Your Freedom Plan - 101 Jobs You Can Do While Traveling The World

You’re here because you’ve

  • Googled “how to make money while traveling” and left more confused than inspired
  • Tried a few side gigs that fizzled
  • Wondered if this lifestyle is really possible for someone like you

That’s exactly why we wrote this book.

We Started With Just 2 Tickets and a Dream

Back in 2003, we booked one-way tickets out of the country with no trust fund, no fancy job, and no set return date. Our only motivation was to see as much of the world as we could with our limited savings.

We lived in a camper van to save on rent, ate at bakeries to skip overpriced restaurants, and picked up scrappy gigs wherever we could – just to keep the adventure going.

Why This Book Works

It’s doable. These aren’t unicorn jobs or unrealistic dreams – they’re practical, flexible ways to earn.

It’s beginner-friendly. Many of the jobs inside require no degree, minimal experience, or just a bit of courage to try.

It’s honest. We’ll show you how much you can really earn, what to watch out for, and how to avoid the mistakes we made.

It saves you hours (and headaches). We’ve sorted through the noise so you don’t have to.


This Is the Book We Wish We Had Back Then.

We know how it feels to want more but not know where to start.

You deserve better than endless Googling, shady advice, or trying to figure it all out alone.

Let this be your shortcut.
