LPT REQUEST:How do I live on the move and make money.

Submitted by Apprehensive-Cold895 t3_10q76i6 in LifeProTips

I’ve always dreamed of roaming the world in a minivan or a car or a caravan but I’ve never been able to figure out how to finance it, I don’t come from a particularly wealthy family . I am going go into my 20’s and I want to experience the world. TLDr; I want to live life on the move but I don’t know the source of income.

I'm not a coder, but know people who are. Several have the option of working on the road, if they so chose. As long as you have signal, you could, theoretically, travel all you want as long as you get your day job taken care of.

Not sure, tbh. I think it varies from company to company. Some require you to be stationary, others don't seem to mind as long as the job is done. You could also go the freelance route, but often times, like any self-employment, you're chasing money to make money.

learn to fix chips in car windows, change oil and maintain caravans. If you are in campgrounds, you can do tasks for people, from stitching awnings back together to doing tasks or errands.

Also, learn to bartend or cut hair. Hair cutting takes longer to learn, but it's a very portable skill that's always in demand.

I knew a girl who did this. She was a medical transcriptionist and made pretty decent money. She had a sweet motorhome.

Depends on the role, but when you apply for jobs, you can search for 100% remote positions. Might take some work, as remote can be a luxury that comes with experience in the field. Pretty much any office job can be done remote, and where “remote “ Is can change day to day if you like.
