For most people, the ultimate dream is to be able to travel the world. While this is a dream for most people, the major hurdle is the fact they cannot maintain any type of steady income while on the road. But with the advent of portable netbooks and the internet, there are many ways to incorporate income with telecommuting almost anywhere in the world.

Most people think that outside of western nations there is limited internet activity. This can be furthest from the truth. In fact, most of the most wired countries and fastest internet in the world are not in the western world but in Asia. Countries like South Korea, Japan and Thailand have internet capabilities that surpass the United States and other western nations due to the fact that their providers do not cap their downloading or uploading speed.

With astounding internet technology, you can implement many ways to gain income while traveling. If you are going from place to place, you can choose to try online gaming or sports betting sites to grow your travel funds. These sites can be surprisingly lucrative for those who know what they are doing.

One of the best ways to get some extra funds for travel is to take part in the many survey sites available. Most of the surveys these sites offer will be in the range of one dollar. While that may not sound like much money, it is significant if you can earn twenty or thirty dollars for spending a few hours online in countries where you can get a hotel room for ten dollars. And while the majority of surveys are around one dollar, some of these survey sites offer up to 15 dollars per survey.

If you are planning on staying in a specific place for a period of time, then you can try to sell local handmade goods through sites such as eBay or other online marketplaces. None of these options will make you rich, but they will allow you to supplement your travel.
