Karel’s letters written during travelling
 There is another option to all this, get a job working through the internet,
such as translations. Also not easy, but it allows you the freedom to
be wherever and whenever you want to be, as long as you have a laptop
and an internet connection (many times available through a mobile phone
hooked up to the laptop). Then you can travel and write about it, out
of love, as you say, and not because you are pursuing some agenda.
I'm six years on the road now and have been writing about my travels
mostly because my friends wanted updates and because I discovered that
original content helps get my pages higher in google, to help me get customers
for my primary income. Over time my friends started saying I should write
a book. Fortunately, my sister is a publisher and is rewriting it entirely,
and I am learning how it's done.
We'll split the proceeds, and my latest plan is to make a "carabike",
as I like to call it (a downgrade from my caravan in Europe but necessary
for SE Asia), and boot around this continent, writing about my zany stories.
Worst case scenario I'll have the time of my life, but it's crazy enough
already. Heck, I know I'm insane, but that puts me into insane and interesting
circumstances, which those who are afraid to take such a leap love to
read about.
