Making money while traveling has been one of my favorite topics, since I am actually doing it now.  However, the internet is not the only way to fund your travels.  There are plenty of different ways to make money while traveling outside of internet work.  Though anyone agree that working on the internet while blogging is one of the best possiblities, I’ve come across a number of ways to travel cheap. As many have said, if you have both time and money, you have the ultimate freedom.

Working at a Hostel
Plenty of hostels will often let you stay for free as long as you do some work each week, usually about 15 hours.  This often involves cleaning the rooms or working at the reception.  One of the best ways to get started is to first stay at the hostel a bit, get to know the staff, and their chances of letting you stay will be much greater.

Organic Farm Work
Often or not you can work on an organic farm for free and even get your food taken care of.  It is a great way to travel and have your expenses nearly paid for outside of travel costs.

More often than not, the best way to approach traveling is to do it, even if you are low on a bit of funds.  If you can cover the first month, the rest will come.  When I first went to Germany with about $500 to my name, I wasn’t sure I would make it.  But behold, I was able to find jobs, cheap places to stay, and slowly make it, one of the things that led to me creating this website in the first place.  Sometimes you need to leap into the water without thinking, if you fail, you can always start over.

The Dot Com lifestyle isn’t all about earning money and buying fancy things.  The Dot Com lifestyle is about being free and flexible to do what you want when you want.  Even if you can’t fully earn money of the internet, you can still lead the lifestyle, just by finding opportunities around you in each place you travel to.
