A digital nomad’s dream is to travel the world and work from anywhere, especially if you believe that a travel blogger spends their days tanning on the beach and tweeting. Let me start by dispelling some myths about travel blogging as someone who has been involved in it for years.

Working on the beach is convenient

Dreaming of working on the beach, I would suggest you drop this idea from your mind now. It may sound very cool, but actually, it is not. The two most crucial factors for working are power and Wi-Fi and you lack both of them. As you struggle to fight the glare on the screen, you run the risk of getting sand on your keyboard and ruining your most essential office tool.

If you decide to work from a hotel lobby, hostel common room, or cafe, you are going to get to work from much more exotic locations than the same office cubicle every day.

Traveling and working are easy

In an article I recently read, someone made an excellent point: “entrepreneurs are unwilling to work 40 hours a week in order to avoid working 80.” You spend 12 hours on a bus, pitch, write, market, tweet, chase payments, balance accounts, manage a website, plan routes, book flights, find accommodations, find food, find, internet, search for power, air conditioning, spend half a day searching for contact lens’ solution, get sick, sleep poorly on a bus ride, and sometimes...very rarely, we sampled the nightlife and visited beaches.

Giving up is the best thing you can do if you think life as a digital nomad and the lifestyle of a travel blogger is not too easy.

You will be able to fund your trips through travel blogs

You have to be patient as this is a long procedure and involves a lot of time, hard work, and patience, you can’t start earning from day one or after a month. You have to do a lot of hard work, you might fail several times but don’t lose hope and don’t stop working hard towards your goal.

You might have listened to people saying they earn lakhs by travel blogging but the truth is that they have gone through a number of sleepless nights, years of hard work then they had achieved that position and are still working with the same spirit.
