Hey Reader,

We've been hanging out in San Francisco for the last couple of days, visiting family and stealth camping on city streets. Stealth camping isn't my favorite thing - it's a bit nerve-wracking - but it's really the only way to be in or near the city for dinnertime.

Plus, we gave $200 to the local economy, so hopefully that's payment enough for taking a parking spot for a couple of nights.

Anyway, I am plugging away working even while visiting people in the Bay area. And THIS, how to make money on the road, is one of the biggest questions I am asked.

That's why at The Wayward Home, we keep compiling content to give people ideas on how to create an income while traveling full-time.

Our latest post is about How 10 Van Lifers Make Money on the Road.​

​How These 10 Van Lifers Make Money on the Road​

Wondering if its possible to make money from your van? These 10 van lifers each have a unique way to fund their traveling dreams. We hope you find this inspiring!

BTW, are you on Threads yet? I've been having some lively conversations over there lately, including this one, about how expensive camping is in San Francisco!

How was your weekend?

Hey Reader! People love to ask me how I afford this life. Here are questions I get on my Facebook pages all the time: “Are you a trust fund baby?” “Do your parents pay for all this?” “Do you even pay taxes?” Yep, I’ve heard it all. The truth is, it took years of hard work, many moments of doubt, and learning a ton about online business to build the life I have now: traveling full-time in both a campervan and on a sailboat. In my latest blog post, I’m spilling the details on: The exact ways I...

Hey Reader! As we journey north through the Sea of Cortez to haul our boat out at the boatyard, I'm starting to think about summer van life adventures. I'm looking forward to easy access to hiking, jogging, and mountain biking, things that are harder to achieve with sailboat life. By the way, if you don't have a van yet, I HIGHLY recommend renting one before buying.

Hey Reader! Today is the first day on our passage down the Baja Peninsula that I actually feel okay, maybe even good. We left Long Beach on Saturday night and haven't stopped since. Here's a picture of me on the Long Beach public dock outside Ballast Point hours before we left: Right now we are behind Isla Cedros, protected from the Pacific swell. The wind is light and the weather warm. I slept in two decent shifts: 8:30pm-1230pm, and then again from 730am-1030am. I've always heard that DAY...
