Live The Dream

Wherever we travel we meet travellers who are just about to run out of money. They have two options:

1. Find Work
2. Go Home

Fortunately there's a 3rd option which we discovered several years ago.

Write a website about your travels or any other passion that you may have and earn a living online.

This Vietnam website along with other travel sites that we've created along the way allows us to spend as much time travelling as we wish without ever having to worry about getting a job or going home.

In fact we spent all last year in Australia and are now writing a new site about Brisbane.
