through advertising, sponsored posts and affiliate marketing. We also partner with brands and tourism boards in different campaigns. For these projects, we might receive payment or the costs of the trip might be covered. We take every project, article and campaign as they come.

It’s worth mentioning that travel blogging is hugely competitive and it can take some time before you are making any money from your blog. You need to be dedicated, passionate and be prepared to learn on the job. Superstar Blogging run by Nomadic Matt is a great course with everything you need to learn to get started from writing and photography courses, webinars and interviews with travel blogging experts. There’s a great community of travel bloggers from around the world as well as an opportunity board. When it comes to running your blog you will play the role of writer, photographer, editor, website designer, accountant and marketer – and doing all of this while you deal with travelling full-time. It’s not for everyone, but if you can make it work it’s the best job ever. We wouldn’t change it for anything!
Online Freelance Work
Working while housesitting in New Zealand
In addition to running our own blog, we do freelance writing for other websites and publications. There are always opportunities on websites like Outsourcely and Upwork where you can pick up writing work, editing work, graphic design jobs, virtual assistant gigs, you name it. These can be a great way of making some extra cash while you’re on the road. If you’re travelling in a country where the cost of living is very low, like India for example and you can make $100 a week writing a few articles, then that’s your expenses covered.
Content Writing
Catching up on freelance work in the back of our camper in New Zealand
The majority of our income at the moment comes from our content writing businesses. Completely separate from our travel blog, we have two small content writing businesses. We have a number of regular clients who we write content for on a number of different topics. It could be writing about anything from dentistry to gates. It can be web content, e-books, white papers, blog articles; you name it. This provides us with something of a regular income from month to month – it’s not a steady income but we make it work. The best thing about this is it allows us to generate an income from anywhere, as long as we have a solid wifi internet connection. Having the ability to decide to relocate to Cyprus, move to Morocco, or travel around the Australian outback in a van, all while earning an income is an amazing feeling!
Looking For New Income Opportunities
Facing new challenges
When you’re working from the road, trying to generate an income on the go, it’s important to seek out new opportunities and to try something new. We have been inspired by many people that we have met on our travels, doing everything from jewellery making to cooking to yoga teaching, selling at markets and so much more. Some people, like us, choose to roam without a real base while others will set up a seasonal winter business in places like Switzerland or in Canada where they will stay for one part of the year and then travel freely for the rest. Diversifying your incomes stream is important when you’re working on-the-go. We are always looking for new opportunities when we travel and have tried to diversify our income in various ways over the years, not all of which have been successful. Don’t be afraid to try something new, try a different approach to generating an income and make more travel a reality.
House And Petsitting As We Go
Some furry friends for company while housesitting in Andalusia, Spain
In the last couple of years, we’ve started using housesitting as a way to spend longer in places without having to pay any rent. For our first house and petsitting gig, we stayed in a little Andalusian Village minding a home and four dogs for two months. It was a great way to experience living in a small Spanish town and we loved the experience. The owners even left us their car to use so we were able to explore the surrounding area easily.
We are lucky enough to have completed housesits all over the world in Australia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Turkey, Germany, South Korea, The Netherlands, Mexico, and at home in Ireland. Depending on where you are going, and where you are from, you may need to organise a visa ahead of time so you can stay for the agreed length of time. We advise checking out these details prior to applying for a sit as it can impact your eligibility to stay for the intended period of time. For example, we could only stay for a maximum of 3 months in Turkey, although we would have liked to have stayed longer. On the other hand, housesitting in Europe for extended periods is straightforward. As we hold Irish passports, immigration in the Netherlands, entry into Spain, Germany immigration and other European countries was a breeze and we could stay as long as we were required to. Travelling on a European passport is a huge advantage in this part of the world, allowing us to travel where we want, for as long as we want.
Trusted Housesitters had been our go-to website for housesitting, it’s really easy to use, it has the best listings and although it is a little more expensive to join than some of the other websites out there, it’s worth it for the better opportunities.
