here are extra travel tips to make you a savvy traveler as you attempt to travel the world and earn money online as you go:

Do your research. Before you even book your flights, learn as much as you can about your destination. This includes reading travel blogs, checking out online forums, and talking to people who have already been there. The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be for your trip. Your intention should be to start earning as soon as you get to where ever you are going. Research the area thoughly if you intend to be a tour guide 

Pack light. This is especially important if you’re planning on doing a lot of traveling on your own. The less stuff you have to carry, the easier it will be to get around and the less likely you are to lose anything.

1. Take only what you need.
   This goes hand-in-hand with packing light. When you’re packing, ask yourself if you really need that item. If you’re not sure, leave it at home.
   
   
2. Pack versatile clothes.
   Choose clothes that can be dressed up or down, and that can be worn in a variety of weather conditions. This will save you space in your suitcase and give you more options for your outfits.
   
   
3. Bring a large towel.
   This is a must-have for any traveler, whether you’re staying in a hostel or a luxury hotel. You can use it to dry off after a shower, to sit on at the beach, or even as a makeshift blanket.
   
   
4. Buy a small backpack or suitcase.
   This is the best way to travel light and still have enough space for everything you need.
   
   
5. Pack a first-aid kit.
   This is especially important if you’re traveling to a remote area or if you have any health concerns.
   
   
6. Bring a copy of your passport and important documents.
   Keep these in a safe place, such as your money belt or a locked suitcase.
   
   
7. Get travel insurance.
   This is one of the most important things you can do before you travel. It will protect you in case of lost luggage, medical emergencies, or other unforeseen events.
   
   
8. Learn a few phrases in the local language. 
   This will show your hosts that you’re making an effort to learn about their culture, and it will also make your travels easier.
   
   
9. Be respectful of local customs. 
   This means dressing appropriately, being mindful of your noise level, and avoiding taking photos of people without their permission.
   
   
10. Be aware of your surroundings. 
    This is especially important when you’re traveling in a big city or in a country where you’re not familiar with the culture.
    
    
11. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. 
    If you’re lost or if you need help with something, don’t be afraid to ask a local for assistance.
    
    
12. Be prepared for anything. 
    This means packing for all types of weather, bringing a first-aid kit, and having a backup plan in case of emergencies.
    
    
13. Stay positive and have fun!

• • Freelance write or edit. There are many websites that connect freelance writers and editors with clients. This is a great way to make money while you travel, and it can be done from anywhere in the world. Write about your experiences as a travelling tour guide. There are lots of stories that have not been written yet.

• • Teach English online. Teach English to anybody that is willing to pay. This is a popular way to make money online, and it doesn’t require any prior teaching experience. There are many companies that hire online English teachers, and you can usually set your own hours. Teach from anywhere.

• • Start an online business. That you can promote as you travel. This is a more challenging option, but it can be very rewarding. If you have a product or service that you think people would be interested in, you can start an online business and sell it to people all over the world that you may meet. The ones that you don’t meet you sell online.
