I received a lot of comments on my first post and I want to thank the readers of Lifehacker for this. I see that you are interested in this topic, and I will continue it with this post, in which I will tell you a little about how I myself came to traveling.
Write in the comments, what are you an expert in? What experience do you have? What are you, maybe, already getting paid for? I will respond to your comments and give advice depending on the situation.

I am currently in London. Yesterday I was in Moscow, arrived, and flew here specifically to participate in an exciting training event.
Now let's talk about how I came to life on a journey. I understand from your comments that many of you are sitting in offices and you don't like it. And this is great, because it is the growing discontent that eventually pushes people to make serious changes in their lives. I was also sitting in the office, I was completely immersed in projects, I patiently developed my business day after day, just not my own. Once I calculated that I had earned $4 million in 4 years, but not for myself. At that moment, I had a feeling that I needed to do something of my own. I couldn't sleep, I was so consumed by this thought.
I started reading a lot of blogs and watching a lot of videos about how people live on a journey. I dreamed that someday I would live like this too. However, dreams of constant adventures appeared to me in my childhood, at the time when I was reading Jules Verne. But if it hadn't been for two events, I would probably have gone to the office every day and stood in traffic jams on my credit Mazda.
The first event was that I came across a book by Timothy Ferris, I began to read it greedily, literally looking for bits and pieces and absorbing the experience from it. I clearly realized that with all my heart I want to live on a journey, to experiment on myself, to write about it.
And then, oddly enough, by the way, there was a crisis. They cut almost half of the company where I worked. The general manager called me, said, "Listen, let's fire someone else?", I asked to be fired. By that time I already had a blog, I started putting all these experiments. Ie, I quit in parallel with the fact that I was already running my own business. I didn't go anywhere at all. Before I was fired, I had already worked a lot with the Internet, laid out everything on the shelves, sorted out every little thing related to traveling.
Now we are trying to create a community of people who want to travel and earn a living with their brains. I would love to do something with my hands, but, alas, I grow it somehow incorrectly, so I work with my head, it turns out better this way.
If you work with your head, if you are an expert in something, a specialist, then start slowly trying the methods that I offer you. It's better not to even try, but to do it right away, implement, receive, travel, get rich...
