Funding your Travels by Freelancing Abroad - My Experience

Image
There are loads of blogs out there about working as a freelancer whilst you travel the world, but I haven't seen one yet which goes too deeply into the actual logistics of it - how much you need to earn, how many hours you need to work, etc. So I'm writing my own! Whilst I know this blog is focused on UpWork, I still think this will be useful - and as basically all of my income at the moment is from UpWork hopefully it is still relevant as well! Freelancing is an up-and-down way to make money. Some weeks are more lucrative than others - at the moment my schedule is packed for the next week, but it'll fund my travels, probably for the next month or so. It's not all glamorous - I'll be eating cheaply and working a lot. I dipped into freelance for a while about a year before I set off, so I had a decent portfolio of blogs which I could use as an example of my writing style. I'd recommend that anyone who wants to freelance from abroad do the same.
