Making money while traveling isn't just a fantasy

The Covid-19 pandemic prompted a remote work boom, but five years on, there’s now a return-to-office push at companies across America. Why? CEOs muse about productivity. Expensive commercial real estate sits empty. Some experts say the policies are meant to drive some folks to quit. But one thing’s for sure: these RTO policies are leading to lower job satisfaction rates.

The flexibility of remote work allows employees to work from just about anywhere. Some remote workers really take advantage of that flexibility and work while traveling. Here at The Penny Hoarder, we love that kind of ingenuity.

Are you looking to make some money while traveling? Whether you’re a full-time freelancer who’s been bitten by the travel bug or you’re just trying to make some extra cash to pay for your flight, our guide on working while traveling will break down the logistics and give you some ideas to get started.
