Did I miss a site, that you’d like to see on this list? Post your suggestions to the comments, and I’ll be happy add your must have sites to the list.
How about exploring ways you can make or save money from any property you own to support your travelling.
You can rent out your property if you are away for an extended period. Or do a house swap to keep accomodation costs down. Or go and be a house-sitter or house-keeper for someone else - while not actually earning you can make your money go lots further by reducing accomodation costs. Or use a social networking site to find other travellers who can give you free accomodation (you have to be prepared to reciprocate of course).

Good ideas Heather. Maybe I should write a follow up post…
Christine Gilberts last blog post..A Difference Between Vacationing and Living?
Some great resources listed there…
I don’t want to spam your comments here…but I recently posted an article on my site about getting a job in Antarctica.
While not truly making money while traveling, you get a paycheck, some awesome travel benefits and once your contract is up a free plane ticket to do with as you please, not to mention not paying for anything while you are at work so once you’re done you have a lot of bank and can spend time traveling…especially great if you want a free trip to New Zealand or Chile…
Again, great article!
Will: Not spam at all, would love to list your article. Just post the link and it’s done.
here it is How to Get a Job in Antarctica
Cheers!
Will: Added! Thanks!
Everyone else: send me your links, if you have them.
English teaching, I did that part time in the Middle East, it was ok but if you decide to teach try to specialize in something – I taught Military English to Officers in the Qatari Army. No one else was doing anything like that so I was in pretty high demand so I could charge 50 bucks an hour.
I know a few people that work or have worked in Antarctica, it is by no means an easy place to live. Just google Raytheon Polar Services
But if you are clever and are willing to learn new skills you can make allot of money wile traveling – I have for the past 8 years
P.S. Cool Blog, good luck with your travels

Thanks - will definitely reference this in the near future!
This is a great post, I favorited your blog and added your feed.
Wow! Thank you! I always wanted to write in my site something like that. Can I take part of your post to my blog?
It is good to read relevant information on your blog. Thanks.
Not attemting to spam either, just wanted to inform other travelers, in relation to what Heather said back in 08′ about social networking sites. Im in the process of starting a social networking blogosphere for world travelers. The site is not up yet but being developed as we speak. Soon there will be a page where you can enter your email to get updates on progress, cheap travel deals, articles and so on. Christine, if you are interested in having reciprocal links to each others sites, let me know.
ALL THE BEST AND TRAVEL LITE EVERYONE
