Find more ways to make money overseas in International Living Postcards—your daily escape
Dear International Living Reader,
To most travelers, a vacation is a time to relax, take in a few museums, enjoy coffee in an outdoor café, eat out, and meet new people. And I do all of that, too...but to me, a vacation is also my ticket to some easy cash…
For example, when I go to Paris, I enjoy the cafés…the lavish meals…the leisurely strolls along the Seine. And I take pictures as I go—just as we all do when we’re on vacation.
The difference for me is that I don’t just slide my pictures into an album when I get home. I sell them.

You need a “story” when you move to a new place. Some identity that the people you’ll meet can latch on to. A way to fit in.
That’s been my experience, both in Malta and Mexico. When I first moved from Washington, D.C., to Gozo, the smaller of the Maltese Islands, I was a curiosity. Had I tried to explain that I was moving someplace interesting, exploring the world, escaping U.S. politics, my story would, no doubt, have elicited blank stares.

At IL events, I'm often asked this: "Can I really make a living from travel writing? Air fares are costly—then there's hotels, food, and everything else. It's all right for you, Steenie. IL pays you to visit exotic places."
So they do, but I'm still a freelancer (which leaves me free to flaunt my wares elsewhere). I've just written a 450-word piece on Malta for a European magazine. Payment is €150 ($225).
