The thought of exploring new destinations, immersing yourself in different cultures, and living a life of freedom and adventure is undeniably enticing. But before you trade your conventional lifestyle for a life on the road, there are several factors to consider. Let’s dive into the exciting yet practical aspects of becoming a full-time traveler.

Financial Stability

Traveling full-time requires financial planning and stability. Assess your budget, savings, and sources of income. Consider how you will sustain your lifestyle while on the road. Are you willing to work remotely or freelance to support yourself financially? Research the cost of living in different destinations and create a realistic budget that allows you to enjoy your travels without constantly worrying about money.

Health and Safety

Traveling brings its fair share of health and safety considerations. Evaluate your overall health and ensure you have adequate travel insurance to cover any medical emergencies. Familiarize yourself with the healthcare systems of the countries you plan to visit and take necessary vaccinations or precautions. Additionally, research the safety of your desired destinations and stay informed about any travel advisories or warnings.

Emotional Preparedness

Living a nomadic lifestyle can be emotionally challenging. Leaving behind the comfort of a stable home, familiar surroundings, and a social network can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness or homesickness. Reflect on your ability to adapt to new environments, embrace solitude, and build new relationships on the road. It’s essential to maintain a positive mindset and cultivate resilience as you navigate the ups and downs of full-time travel.

Travel Logistics

Before embarking on your full-time travel journey, consider the logistics of your travels. Think about how you will handle transportation, accommodation, and the practicalities of moving from one place to another. Will you opt for long-term rentals, house sitting, or living in a van or RV? Research visa requirements, immigration laws, and the duration you are allowed to stay in each country. Stay organized and have contingency plans in place for unforeseen circumstances.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, digital nomadism is a lifestyle that involves working while traveling, using technology to work remotely. Some people become digital nomads because it suits their jobs, but others do so because they want to be able to travel year-round. If you fall in the latter group, you may be wondering what jobs you can do that will work with this lifestyle. Here are some options worth considering.

Designer

Whether you’re a web or graphic designer, your skills are likely to be desirable worldwide and all the time, meaning you should have no problem finding both long-term and short-term freelance clients, as well as even full-time employers who will allow you to work remotely from wherever you choose.

Virtual Assistant

While it’s a fairly new job, virtual assistants pretty much do exactly what assistants have done for centuries: writing e-mails, making calls, scheduling appointments, planning meetings, arranging travel, and so on. The perk of this job is it’s meant to be done virtually, making it perfectly suited to digital nomadism.

Online Language Instructor

For a long time now, people who wanted to work and travel could lean on teaching English as a job option in nearly any country. The good news is the internet age has made this even easier, as foreign language instruction online is growing in popularity.

Who among us does not dream of an endless vacation, working from the beach or a cafe somewhere far away? 

And yet, most people have not packed up their bags and moved to work from an endless vacation. Fact is, most of us still prefer to work from an office that has four walls, because it is just more convenient. Even working from home requires a lot of self-discipline and the ability to concentrate on work for long enough without distractions.

The good news is that today our corporate culture is starting to change for the better—especially in the technology sector—and many employers understand that in a few years it will no longer be possible to ignore employee’s demands not to be confined to their office chair.

