This question has been the biggest struggle for me since we started traveling in an RV. Should I spend my days working or exploring? We initially started traveling in an RV because it was a way for us to explore the country, travel cheap, and spend longer periods of time in places. But once we fell in love with the lifestyle, we had to mix a bit more practicality into the equation and pay our bills alongside the travel. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rve/message

When thinking of monetizing a travel blog, most people think of Amazon affiliates, advertising, and other "passive income" strategies. But these aren't the most efficient if you're trying to build up revenue early on from a travel blog. Those strategies are fine, but they take way more time, knowledge, and skill than most people have or are willing to learn. Sorry, but true.

Today on the podcast, I am interviewing Kim Greene from Harvest Hosts, a collection of farms and wineries across the country that allow you to come and stay overnight for free.

Obviously one of the biggest expenses while RVing is campground rates. One easy way to combat this is to boondock for long periods of time on BLM land or in national forests or in your friend’s driveway who doesn’t mind putting up with you and your RV for an extended stay. But if driveway stays don’t appeal to you and maybe you’re not set up mentally or RV isn’t set up physically for long boondocking periods, I wanted to talk about a way to drastically decrease camping fees.