Travelling In Cheaper Countries
Backpacking through India for 6 months was incredibly rewarding and affordable
Being able to afford to travel full-time means being selective about where you go. South-east Asia, the Indian Sub-Continent, Spain, Portugal, Morocco and Eastern Europe are where we have mostly been based over the last six years. The cost of living in these countries is much lower, allowing us to live for a fraction of the cost and if you learn to haggle it can be even cheaper! It’s less expensive for us to travel in these countries than it would be for us to live in Ireland. Choosing to travel in cheaper countries will allow you to stretch your money further, enjoy your time, and do and see more in each place.
Travelling Independently As Much As Possible
Trekking to Everest Base Camp independently over 23 days
As well as travelling in cheaper countries, we also prefer to travel independently as much as we can. For us, we prefer to travel this way anyway and the added bonus is that it significantly lowers our costs. Generally, we prefer not to take guides or tours if we can help it. Instead, we’ll figure out how we can do it ourselves and it usually leads to a more authentic experience. Plus, you can go at your own pace, you don’t have to share the experience with dozens of other people and you’ll have more time to get lost in whatever it is your doing. We completely understand the pros of group travel and realise that our style of travel might not be for everyone, but if you want to cut down your costs it’s worth doing more things independently.
Stopping To Live In Places
Sitting down to our Christmas dinner while living in Sri Lanka
Travelling constantly can be tiring. You’re changing beds every other night, you have no routine and you’re always on the go. Every now and then, we rent somewhere for a month or two and recharge. Airbnb is great for short-term rentals of a few months and the monthly prices are way cheaper than nightly. There are also some good deals on apartments through Booking.com, depending on what part of the world you’re travelling in. Being able to do grocery shopping and cook saves money on eating out and staying in reading, planning your next trip or just watching TV is less expensive than entertaining yourself every evening. While you are taking a break from travel, you’re also living in a new location that you can get to know and enjoy while having a base from which to go and see all of the local sights and those in the surrounding areas.
Teaching English
Noelle with some of her students in Korea
Originally our main income was from teaching English in South Korea. Like so many others we operated the common ‘work-save-travel-repeat’ program. Living in South Korea, we had a great standard of living, we travelled a lot around Asia using Korea as a base and we were able to save half our wages each month comfortably. Your employer provides you with a free apartment to live in, your return airfare is provided and the cost of living is about half of what it is in Ireland. We absolutely loved living and working in Korea and learned so much about Korean culture and customs, but we wanted to travel more than two sets of two-week holidays in a year so we looked at how we could afford to travel full-time and work remotely.
Other Travel Jobs
Travel full-time by working in construction
Over the years, we have worked different jobs to provide us with an income while abroad. Some of these jobs were more enjoyable than others but they all served their purpose in keeping our dreams of staying on the road alive.
Construction Work
Construction work is one of the easiest jobs to pick up while you’re on the road. Turn up at a building site, get talking to someone and you’ll probably find yourself with a days work. You don’t need to be skilled but you need to be prepared to work hard. Working in construction in Hawaii, our job was to gut out an old brothel as they were turning the building into office space. Working indoors it was dusty, dark and incredibly hot. It’s not the most glamorous work but we were well paid for our efforts and it kept the dream alive for a little while longer.
Waiting Tables
Getting a job as a waiter or waitress is another great option while travelling. If you have some experience it will help but even with no experience at all you can pick up some work and learn on the job. If you can, try to find a waiting job in a ‘fancy’ restaurant. The more money you can make in tips the better. In one of my previous restaurant jobs I was earning over $100 tips per night, I never even collected my wages until I was moving on to the next location and by then they had turned into a nice little nest egg.
Kitchen Staff
Kitchens are always looking for workers. From cooks to kitchen porters, there is a range of jobs depending on your experience. Working in kitchens can be hot and uncomfortable and it’s definitely a high-stress environment. Chefs have something of a reputation for being fiery, so be prepared to get yelled and screamed at while you make your money.
