If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ll know that I love my job. I mean, I would keep working at it even if I wasn’t getting paid, but luckily we do get paid 😉.
The job is travel blogging and Dariece and I have been doing it for over a decade, which means we’d be considered what the kids are calling “OG Travel bloggers”.
In other words, we’re old.
In this post, I want to share with you exactly why we love this job so much and why I think more people should start their own blogs to enjoy the creativity, location freedom, and income that can come from running a successful blog (in any niche).

10 Reasons Travel Bloggers Will Never Return To a 9-5
Alright so with that out of the way, let’s get started. Here’s my list of 10 reasons that I still think travel blogging is the best job on earth.
1. It Pays Well
Don’t judge me for putting income as number one! Listen, if we didn’t make money from our blogs, then there’s no way we could have continued traveling, working, and living abroad for the past 15 years.
When we worked in Canada, I was working 80 hours per week sometimes and I managed to earn a pretty good wage. What blows me away is that with our blogs, we’re often working only 15-20 hours per week and we’ve had single months where we have taken home what I used to earn in an entire year.
I’m incredibly grateful for the way things have turned out in our blogging careers, and I still pinch myself sometimes thinking about the fact that we managed to turn this lifestyle into a business over the years.
2. It Doesn’t Feel Like Work
A blogger’s work is taking photos, writing articles, sharing on social media, and in some cases, managing a team. For us, these are all things that we LOVE doing.
Even if I was retired and had all of the money in the world, I’d still want to have some passion project to work on from my pajamas every morning and right now, our multiple blogs are the perfect project.
3. Working From Anywhere
Over the years we’ve had some insane offices. From a treehouse in the jungles of Ecuador, and a bungalow on the rim of a volcano in Guatemala, to apartments in Rome, villas in Bali, and luxury houses with infinity pools overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
