“I earn six figures sharing healthy travel tips”

-

“I’ve always loved to travel and explore local cuisine, but I used to have to make food in my hotel room because there weren’t a lot of restaurant­s that catered to vegans like myself. When I realized there were other people who had the same challenges, I decided to launch a website (HealthyVoy­ager.com) and YouTube channel where I could share healthy travel tips. As I started to make more money, I realized I could turn this into a full-time job.

“I create videos about how to find restaurant­s that serve healthy, vegan and gluten-free fare in various cities and countries. I also offer travel tips and share informatio­n about healthy activities.

“Initially, I launched my site on Blogger.com, a free platform, used a digital camera and edited the shows myself. Now I use WordPress and my iPhone and I hire an editor. I market my content with an email newsletter, on social media and when I’m asked to appear on TV.

“Today my show is syndicated on other digital channels, which is how I earn money. I also get paid by travel companies, hotels and tourism boards to write sponsored posts. As a result of my website, I’ve been hired to speak about healthy living, social media and building a brand. I also wrote a cookbook, The Healthy Voyager’s Global Kitchen: 100 PlantBased Recipes From Around the World.

“The money I make—a six-figure income—pays the bills and helps me and my family and friends travel to new destinatio­ns like the Grand Canyon.”
