In 2022 it was republished as a completely updated post.&nbsp;<\/em><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What happened since 2017?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So much has changed since then. I had decided to make my biggest wish come true and become multi-locational by renting an apartment longterm. I chose&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/how-to-find-an-apartment-in-chiang-mai\/\">Chiang Mai<\/a>&nbsp;to be my new first home. But it wasn\u2019t meant to be. Just 10 days after I had moved into my apartment \u2013 I was actually on a spontaneous trip to Hawaii in those days \u2013 I got a call that my mother had been diagnosed with cancer, final stage. I didn\u2019t think long. I had to go back to Germany.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long story short, I moved back to Germany to stay with my family in this difficult time of our lives. My mother stayed with us for another 8 months before she took her final breath. It is strange. You know that this moment will come very soon (and we were actually lucky to have her for 8 months and not just a few weeks) but it totally hits you! That\u2019s why, emotionally, I didn\u2019t manage to leave.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just more than half a year later I pulled myself together and told myself that I need to leave because I\u2019m not happy in Germany. I left in January 2020. Yeah, bad timing. I guess you all knew by reading the year that it didn\u2019t turn out \u2013 again \u2013 the way I had planned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In march 2020, I flew back to Germany but I couldn\u2019t stand the thought of being on the other side of the planet and lose my second parent to that stupid virus. I\u2019m still here. In Germany. I met someone on Tinder (classic!) and we got married in April 2021. I still dream (quite literally) of my life as a nomad but it\u2019s not my reality anymore. Maybe one day again\u2026<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>How long have you been living\/working on the road, and where have you traveled to?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>I started my nomad journey on November 5th of 2014. I began with a trip around the world (Latin America, North America, Oceania and Asia) to see if I really like traveling and working on the road. After that I just moved on because I loved it. I traveled Europe in summer and went back to Latin America in winter. After two years putting the focus on Latin America and Europe, I decided that it&#8217;s time to explore Asia again, where I am now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;After writing this, I spent an incredible 2.5 years in South East Asia with regular visits in Europe to see my family. But I traveled much less than before. I enjoyed it a lot to come back to a few places that I kind of called home \u2013 Chiang Mai, Singapore, Saigon, Canggu. I mostly traveled for visa runs not to explore new places. I made friends among locals and expats. I had my favorite caf\u00e9s to work from, to have amazing breakfast or to meet my friends for a chat. My life was just perfect.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>Please describe what you do for income.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>I&#8217;m a freelance translator and copywriter, I published 10 ebooks (two of which have been published as paperbacks, too) and I earn money through collaborations with my blog Barbaralicious. As well, I created an online course&nbsp;for students of languages or translator studies on how to become a freelance translator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;I\u2019m surprised to read that I still called myself a translator and copywriter at that time. I put more focus on my blog afterwards, I guess and went to being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/tips-for-transitioning-to-full-time-blogging\/\">full-time blogger<\/a>, teacher (I teach blogging and social media at a local school here in Germany but I teach online), and photographer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/34SlOZr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">I published 24 self-published ebooks<\/a> by now and the first one with a publishing house has been published back in June 2021. My second book with a publishing house is already written but not out yet and I just signed the contract for a third one. So, I would say things have changed quite a bit but in a good way.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Barbaralicious-traveling-the-world-as-a-blogger-and-author.jpg\" alt=\"Barbaralicious traveling the world as a blogger and author\" class=\"wp-image-15226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Barbaralicious-traveling-the-world-as-a-blogger-and-author.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Barbaralicious-traveling-the-world-as-a-blogger-and-author-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Barbaralicious-traveling-the-world-as-a-blogger-and-author-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>How many hours per week do you work on average?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>I work around 100 hours per week. Sometimes a bit less, but it happens as well that I work more, for example when I have many collaborations or events to attend, because I still have freelance projects and my blog, which I both don&#8217;t want to pause in those occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;I have no idea\u2026 I don\u2019t count the hours at all anymore and also don\u2019t know what exactly to count. If I need to guess it\u2019s probably between 30 and 70 hours a week depending on the workload.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>How much money do you make?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>Unfortunately, my income varies a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With freelancing projects, sometimes I make 2K Euro in a month, sometimes I make nothing at all. In 2016, I made 12K by freelancing so 1K per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s similar with my books: On good months, I make 200 Euro, in bad months just 30 Euro. My online translator course wasn&#8217;t too much in my center of attention, but I want to change that now and make money with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;It still varies a lot but my monthly average is higher now. It also needs to be higher because life in Germany is so much more expensive. I make an average of 2-3K per month at the moment.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>Do you make enough money to support your lifestyle?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>My income alone wouldn&#8217;t be enough to support myself. Nevertheless, I always find solutions to not have to ask others for help: At the moment, I have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/the-creative-guide-to-free-or-cheap-accommodation\/\">house sitting gig<\/a> for one month, for example, which means that I have a big apartment with a pool for myself and don&#8217;t pay a penny. I have to feed a cat though. But that&#8217;s fine for me. Other solutions can be collaborations. Very often I don&#8217;t pay for accommodation because I will promote the place. I go on press trips where everything is paid or tours that include some nights in a hotel. In the first four months of 2017, I paid for a total of two weeks; the rest was covered by my collaboration partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;Yes, it\u2019s enough. Especially because my husband and I pay the bills together now. And it would also be enough to hit the road together. Unfortunately, my husband isn\u2019t allowed to work remotely.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>What do you like most about your career and lifestyle?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>I love the freedom and independence. I&#8217;m choosing where I go and when I go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:&nbsp;<\/strong>I would like to answer: I miss exactly what I wrote back then. I miss my freedom and independence. I would go back to being a nomad immediately.&nbsp;<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>What are some of the challenges you have with this career and lifestyle?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>One of the greatest challenges for me is that most people don&#8217;t understand the lifestyle. Very often, I hear: &#8220;You can&#8217;t live like this!&#8221; or &#8220;You are always on vacation!&#8221; No matter how hard I try to explain the digital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/digital-nomad-lifestyle-environmentally-friendly-no-footprint-nomads\/\">nomad lifestyle<\/a>, some people will never get what it&#8217;s about. It took my family almost 1.5 years to understand it and I&#8217;m not sure if they really do now or if they just say it so we don&#8217;t fight anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;I can still relate to the challenges I had back then. It even got worse since now people say things like \u201cOh, you finally got a normal life\u201d or when I tell friends how much I miss Thailand \u201cGet used to it. This is the normal life\u201d. It breaks my heart. But at the moment, I won\u2019t be able to change the situation.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>What is your vision for the future of your lifestyle on the road?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>I will probably be nomadic in a certain way for the rest of my life. I don&#8217;t think that I will ever be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/why-settle-down-is-a-bad-word-or-not\/\">settle down<\/a> again. I would like to have several bases though making my life multi-locational and move from there. At the moment, I&#8217;m more roaming around without any base at all, although I still have a room at my parents&#8217; place. It doesn&#8217;t feel like &#8220;my home&#8221; though and I would like to have something like it. So perhaps a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/how-to-find-an-apartment-in-chiang-mai\/\">condo in Chiang Mai<\/a> and a room in Bali would do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2022:<\/strong>&nbsp;It\u2019s still my dream to live muli-locational. Maybe one day.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><b>Any advice for the aspiring traveler about living and working on the road and managing finances?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017: <\/strong>If I could go back in time, I would probably tell myself not to leave with so little savings. It takes time to be financially independent and it makes things so much easier when you don&#8217;t need to worry about money all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Nora\u2019s note: Amen to that!
