How Can You Afford to Travel?

I (Caz) first started travelling in 97 and have ever since. Craig joined me in 02 after we married and we've been travelling ever since. We have always followed the working holiday strategy and still do, only this time we have our own online business and so earn money through that while we continue to travel.

If you work as you travel, you never have to worry about saving too much to begin with and you can slow travel for as long as you like. You've always got income coming in. I was a primary school teacher and Craig a carpenter so we easily found work in other countries. We both also did other jobs like hospitality. We'd work for 1- 2 years, exploring the region we lived in during this period. We'd then take a few months in between jobs to travel through cheaper countries.

In 97, I lived in London for two years teaching and travelled around Europe in a campervan with some girlfriends. I then moved to work in Dublin for the summer before moving back home via two months travel in Vietnam and Thailand. 

After we married, we lived in Bangkok for 6 months teaching English. We then travelled South East Asia for a few months before moving to Dublin where we lived and travelled for nearly a year. After that we backpacked Africa for five months and then moved to Western Australia to work on a pearl farm for five months. We earned awesome money here, which topped up the bank for our big move to the States.

We lived in Raleigh, North Carolina for two years, finishing with a road trip across the country and then a few months travel through  China, Laos and Thailand. We then had our daughter back in Australia and when she was nine months moved back to Raleigh for another two years. We then moved back home, built up our travel blog and 16 months ago set off for a road trip around Australia.
