Write a literary account of your travels

If all else fails (and you are an incredible wordsmith), take a crack at writing the next "Green Hills of Africa," "Homage to Catalonia," or "The Sun Also Rises."

If the book does well, you could have a cash cow on your hands in the form of royalties and advance checks.

Of course, most would-be authors will never see a cent from their travels or literary hard work.

If you have the courage to try, you could end up with the traveling lifestyle and your pick of publications to print your essays and stories.
