Most conversations that I have while staying in hostels sound something like this:

“Hey! Where you from? Cool! What do you do? Seriously? How do you AFFORD it?” and so on and so forth.

It’s a very valid question, perhaps one of the most valid I’m asked. How DOES one afford to perpetually travel?

I’ll tell you now that I am not independently wealthy and I do not have a trust fund. I didn’t sell a startup during the dotcom bubble, nor did I strike oil in my backyard.

I earn my money while on the road.

That’s right, I’m a mobile entrepreneur – or a location independent entrepreneur, as some people call it – and it’s actually not terribly difficult to do, if you’re keen to set up a similar situation for yourself. All it takes is some knowledge, a laptop and a few good ideas.

Let’s face it, if money was no issue, you’d already be traveling. In fact, if you have a passport, a clean change of clothes and a dream destination, you already have everything you need to travel. The problem is, of course, what happens after your Visa gets shut off, you have no more cash and your boss fires you for not showing up to work.

7 Reasons You Should Experience Backpacking in Thailand | Backpackingmatt: Life's a Journey - A Budget Travel Blog

If you want order, normality, and don’t want to be placed outside of your comfort zone, you probably shouldn’t visit Thailand. Expect language barriers. Expect that someone will try to scam you. Expect to get lost. Expect squat toilets. Expect the power to go out. Expect delayed buses.

If you’re willing to take these challenges in stride and are keen to experience a part of the world that is unlike anywhere else, then backpacking in Thailand is right for you.

I’ve heard nothing can prepare a traveler for their first days in Southeast Asia. I’d agree. It’s a place different than anywhere else in the world. My first taste of Southeast Asia came with a quick, 24-hour layover in Kuala Lumpur.

Travel Tips for Planning Your Trip to Thailand

I came to Thailand in 2008 after a bad breakup (two actually), quitting my office job, and many months of stagnation and boredom with my suburban existence in the States. I wanted to live for a year abroad, somewhere as different as I could possibly find. I wanted to create a location-independent lifestyle, free up more time to read, learn, travel, and work on personal projects, test my self-reliance, expand my understanding of other cultures, and of course lounge on the beach."

Essential packing list for backpackers | No Place To Be

it would be good to share with you guys; some of the things we can’t live without, stuff we ditched within the first month, what we have picked up on the way and others that are now on our wish list (but either lack of money or unavailability have stopped us from getting).