Some lessons I've learned and mistakes I made as a digital nomad, freelancer, and remote social media manager this past year 👇 … ⠀ 😳💰 You are what you think you are worth. The mistake I made early on was UNDERCHARGING for my services. Because I was undercharging, I took on too many clients in order to meet the monthly quota of income that I wanted. ⠀ This led to a ton of juggling 🤹‍♀️ and stress on my end. Some days I would get a barrage of requests from my different clients. I was barely able to keep on top of all the work and also barely earning enough income! 🤯 Some days, my work would also be subpar due to all the juggling. So frustrating! ⠀ And of course, there was no sympathy from my clients. And even if there was, I didn't feel like I deserved it. After all, I was the one who suggested the price! Now it was my responsibility to follow through! ⠀ Finally, one day a potential client approached me and asked me for my prices. For once, I didn't tell them my rate, but asked them what they were looking for. They proceeded to give me a budget that was 6x what I was charging my current clients 🤯 ⠀ This experience completely changed my perception of what my services are worth and how I would like to work in the future. In the future, instead of working with a ton of small clients paying a small budget, I would like to work with a couple large clients whose products and services I believe in and that I can really focus in on so I can deliver good work! 💝💝 ⠀ Anyways, such some retrospective thoughts. Are you a freelancer? Would you like to be one? What has been your experience? ⠀ 📍 Nakhon Si Ban Na Homestay, near the Nakhon Si Thammarat Airport in South Thailand. Super cute, authentic homestay: a little hut made of bamboo perched over a small pond in a rubber tree plantation. Found it through Booking.com and chose it because of the all the positive reviews! Lovely place to stay for a night ☺ Cheers ⠀ 🖋MY BACKSTORY moved in 2019 to THAILAND🌴 to continue pursuing DREAMS of travelling the world🌎 and becoming a kickass digital nomad/online entrepreneur💻 and Muay Thai fighter🥊 What's your story? 😊

If this is your dream, try it out for a few months, and see if you can be effective while working remotely. Choose a destination you think is right for you in terms of time differences, and that you can combine personal life and work with.

Choose a place with good internet infrastructure, as well as access to regular flights in case you need to return to your country at short notice.

If it works, you can take a deep breath and start living the dream.

One-Of-A-Kind Experiences In Mongolia https://travelerdreams.com/one-of-a-kind-experiences-in-mongolia/ Sun, 12 Jan 2020 06:33:30 +0000 https://stagingtrd.wpengine.com/?p=4148 When someone mentions “unique experiences,” you don’t immediately think of Mongolia, do you?

When someone mentions “unique experiences,” you don’t immediately think of Mongolia, do you? Well, we’re here to tell you this may be a mistake, as there are plenty of things that can only be experienced in the homeland of Genghis Khan! 

Nomadic lifestyle 

Part of Mongolia’s population still lives out in the steppe, just like their ancestors. There is no better way to experience the lives of the great Khans in the past than sitting where they sat, riding horses where they used to ride and feeling the fresh flatland breeze on your face. Easily one of the best experiences in my life – and I’ve been to Bali! 

Gobi desert 

The Gobi desert is a unique sight located 3,000 feet above sea level, but as its geographic position holds to the north, it’s also very cold. Make sure to dress warmly if you want to go desert hunting, and you can sleep in the base of any dune you want! 

Unique history 

Mongolia can pride itself on being the country that once held the largest piece of territory ever seen on the planet under the great Khans, so there are plenty of historical landmarks and monuments, including religious sites. We suggest you visit the Chinggis Khan statue, the Zaisan Memorial, and although it may come as a surprise to many, the square dedicated to the Beatles!

Many digital nomads and people are searching for ways to step out of the typical household situation. Many Millennials live in shared flats with roommates both to save up on money and because living in 2019 and paying rent isn’t easy.

These people who chose the van life and moved their lives into a mobile home are an inspiration to show us other possibilities of living our lives. The great thing? You’ll be able to travel anytime you wish. Do you feel like going to the lake on Monday? No problemo. Simply drive your van down to the lake or even seek refuge in between trees in the middle of the forest. The van life is a quirky and interesting one and we find it fascinating, and we hope you will too.

The World is Your Oyster

People who opt for the van life choose to travel on a 24/7 basis. It’s a conscious decision of straying away from the typical life of a normal traveler and choosing to make it a lifestyle. Whether you’re curious to try this life or just thinking about it, why not try it out with friends for a weekend? You won’t regret it.

Design Your Space

Designing your own van space takes a lot of work – but it’s much easier than buying furniture and assembling it in your home. Since space is limited, you’ll be able to let your creative juices flow into your space and manifest onto the walls and floor beds. You might even find it comfier to sleep in a hammock instead of a bed!

When someone mentions “unique experiences,” you don’t immediately think of Mongolia, do you? Well, we’re here to tell you this may be a mistake, as there are plenty of things that can only be experienced in the homeland of Genghis Khan!
