1. Start a travel blog
Starting a travel blog is the most obvious and easiest ways to earn money while travelling. Starting a blog is really easy, but creating content for your blog is not. However, as you will be travelling a lot while you are working on your blog, content will be the least of your concern. Post travel guides to the places you have been to, write about the must-see destinations or the best things to do in a place or write about hidden places or lesser known restaurants of a destination.
2. Start a YouTube channel
Staring at a YouTube channel is another thing which you can do while you are travelling quite easily. All you need a laptop, a camera and an internet connection for this. Create travel videos, vlogs, food-related videos or anything else and upload them through your YouTube channel. As you will be travelling to many new places while doing this, finding content for your channel should be very easy.
3. Work as a freelance travel photographer
If you are passionate about photography, then the best way to turn your passion into your job is by working as a freelance photographer. There are many online sites looking for new photos every day. As you will be travelling to new places every now and then, capture some beautiful images of the places you are visiting. You can sell these photos on one of these websites for a fee. Also, you can build up your Instagram profile using these photos and use them as a portfolio to get freelance photography jobs for newspapers, magazines or websites.

You can then either take up jobs posted by clients on the freelance websites, or you can even approach small businesses at the places you are travelling to, to get business from the less tech-savvy clients too.
6. Work as an app developer
