Where's WiL My around the world solo travel blog

Less then a month into my journey I hit my first ‘bump’. While exploring Thailand, it has been difficult to find both the time and opportunity to work and my earnings have suffered because of this (additionally my charger broke and I couldn’t use my computer for some time). Just like with most online business, they’re in constant change, and ...

Ko Samet island (spelled with many mixes of Ko, Koh, Samet and Samed) in Thailand is a resort style, tourist destination off the coast of Rayong (Central East Thailand). Getting to Rayong, is not hard, and Ko Samet transportation packages are advertised at most tourism agencies. Many people take a bus to the pier but I went with a group ...

Only an 11 baht (3rd class) train ride from Lak Si station in Bangkok, takes you to the ancient capital of Siam (now Thailand), Ayutthaya. Which is a chill destination and a great place to go to get away from the city chaos that is Bangkok. Exiting the train, you walk can either take a tuk-tuk or walk down the ...

Waking up easily from the sound of footsteps, I was far less tired then I would have predicted (only getting around five hours of sleep). Today is the day, the day that I’ve waited for, planned for, for longer then I can remember. …and how do I feel? I remember when I was a kid, unable to sleep, excited for ...

I wanted to give you a little more information on how to do that. I started self publishing in early 2012 but lost interest. After my sales of ~$100/month ...

Seven years ago now, after my Yellow Fever scare from a vaccine that had me in the ER on Christmas Eve, a large group of my family went on a two week photo-safari across Kenya. My memory has faded a bit and I’m sure the country has changed (they’ve had a civil war since) but I try and describe my ...

If you can make money while you travel, you would never need to stop. Keeping the cost of travel low, an individual can survive abroad for as little as $500 a month and travel for as little as $1,000 a month (depending on your location). My plan is to make money while I’m traveling so that I can see the ...

“I want to see the world! …but it’s expensive” one of the main thought that keeps an individual from taking the leap to start traveling is the expectation of the high cost of travel. The cost of travel varies depending on where you go and what you want to do. Whether you want a structured trip or a free form ...
