It's true that getting passive income from blogging is great and is a dream for most including me. @timsaid is living a dream from the amount of dollars he gets upvoted for one post. I blog unsuccessfully but I been to 6 different countries so far. It's not much, but I worked for it.
But if you are referring to travel, achieving that dream doesn't mean you have to be successful.
Yesterday, I turned on my PC and opened Steemit. I saw one of my post made over $400! I was ecstatic, overwhelmed with joy, I cried. Then I woke up.