Au Pair Work
There are countless opportunities to work as an Au Pair around the world. Your experience will depend entirely on the family you are working for so be sure to ask questions during the interview process. Find out where exactly you will be staying, ask about the kids and inquire about what will be expected. Working as an Au Pair is a great way to interact with locals in a country through your host family, their friends and their family. You get a deeper understanding of the country you are living in, the culture and how everyday life really is.
Earning Enough To Afford To Travel Full-Time
Celebrating New Year’s Eve 2015 / 2016 with epic views of Mt Cook in New Zealand
To afford to travel full-time, you need to set a realistic target for what you are going to need to earn each month. Once you have that figured out, you can go about working on a model that will provide that income. On the months where we don’t make enough money, we will cut back our spending, start looking at house-sitting for the next month or try to earn some extra money by doing more freelance work. It’s important to stay as flexible as possible.
There are plenty of people out there who have created some great models where they are earning a great income while travelling full-time and there’s no reason you can’t do it too. You just need to be passionate and really want to make it happen.
Remember that you should alway cover yourself with travel insurance when living a life of full-time travel. We love to use World Nomads for travel insurance.

This is a great guide. Very helpful to me who wants to travel the world. Recently I even started my blog for the same. I am going on a few trips in between but haven’t managed to go full time yet!
Hi Shraddha,
We’re glad you found this post useful! Best of luck with your blog and hopefully you will be able to travel full time soon! 🙂
Hi! I really like your blog! My family was planning to travel fulltime. Anything to take note before we start travelling? Any suggestions are deeply appreciated!
~Alessandra ;0
Hi Alessandra,
That’s great news! We’re so happy for you and your family!
Our suggestions would be simply to have enough income coming in as you travel or enough savings to be able to enjoy your travels without financial stress. Also just be willing to go with the flow and be open to whatever fulltime travel throws your way!
Hope you are enjoying life on the road!
I learned the meaning of traveling through my reading your blog. I become passion about traveling and roaming around the world and experiencing the joy of life despite the difficulty of making money
thank you
Hi Djabir,
It’s so great to know that our blog helped you find a way to make travel your passion! 🙂 You’re very welcome!
Great article, very helpful! I love your resourcefulness and passion. We are preparing to be become full time nomads when we become empty nesters next year. These blogs are so great as we research and prepare.
Hi Karla! That’s awesome – best of luck with your nomadic adventures! We hope the post was useful! 🙂
Wow, this is really impressive. I love travelling and started a travel blog not long ago. Although I am an avid traveler, your couple inspires me by showing me
By the way, I am from South Korea and living in Japan, the UK and now in Singapore for education and work. It was great to see you taught English in my home country and it makes me miss my home 🙂
Thanks a lot for your great post, and this site will be my favourite!!
Hi Semi,
Thanks so much for your comment – we’re so glad our blog inspires you! We absolutely loved our time teaching in South Korea and it’s where we really fell in love with the travel lifestyle. We often miss Korea too! So glad to have you as a reader Semi! 감사합니다! 🙂
I applaud your decision to become a full time travell blogger.
Success.
Thanks so much Himawan! 🙂
Great article Noelle!
Thanks Will!
Interesting content. Many of us are looking for ideas to get to permanent travel
Glad you enjoyed the post Nick – safe travels! 🙂
Interesting reading about how you are making ends meet while you travel. I am working as a freelance journalist again and have taken to producing a youtube channel about our life on the road after leaving England in June. Good luck with the blog and other avenues of making your journey pay.
Thanks David. Best of luck with your Youtube Channel – hope all goes well for you guys – happy travels! 😀
Thank You Noelle and Brian for the Travel Inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by Chuck! 🙂
Hello Noelle and Brian,
Quite inspiring, your above blog! I am dreaming every day to become maybe the first ‘mom’ to quit regular life and start traveling as a digital nomad with my 5 year old son, and blog about it. Have you ever in all your travels, met a single mother + child traveling as ‘nomads’? I am currently finishing a teachers degree so i can homeschool my son.
