If you are skilled in the digital media industry, whether it be design, advertising, photography, marketing, coding, SEO writing or content marketing, you can make money from it whilst you are travelling. Think about it, all you really need is a laptop and Wi-Fi connection and you can have money coming in. There’s no better time to take on a freelance lifestyle than when you’re travelling on a gap year. You can choose to earn a small amount of money on a farm, in a sweaty shop or you can choose to work on a beach, in a comfortable café or on a balcony with glorious views. The digital nomad lifestyle is one many people are fortunate to enjoy, and you can too. Just make sure you insure your expensive gear and buy a rugged case for extra caution.
