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.​

Hey Reader! When we first cast off on our CT-41 sailboat headed down to Mexico in 2020, we were so excited. There was a LOT to learn about cruising that differed from our simple sailing and anchoring around the San Francisco Bay, which we'd done since 2016. Looking back now, each frustration taught us something valuable about what it really takes to live and travel by boat. If you’re new to cruising — or just dreaming about it — these lessons will help you skip the headaches and sail with a...

Hey Reader! Just a couple weeks ago, I had no idea we were going to come back to Italy this year. But when Indie campers offered us a camper in exchange for a review on my blog, it was hard to refuse. Especially when I'm so into travel hacking with points that I found AMAZING flight deals using my Capital One Venture rewards card. (two one-way airfares on Air France from MSP-Venice for just $50 and 20,000 points). So, we booked the tickets and picked up the camper just five days later in...

Hey Reader! Yes, I live in a van, and no, I am not a huge fan of road trips. The long hours in the car, the researching where to camp, the meals on the go, searching for water to fill our tanks.