In the end, I don’t know if I will have the nerve to actually go ahead and do it. Obviously I could not do all the jobs that would require me to leave my child alone, plus I have to think of the risks if one of us gets ill. Any advice?
It would seem a good source of income to sublet my current house.. any experiences with that? Safe travels to you anyhow!
Hi Brigitte,
Thanks so much for the kind words! We love to inspire others to chase their dreams of full-time travel!
We have definitely come across a few digital nomad families, some of whom are very famous bloggers like YTravel and Travel with Bender, and single mother Theodora Sutcliffe who blogs at Escape Artistes and travelled a lot with her son but is now based in Bali. Maybe you can look at these blogs for some tips.
However, we’ve never encountered a single mom constantly travelling. We have met an American woman, Tiffonie Baker, that we house and pet sat for last year, who was living in South Korea. She took early retirement from the US military so she is financially secure with her military pension and she had been stationed in Korea so chose to continue to live there as the cost of living is a good bit less than in the States. She now homeschools her son and takes him on long (one to three month) trips twice a year, with South Korea as her home base.
If you’re going to be a qualified teacher soon, there are some excellent opportunities to teach English abroad and/or work in International schools for a while until your freelance digital career is up and running.
As for getting ill, it would be a good idea to take out a good travel insurance plan. If you’re travelling in cheaper countries medical costs can be quite low anyway but it’s always good to have peace of mind, especially with your son, it’d be best to be covered in case of any emergencies. We’ve heard great things about World Nomads for travel insurance.
It would be a great idea to sublet your home for income! We don’t own any property, but if and when we do, we’d definitely sublet! Airbnb is a great platform to do this, especially if you live in a major city. However, it may be better to go for a local letting agent if you want long term tenants while you’re away.
Housesitting is also another great way to have a rent-free home base while on the road too! And you get some surrogate pets too! 🙂 We love using Trusted Housesitters to find housesits.
Best of luck with all of your digital nomad endeavours and we hope that you can make your dreams a reality! 🙂
What a lovely story.
Keep it up guys and many congratulations on your success.
Thanks so much Victoria! 🙂
Great read. I’ve been a professional travel video blogger for over seven years now. I am so thankful to be at a point where I am making a pretty darn good living. Unfortunately, success comes with its own set of challenges. One being…figuring out how to scale my business and getting the right people on board.
I wish you both continued success.
Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for your best wishes! Well done on your own success too – it’s not an easy goal to reach and there always seems to be more challenges around the corner when you choose to work for yourself
Hey, I’m glad I came across this article after a few other people had found it – loved reading the comments, haha! Great, practical advice which has given me a few ideas. I generally blog about travelling in Australia where I also live, but it’s great to get the benefits of your perspective and experience for future reference!!
Hi Marion. Really glad you found our article useful – we were in Australia for a few months last year in Adelaide, the Outback and Perth – such a beautiful country! 🙂
Hi
Thanks for sharing your ‘living the dream’ adventures and tips. I’m planning my exit from 9-5 and am now on count down to my new life beginning. If you want something to happen then you have to make it happen and I’m a great believer in success happening when opportunity meets preparation. My blog launches on 5th Sept and I’ll certainly be following you guys. Best wishes to you both
Hi Sarah,
Thanks so much! We’re so glad that you found our post useful when planning your new beginning.
Best of luck with your new ventures and of course your blog! 🙂
Traveling full time can be tough both in terms of finances and health. But, you guys seem to be doing a great job! The ways that you mentioned to make money sound practical and interesting. Thanks for inspiring!
Thanks so much Renuka.
We’re happy to inspire! 🙂
You have two content-writing businesses? That’s awesome. Your hands must really be full on the road though between those and a blog.
