RE: 5 WAYS TO EARN AN INCOME THROUGH TEACHING ENGLISH WHILST TRAVELLING

in #dtube6 years ago

I rode my bicycle from the US to Panama and was sleeping on the streets quite a bit. Well, and at fire stations, red cross, schools, couchsurfing, warmshowers, basically anywhere people would let me pitch my tent sleep for free. I looked into teaching English and no where even paid enough to live off of. I flew home and I tried teaching online and I found out I'm just not a teacher :( I need to find a way to make money while I travel, my goal is to fly back to Panama to continue but I still haven't found an income. I had a patreon and was getting $100 a month from friends/family and that paid for food if I didn't eat well but not much else. I've been learning video editing so maybe I can have a channel reviewing movies or something as travel vlogs, even the really good ones, don't get many views. If I got my patreon up to $300ish a month and still found places to sleep for free and only slept in paid accommodations to avoid sleeping on the street when I can't find somewhere for free that would be good. Travel is fun but not cheap. . .

It's amazing how you manage to travel on such a low budget and that you have the courage and initiative to just pitch your tent wherever you are! It's not always easy earning money whist travelling. I do believe that if you can generate a regular income online it makes life a little easier whether this is through teaching or other mediums. Setting up your own patreon is a good idea. I'm sure if you can make that grow it will allow you more freedom.
Thank you for your comments..
Good luck with your travels!
