✈️ Travel and Earn: How I Fund My Life Abroad as an ESL Teacher

Pull up a chair — or a beach lounger, if you’ve got one handy.
Let’s talk travel, teaching, and making money on the move.

If you’ve ever scrolled through Instagram and thought, “How are these people teaching English from a pool in Bali?” — you're not alone. I thought the same thing once.

Truth is, you don’t need a huge following or a big budget to travel the world as an ESL teacher. You just need the right tools, a bit of hustle, and some brutally honest advice (that’s where I come in).

I’m Gary — an online teacher who’s spent nearly a decade in China and now works remotely across Asia, teaching students, building resources, and dodging dodgy Wi-Fi.

Here on this page, I’ll share:

✅ The platforms I’ve used to earn online (like PalFish)
✅ How I create digital resources to sell (and you can too)
✅ Visa tips, survival hacks, and where the Wi-Fi actually works
✅ My honest experience of living and working abroad

Whether you’re dreaming of tuk-tuks in Thailand or coffee shops in Cambodia — you’ll find real tips here on how to fund your travels with teaching (without burning out or selling your soul).
