Asia remains one of the most popular tourist hubs anywhere in the world, although it's fair to say that the region has become largely inaccessible since the outbreak of the coronavirus at the beginning of the year.
There are signs that the international travel industry may be reopening for business, however, as a rise in domestic tourism helps to sustain countries such as Thailand and lay the foundations for cross-border trips in the near-term.
If you intend to travel through Asia over an extended period of time, you may have to identify new and creative ways of generating income. Here are some ideas to help you on your way:
Travel Blogging
One of the best options is to create a travel blog, which can provide an outlet for your passion, chart your adventure and establish a viable source of passive income.
Make no mistake; there's significant demand for first-hand tales of trips through Asia and similarly exotic regions, as people look to plan their own trips and identify the best amenities and places to stay.
From a financial perspective, you can generate income by selling ad space to relevant partners on your blog site. Over time, you may even be able to post paid content from like-minded voices online, creating additional revenue and adding some much-needed diversity to your platform.
Trade Forex and Similar Assets Online
The forex market and similar financial entities have become increasingly accessible during the digital age, with online brokers and apps such as the MetaTrader 4 now providing a gateway to real-time marketplaces.
These apps also make it easier than ever to build a lucrative portfolio of assets as a casual trader, as you can use associated analytical tools and technical indicators to determine which currency pairings over the most potential at any given time.
These platforms also enable traders to access the forex market 24 hours each day, which is crucial given the volatile and global nature of the foreign exchange.
Make no mistake; this is a source of genuinely passive income when travelling overseas, and one that can boost your coffers without forcing you to compromise on your trip.
Make and Sell Items Online
In general terms, attempting to make money online offers the best way of generating income when travelling overseas, and there are several ways in which you can achieve this goal.
More specifically, there's certainly a growing demand for bespoke and handmade items across an array of markets and industries, so you can look to meet this by developing your own products and selling these directly to consumers online.
This is a slightly more immersive endeavour, of course, and one that will require you to commit much of your time and effort during the production process.
You'll also have to calculate costs and price your products effectively, in a way that makes them appealing to customers and guarantees a desired level of profit.
