Earning money while traveling

QUESTION: We finished your book Vanabode. We love it! We
have been saving penny by penny for 5 years to live on the road
and dreaming of the freedom ahead. We are now getting closer to
our dream and a few weeks ago I did a Google search to see if there
was anybody out there with our same dream of freedom. Within a few
searches I came across your book.
We purchased it and read it cover to cover and have done some research
on your websites. I have never seen anything like it. Very high
quality, great pictures and straight to point - exactly what we
needed.
We love to road trip and more than anything love to be together.
We were so excited to read your book and be reassured that this
is possible. We are both educators where if we continue for the
next 25 years like our colleagues our soul will be eaten away by
trying to "save the world" in our classrooms while getting
chewed up and spit out by demanding parents, standardized test scores,
and unrealistic district administration.
Enough of that nonsense, we love life and the joy and fulfillment
that come from the adventures on the road.
We have some ideas to help financially sustain us on the road but
need some guidance. How long have you been working the websites
like you describe in the book. We want to have income on top of
our savings and don't know whether to be completely untethered by
running a site like you do, or simply settle into the seasonal jobs
you have links to in the book where we can work 4 months-travel-work
2 months somewhere else-travel, rinse and repeat
.

MY ANSWER: It seems as though your main question is: Should
we take the time to build a portable income or simply work at the seasonal
places you link to in the book (then travel in the off season on the money)?
Since you are both college graduates with an extensive teaching background
I would keep my job, then Vanabode the country during the 90 days you
have off work during the school break summer vacation.
If you are leaving your job I would recommend you set up a website as explained on my Income from Home page. This will be easy for you since their are two of you and
you are both educated (experience writing). Otherwise simply test out the seasonal work strategies outlined in the book. If you don't like it simply go back to one of the aforementioned strategies.
As a side note: I am NOT a big employer myself because I like
to keep things small and simple...but I will pay $10-$15 per page with
pictures for articles like these for example
chuckanut drive washington vacation
goldfield nevada
This is a question from a list of camping
questions those on my email list have asked my help with.
