Hi Susan,
You must be new to the site – welcome! 🙂
To answer your questions:
1) Yes! I publish my annual income as well as expenses each year. Here’s 2011: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/financially-sustainable-travel-part-1-my-2011-income/
(And here’s my full collection of expense/income summaries: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/category/annual-expense-income-reviews/)

2) Yes, I do have quite the portfolio of writing! You can see selected things I’ve written here: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/writing-publicity/

3) Yes, I’m something of an expert in getting free accommodation around the world. It’s an amazing (and very cost-effective) way to travel! Here’s some more info: https://www.theprofessionalhobo.com/travel-tips-resources/get-free-accommodation-around-world/

I found myself curious on your income for the same period… do you have a ‘portfolio’ type of employment with your writing, and _____… I see you may have exchanged housesitting/pet care for accommodations … which is also fun and a very cool thing to do!

I’m enjoying your writing; thank you!

I’m an aspiring chef and for the past 3 years I’ve been on my “Food Journey”. I’ve been in 4 different states and various cities just to gain inspiration for my craft. I’m now in my complacent phase here in Vermont and ready to just continue my trek across the globe. Your blog is quite insightful when it comes to budget travel and the best way of doing so because as we all know that in the culinary field we don’t make a lot. I was worried about funds and such until I stumbled across your blog this morning and it definitely gave me hope for the end of the year.

Hi Libby,
I love using my smartphone to track expenses; as I spend a dollar, I log it into my phone!
If you have an iPhone, I absolutely adore using Trail Wallet:

Wondering. Because I’m really bad at keeping track of my expenses and will definitely have to get better no matter what I do or where I go, how do you track this?

Cheers!
