This is by far the question we get asked the most; it's also the thing I’m most curious about when I see other full-time travelers, so I get it! For us, it’s a combination of things. We saved up a chunk for buying and building out the bus and to get us started on our trip. We’re renting out our apartment in NYC, which helps us cover big costs like insurance. David sells his photography here and does some freelance graphic design work. For adventure-y excursions, like boat tours, helicopter rides, and charter flights, we’ve been very fortunate to partner with a few awesome companies who give us comped or discounted services in exchange for marketing work. We also have a bunch of side hustles in the works! We’re open to sponsorships, both for individual blog posts and for the trip more broadly—if you think your company would be a good fit, or if you know of a company that would, we’d love to hear from you!I think we also have to note that being able to do this is an enormous privilege. We were super fortunate not to have debt and to be able to save up to buy the bus. We also couldn’t do this if we didn’t have something to fall back on in case everything goes haywire; if we were ever in trouble, we could crash with our parents until we figured it out. So while we’ve worked hard to be able to do this and we’re funding it all ourselves, we also recognize that having a fall-back place to go makes our situation a whole lot more tenable. There are a lot of ways to make road life work if it’s what you want to do, but it would be disingenuous to tell you determination is the only important factor.For more details on how we make money from the road, check out this post!