Hi CJ – ya, it can be a lot to manage at times but we wouldn’t change it for the world! 😀
I’m amazed when I learn about “location independent” travelers that travel full time! For me, one of the highlights of every trip is opening the door to my flat, walking inside, and sleeping in my own bed. As a travel blogger, I sometimes think that my idea of a vacation is STAYING HOME. Anyway, if I may add some advice: by way of two anecdotes: 1.) last summer, I spent four weeks in Stockholm, Sweden – one of the world’s most expensive cities. I went there to attend TBEX, a blogger’s convention. I spent about US$1,200 on a studio flat via Airbnb, getting a 30% discount by staying four weeks. This was MUCH cheaper than staying at a hotel. I could have found cheaper accommodation, but I wanted a flat with with a nice kitchen – and I didn’t want to share a space with someone. While Sweden is VERY expensive – especially eating out – supermarket prices are actually quite reasonable. With a kitchen, I ate almost every meal at home. What’s more, I emailed the local tourism board a couple of months before my arrival and got a “key to the city” (sorry, I can’t remember the official name) which gave me free access to museums and other attractions as well as bus and boat tours – this was worth hundreds of US dollars. Needless to say, you need to produce something in exchange, but I’m a travel blogger so I was able to blog about that. 2.) Before I launched my blog, I spent three months in Portugal, which is a MUCH cheaper country. I enrolled in a summer language class, which ran about 500 euros. This gave me “access” to an immediate circle of friends. It also allowed me to find inexpensive accommodation targeted at students (who were on holiday for the summer). I had a LOVELY bedroom in a GORGEOUS house, for which I paid 55 euros a week – that wouldn’t even cover one night in a hotel! I cooked most of my meals at home, often “pooling my resources” with a Japanese guy that was staying in another bedroom. And the landlady did my laundry twice a week!
Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for sharing your anecdotes! We love, love, LOVE using Airbnb when we travel too – especially for longer term stays like you mention. It’s so great to have access to a kitchen and a homely space and it’s definitely waay better value than a hotel. As a (slightly) more mature couple, we don’t like to share our space either! 😉
We love spending time in countries that have a lower cost of living too as it allows us to save loads too!
Great advice! 🙂
You two are so fortunate that this is your joint dream. I love to travel, but have family obligations, so my trips must always be very focused, short, and sweet (I write about chocolate!)
It’s interesting how those of us who love to travel find a way to do it, and work around whatever situations we have to in order to do so.
Agreed Doreen – we are definitely very lucky that we both love to travel so much – kindred spirits! 😀 Everybody finds their own groove when it comes to travel we think depending on their responsibilities, travelling full-time is great for us but not for everybody. Add Chocolate though – that’s a great idea – chocolate makes everything better! 🙂
This is one of the most realistic posts I’ve seen about funding full time travel. Thanks for your practical advice!
No problem Danielle, glad you found it helpful! 🙂
Work as freelancer on Elance and Upwork is great experiences for travel full time. Great article!, Thank for sharing.
No problem David – Elance and Upwork are definitely good options! 🙂
I liked your article and would love to travel full time as well. I have been to Nepal, Africa, Greece, China, Ireland, Wales, England, Canada and Mexico but have the bug to keep traveling. I would love to take my daughter out of school for 8-12 months and travel the world. I would need to know how to start blogging or writing for companies that need employees. I am very interested in that and will check out the information. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much Kelly! Glad we could help and hope it all goes well for you! 🙂
So nice of you to share this article. Very simple, clear and informative. Looking for more from you.
regards,
John
Thanks so much John! 🙂
Great post! Really useful! Regarding some of the jobs you mentioned, like construction work or waiting tables, how difficult has it been to get those kinds of jobs around the world considering things like work visas and so on? Or do they just not make an issue of it in most places?
