I’ve been living in Japan for the last six months, and I love it so much. Japan is an incredible country with so much to offer, however, there are many traditions and norms that may differ from what you are accustomed to. Japan is a very formal society, and has many rules that are surprising to foreigners.

Let’s talk about something everyone wants to know: remote ways to make money while you travel that actually work. I see so many people talking about remote job opportunities but often there are some issues. Most opportunities require high-level skills, don’t provide a liveable salary or plain don’t work! Remote English teaching is one of the quickest and easiest remote jobs you can get started in just a few days.

My Story
At first I thought I would be a doctor, then a lawyer, next I tried my hand at teaching and then running hotels...Safe to say I'm winging it just like everyone else!
I've always had a love for travel, but I also knew that full-time travel is often considered unrealistic. I went to university, worked "typical" jobs and realized I had never been happier than when I was travelling. Living outside of my comfort zone and being spontaneous is where I thrive. I decided to pack up my life and move across the world alone. Two weeks later I left, and I have never looked back since. Now, nearly three years later, my goal is to share my love of travel with others. I want to show people that full-time travel is accessible for anyone. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely not always sunshine and rainbows, but neither is anything in life. So welcome to my adventure, where I'm getting REAL with you guys. How I got started, what it takes to travel full-time, how to sustain yourself, the lessons I've learned, the mistakes I've made and everything else along the way.
