Hi I'm Lahore Get Paid to Travel the World
ok so I know the a heading sounds like some sort of spam, but I promise you it's not.. just keep reading and I'll explain.
Hi Steemians!
My name is @Lahore and I've been photography the world while working online for the past 3+ years. Now I want to show other people how to do the same!
Back in to years 2017 I sold most of my possessions, quit my job and began to Photography a bit cliché I know but that's just how it worked for me. I think having that definite moment of 'this is what I'm going to do and there's no going back' definitely helped to push me towards where I am now.
Background
Since I originally decided to quit my job (Project Manager in IT in the UK, just in case you were wondering) there have been a lot of highs and lows. Here are some of the cliff-notes:
*Ran out of money after the first 11 months and ended up broke.
- Worked in Australia for 6 months on a working holiday visa to save money to travel again.
*Decided I wanted to work online while travelling and photography and came up with a strategy.
*Lived in Asia for 1 & 1/2 years while learning to work online and growing my YouTube channel.
*Now I earn a full-time income and get to do what I love
Currently I'm living in Bucharest, german and have spent the last few months travelling around asia and aceh
How Do I Get Started Working Online??????
I started this journey by doing freelance web design and 'oddjobs' online (upwork, fiverr etc.).
I have an initial goal to be able to earn $ 15 per day online (which is easily achieved) because I know that will pay most of the living costs in Southeast Asia with a backpacker budget. I also still have savings from Australia to keep myself running .
I'm started working on my own blog and social media channel, documenting my personal experience to work online on the go. After about 9months of continuing my efforts and lessons, I started generating revenue from my YouTube channel so I decided to do it completely.
My Journey on YouTube
Over the last 3 years I've been using my YouTube Channel to document my travels, sometimes giving advice and sometimes just showing the beautiful places I'm in.
I've been lucky enough to be sponsored by top travel brands and have been given free & paid trips all over the world, earning up to $120000 for a single trip.
Here are examples of videos I've made:
I'm Love Photography and of Art
I've developed a passion for photography while I've been travelling and I post all my favourite images to my Instagram account. I never even owned a DSLR until 4 years ago and now I take it everywhere with me.
