Professional travellers usually run a successful blog or some type of social media platform where they catalogue their adventures and review various attractions around the world. The amount of money made in this job can vary hugely depending on how large a following you have – Lia Garcia for example, who writes the blog Practical Wanderlust, made $22,000 (£15.8k) in her first year of professional travelling. The job also comes with plenty of perks, such as sponsorship and endorsement deals that generate income, and discounted stays and products.
