Mark Twain’s wit, humor and knack for misadventure are so hilarious, his words remain fresh to this day.

Mark Twain enjoying a cigar on the porch.
Good sex can distract you from a relationship??™s deeper problems.
The same principle applies to books. A good plot is like good sex - it can distract you from the sort of sloppy, dispassionate writing that some people refer to as ???bestsellers.???

If you??™ve got a laptop and a thirst for living abroad, you might be able to make a buck with your travel writing skills, enabling you to enjoy life and earn an income in another country even if you can??™t legally work there.
Through writing, I was able to live decently for six months in Buenos Aires, one of the most magnificent (and chaotic) cities in the world. I found new websites and magazines to write for every few weeks, and my writing assignments defined my experience there.

Long-term travel is often a tricky financially proposition.
Unless you’ve been gifted an inheritance or a lucky lotto ticket, chances are that someone wanting to join the expat community in a foreign country will have to find work there. Teaching English as a Second Language classes is, by far, the job of choice.
Not because of the perks, but simply because it is the easiest type of work to obtain. In my experience, it seems that simply standing upright and speaking several relatively coherent sentences in English is sufficient to land the job.

Upon graduating university the last thing I wanted to do was talk about career fairs, interviews and networking.
I had no interest in leaping directly into the rat race world of 9 to 5 and even less interest in establishing a career. Instead, I planned to pack my backpack after that last exam and board a one-way flight to Australia.
