Although working in an office or in a retail store is a way to earn a living, another way is by traveling across the country. All you really need is an RV and a desire to see what other states have to offer. If you don’t want to sacrifice your traditional job, you could always wait until retirement to travel around the country to earn a little extra money to supplement any social security income that you receive.
Some of the ways that you can earn a living while traveling around the country include selling photography, selling images that are taken using drones, and writing blogs. It’s a good idea to stay in one location for a few weeks so that you can take as many pictures as possible and so that you can gather plenty of information to share with others. Google Maps is a good source to locate restaurants and attractions so that you can budget money.
Another benefit of using Google Maps is that you likely won’t get lost while traveling to smaller cities and communities. You’ll also be able to see where the lowest gas prices are located and where you can stay in your RV so that you don’t have to spend money on a hotel room.
Mi-Fi is an option that you want to have available so that you can access the internet on your phone or laptop if you plan on venturing away from a Wi-Fi signal. If you plan on taking a few adventurous pictures, then consider getting a cell strap. This will keep your mobile device anchored so that you don’t lose or drop it while you’re walking around or while you’re doing other activities and need to have your device close by without using it all the time.
A battery charger is an essential component to have on hand when you’re making a living while traveling. Everything from your Mi-Fi unit to your mobile devices and laptop can be kept charged in your vehicle until they are needed. There are solar-powered chargers so that you don’t plug the charger into the cigarette lighter of your car and drain your car battery.
If you plan on doing a lot of walking, then take a stick with you. It will provide support if you get tired, and you can attach your mobile device on the stick to make it easier to take pictures. Another item that comes in handy while traveling is a soft cooler. It can collapse when you’re not using it, making it easy to store. There are also soft waterproof coolers that are ideal for taking with you in a raft on a river in order to take pictures of these details to sell and share with others as well. Binoculars are good to have on hand so that you can get the best view of sights that are far away without taking a long walk.
Bluetooth speakers are good to have on hand so that you have music to listen to on long walks by yourself. When you travel near any kind of water, make sure you have waterproof bags for your electronic devices and important documents that you need to carry. Keep a small toolkit in your RV or personal vehicle in case you need to make repairs. You should also keep insect repellent with you if you plan in traveling in the summer months, especially if your destination is one that is humid and known for bugs. Mesh window covers work to provide protection for your vehicles as well.
