More often than not, when we talk about paying for our tickets to far-off places, we’re talking about telecommuting or freelancing. It’s rare that we talk about building a full business that we can legitimately earn a full-time living with, no matter which nation we happen to be in this week. The idea of building a business, in a year or less, that will make at $50,000 or more, may seem out of reach.
Hands down, most of the people I know who want to travel for more than a few weeks here and there want to run their own businesses. They want to start their own business that allows them to support their traveling habit while still working on a schedule that is convenient for those same travels.
On the surface, travel writing means working for someone else. Whether you’re sending off an article to a magazine editor or contributing an essay to an anthology, you’re writing primarily for someone else. It’s not impossible to take a more entrepreneurial approach to your travel writing, however.
