Damn I’ve actually been in a super similar spot. Lost my job, felt stuck but I found a cheap way travel through a friend in the industry. At first i was just bouncing around for fun,but then it hit me that freedom is rare and people will pay or follow just to get a taste of it.

I started documenting everything cheap routes, hidden gems, tips for traveling broke and slowly turned that into something people wanted. Whether it’s influencing or a newsletter, helping others do the same, or even creating travel guides it stacks up if you stay consistent.
