Over the course of several years traveling all over the globe, I’ve found it astonishing at exactly how many ways people find to cover their travel expenses.  From flights, hotels, activities, food….anything you can think of, they fund it all from the road.

When I first began traveling full time, I had no idea at exactly how possible it was to do this.

It seems like a livelihood that’s incredulous, yet, when you throw yourself right into the mixture you quickly realize just how easy it is to accomplish a life of full-time travel.  You set your routines, a flexible schedule and priorities.

As long as you stick to your schedule (for the most part anyways), it’s pretty darn easy to do.  Needless to say, your cheap holidays can turn into a full-time holiday; especially if you know thrifty travel tips that would give you the extra freedom and ease of mind.

So, with this thought in mind, I had an idea to take note and research some of the most popular ways people have found to fund their travels while traveling abroad.  Become inspired and learn how to make a living while traveling through these 25 unique, location independent jobs.
