How To Start A Travel Blog & Make Real Money

November 14, 2017 by The Runaway Guide 28 Comments

Can you actually make money with a sports, fashion, food, travel or any kind of blog? Most people either don’t believe it’s possible or feel that they lack the confidence, computer skills, and writing ability to begin. In the beginning, I had held a similar skepticism, and complete lack of confidence. But today, I’m making enough money through this blog to […]

5 Ways Travelers Can Make Money Online

October 31, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 8 Comments

From Korea to Guatemala I saw them. They always looked so clever clicking away on their laptops. “So you actually make enough money online to travel?” I would ask, squinting with incredulity. “Yea, it’s really not too hard once you get the hang of it,” they would reply, taunting me and my dumpster diving ways.

How To Make A Quick Buck In Bangkok

September 10, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 11 Comments

As a runaway turned budget backpacker, I can’t stop looking for ways to save money, make money, and ultimately travel longer. I always try for discounts because it never hurts to ask. I haggle for everything because there’s always a chance. And I constantly contemplate potential business opportunities abroad. When I was 16 and trying to survive in Cairo, I brought tourists to perfume shops for […]

August 28, 2014 by The Runaway Guide 18 Comments

Running away towards the unknown to start a new life can be bowel churning. But anything worth doing in life usually is. You don’t have to do it the way I did. You don’t have to run away with nothing but a backpack and with no idea of where to go. In fact I wouldn’t really recommend […]

A Guide To Street Performing & Making Money On The Road

August 3, 2014 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

I raise the Harmonica to my lips. My palms are so sweaty the harp nearly slides out. My eyes survey the potential audience, a few old ladies meandering by and a homeless guy on an adjacent bench. I can see all the notes and my brain knows exactly how to play them. I exhale into the […]

Runaway Rendezvous With Morgan: An English Teacher In Korea

July 30, 2014 by The Runaway Guide Leave a Comment

On this edition of Runaway Rendezvous, I got the chance to speak with Morgan of Denver, Colorado. Like most 22 year olds fresh out of college, she’s got an enslaving amount of debt.

With only 600$ to my name, I needed to figure out a way to cross the Darien gap on the cheap or better yet for free. I reviewed all the Darien Gap options and decided that my best bet was to try and hitch a ride on a sailboat. Although I knew I might have […]

Working Aboard A Caribbean Sailing Yacht

I am writing to you from the San Blas islands on the stern sun deck of the 85 foot Yacht Independence. The sun is slowly ushering in the moon through brilliant pinks, oranges, and light blues behind clouds the size of mountains.. The sea is calm and I can hear nothing but the gentle caress […]

Business For Backpackers: Drugs, Jewelry, & Fruit

One of the greatest things about backpacking around the world is that it grants one perspective. It is this perspective, that only a foreigner can posses, that enables those with entrepreneurial eyes to identify potentially lucrative niches. In other words, backpackers are continually aware of things such as price disparities between neighboring countries, or how […]

While this is true for most types of professional employment abroad, rarely is it necessary for backpacker jobs. Backpacker jobs are off the record cash in hand jobs, and can be found just about everywhere. While some backpacker […]
