As a full-time travel blogger and blogging coach, As a full-time travel blogger and blogging coach, I am always looking for ways to boost my passive income. I mean, earning $100+ per day passively is a pretty sweet deal, right?! 

One of the easiest ways to monetize your travel blog like mine is with @travelpayouts ⚡️

With Travelpayouts, you can join the most trusted and popular travel affiliate programs (such as Booking.com, GetYourGuide, Viator, Expedia, Busbud, etc) — all under ONE dashboard! 

What this essentially means is that, instead of having multiple separate accounts for each affiliate program, I can pool them all under the Travelpayouts Partnership Program and get paid out via a single wallet 💰

(Yes, it’s that easy, which is why I wish I had started using it much sooner!) 

Soo…

✨ Q1. How do you actually make money with Travelpayouts?

Once you join (signing up takes < 2 minutes), you can start creating tracked affiliate links/widgets from your favorite travel partners to share with your blog or social audience. Then, once your audience clicks + books that experience/hotel/etc, you will earn a commission % of the sale. 

Affiliate marketing X travel content is basically a positive feedback loop, which is why I love it as an additional source of income for travel blogging — I can travel like I do and then promote those same experiences/etc with my audience and earn money for it. 

Best of all? Affiliate income snowballs overtime as your strategy + traffic improve and grow 🚀

✨ Q2. Do you need to be an existing/pro blogger to sign up? 

NOPE! There is a no entry threshold with @travelpayouts so even if you are a new blogger or content creator, you can join and apply to these programs to monetize your travel blog or social content right away. 

🎁 Also, if you sign up today with my unique code “BRI” Travelpayouts will give you an additional $25 on top of your first payout! Sign up in my bio or stories! 🥳

To learn more juicy info about the @travelpayouts all-in-one affiliate network for travel bloggers and content creators, head over to my latest blog post!

Folks are always surprised when I tell them I’ve Folks are always surprised when I tell them I’ve been living abroad and traveling for the last 8+ years! 

Fun and rewarding travel doesn’t have to be expensive. 

Here’s how you can make mindful nomadic travel more affordable ⬇️ 

1. For finding free house/petsitting opportunities in cool places, I use @trustedhousesitters . There is a yearly membership to join but it’s worth it because you can sit in so many places around the world for ✨ FREEEEE ✨ and we’d never get to stay in cool (erm... expensive) places as we have — our previous sits have been in Vancouver, British Columbia / Bend, Oregon / Asheville, North Carolina! The other day I found one in Koh Samui, Thailand for 1.5 months and I was honestly this 🤏 close to applying on a whim. 

2. Local, slow travel (traveling in one place for longer periods of time 6 months > 6 days) is how we’ve afforded to live abroad for years on end. We live well below our means and try to match the local rent as best we can. We often find local apartments for rent on destination FB groups. I have tons of slow travel / digital nomad guides on my blog if you need extra help for getting started! ✨ 

3. Work/cultural exchanges and (responsible) volunteer programs can be a great way to integrate into a host destination and community mindfully while on a budget. Check out programs like @workawayinfo or @worldpackers 

Let me know if you’d like more tips like these or if you have any questions! 🫶

Our last road trip? 🥲 Is anyone keen to buy o Our last road trip? 🥲 

Is anyone keen to buy our vintage 1990 Dodge Ram Roadtrek with only 110k original miles?? 

Our van story ⬇️ ✨🚐

In 2019, we were living in Mexico when I (Bri) had the tug to buy a vintage van and road trip North America in it. We found the perfect one, drove it 4 days back to Tennessee to change the plates, and then geared up for our cross-Canada road trip. We drove over 10,000 miles in six months, from Nayarit, Mexico all the way to Newfoundland & Labrador then back across Canada to Vancouver, where we stored it for the winter. 
As you can imagine, our plans to pick up our road trip again in May 2020 weren’t possible. In fact, Canada didn’t open its borders for another TWO YEARS. During that time, our van sat parked outside in a little U-haul parking lot with just a tarp for protection (that ripped and had to be replaced). 
When we finally got back to it in May of 2022—to our surprise—our van started on the 5th try (3x Paul, then 2x me), and only had one flat tire. From there, we drove it across BC and Alberta, crossed the Rockies, and then journeyed on down around the Olympic Peninsula in WA and then explored Oregon for the first time. Since winter in the van (in the PNW) isn’t so pleasant, we had to store it again. So at the end of October 2022, we stored it and flew back to a new state in Mexico to wait out winter. In May 2023 (are you seeing a pattern here), we picked Van Rouge up again and dusted her off, again, and this time she started on the 2nd try. We started road-tripping around WA, then crossed over into Idaho, and then...? And then, nearly abruptly, we decided it was time to stop. 🛑 

For the first time since owning the van, we felt like we were moving forward but in no direction. Chasing a dream of our former selves. 

Letting go, or at least making that decision, made me want to hold on to our beasty Van Rouge even more so that I never forget that feeling of freedom or all those epic memories we made. 

But this sunset-soaked drive reminded me that, letting go, doesn’t mean I will. 

This van and I, we had something special. I found her, and she took me to places that helped find me.🥹

Thank goodness for a little thing called the inter Thank goodness for a little thing called the internet — and family group chats — because otherwise… living this slow travel nomadic life would be sooo hard! 

Already, by choosing to live abroad I’ve had to miss a lot of core life moments over the last decade like milestone birthdays, deaths, graduations, anniversaries, pregnancies, etc. But it’s also the daily/weekly moments I miss out on most (and miss the most) — nights in watching movies, nights out for dinner, weekends away, and every laugh and tear in between. 🥺

Of course, I miss my family and I love seeing them when I go home (or when they come visit me!). But moving abroad and being the “far away daughter” is honestly the best decision/act I’ve ever made for my life (sorry + love u momma 🥰). 

It was something I felt pulled to do early on in life and it’s shaped me immensely and I’m eternally grateful to this world, this life, and to the family that supports me — the home I get to “go home” to. 

Have you ever lived abroad or do you now?