Hi Sarah,
Glad you liked the post! 🙂
As for visa issues, Brian had a J1 visa when he worked construction and waited tables in the States and, of course, we had work visas to teach English in South Korea as your visa is linked to your job there. We’re now on working holiday visas in Australia so we don’t really know how easy or difficult it would be to get jobs without a visa. Sorry can’t be of more help!
We know all of these all too well – life is hard on the road and trying to run a blog and make a buck is very tough! Some awesome tips in here though!
Hey guys! Glad you found some useful tips here – life on the road can definitely be tough at times – we wouldn’t have it any other way though! Safe travels and keep on hustling! 😀
Only a little bit envious! Great stuff guys and good luck with the 2016 Littlewoods awards.
Thanks so much Liberty! 🙂
This is really informative and helpful, thank you!
Thanks so much Alice! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Really useful post, Barry. We’ve just returned to the UK after 15 months of travel and are now trying to figure out how we can keep travelling full-time. Just about to do some house-sitting in France but you’ve definitely given us some food for thought. Cheers and keep up the great work!
Hi Ian,
Thanks for your kind words! 🙂 We love housesitting – especially in countries with a higher cost of living. It can really help to keep costs down and you get to experience living in a place on a local level, with the added bonus of a surrogate pet(s). Win-win! We’re currently on our third assignment this year!
We really hope you guys can figure out a way to keep your travels going! 🙂
My husband and I have spent two separate weeks teaching English in a lovely mountainous region of Spain with Diverbo. They are always looking for “anglos” .i.e. native English speaking but not necessarily English nationals so there are many Aussies, Americans etc. as well. The age range is from 20 to 80. You get full board for a week in a lovely chalet and meet the most fascinating people. The Spaniards are usually professionals of a high level and all you have to do all week is talk – not teach. – on a one to one basis. There at also fun events. It is fascinating and you really get to know lots of lovely people who provide further contacts. It can be a bit exhausting, but is an unforgettable experience. You have to get to Madrid, after that they pay your expenses.
Hi Jean. That sounds like a great experience and very rewarding we are sure. Great opportunity to interact and meet the locals which is always a nice experience. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m due to retire in the next couple of years and would love to travel full time. Noting your advice regarding expectations and standards etc, how much have you been required to earn on average on a monthly basis in order to sustain your travel dream?
Hi Paul,
Sorry for the massive delay in replying to you! 🙂
That totally depends on where we choose to travel and how we travel when we’re there. We tend to travel as independently as possible, not doing expensive guided tours, etc. and self catering where possible. This is especially true when we’re travelling in more expensive countries like Australia or New Zealand. To travel in these kind of higher cost countries you might need $3,000 per month to get by – even on a budget and being selective on what activities or experiences you do when there.
On the other hand, when visiting countries with a lower cost of living like India, Thailand or Bulgaria, you can travel more comfortably, eat out, stay in nicer accomodation and do most activities for about $1,500 per month. So it totally depends on where you choose to travel and your travel style.
There are plenty of countries with lower costs of living to travel on a budget in too. Hope this helps!
I have been dreaming of traveling all my life, but didn’t even started until now because of having a stable job as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) here in Dubai. This year, I hope I can start traveling in nearby country by the help of this very informative and encouraging post.
Thank You
Anthony
Hi Anthony! We’re delighted you found our post useful – best of luck with your travels, we hope you make your dreams a reality! 🙂
Great article! Thanks for the info
Thanks Sandy – glad you found it useful! 🙂
It’s good to here we are on the right path. We earn most of our money writing content about “exciting” subjects like HVAC and house maintenance. And we keep our costs low by housesitting in cheaper countries. So far our blogging hasn’t paid off much, but its fun nonetheless.
haha we write about many of the same “exciting” subjects Tim! Housesitting is a great option to keep costs down – we love having a ‘home away from home’. Keep on blogging! 🙂
Yep! This sounds about right to me! Cloudpeeps is also a great alternative to sites like Upwork that are getting a little overrun. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Liz – we’ll be sure to check out Cloudpeeps! 🙂
