It’s only been about a year and a half since Agatha Catchrain decided to give solo travel a shot – and this is already her full-time career. She became a true social media sensation after she started sharing her travel tips online, and she’s dedicated to helping other people explore the world on a budget and get paid along the way.
Catchrain’s adventure started in 2022, when she decided to quit her job during a work trip to Mexico and travel the world full-time, all on her own. Before embarking on this adventure, she had over ten years of work experience as a marketing specialist, and she managed to climb the corporate ladder without a higher degree.
After some time, Catchrain realized that having a successful career wasn’t as fulfilling as she thought it would be, and decided to start living her best life.
“I’ve always dreamed of traveling the world, but I always put it off for later. I thought I needed to have more money, more time, or even be married before I could start my adventure. But then I realized that I was just making excuses,” she explains in her e-book How To Get Paid to Travel.
Since embarking on this adventure, Catchrain attracted over 250,000 followers on Instagram and 60,000 more on TikTok and launched master classes in an attempt to teach other people how to earn money while traveling.
