Lifestyle of the Week: Long-term travel, Family Style

Meet Caz and Craig, authors the Y Travel Blog (click here to check out their blog!)

This family has been long term traveling since before their kids were born, and their travel blog seeks to inspire and inform others about traveling long-term, even and especially with kids. Their story is in some ways very typical: Caz and Craig met after college, married, and traveled the world. The story deviates after this, because instead of going home and living a "regular" life, they went back to traveling and have been doing so for 16 years. They are currently road tripping across Australia and make money through a combination of free-lance, travel blogging, social media, and tourism partners.

Why I like them:
This couple wanted to travel and made it work. The jobs that they have are not necessarily the jobs that I would want, but they wanted the travel enough to stick with the job.

Honorable Mention Jobs

The following is a list of jobs that people were helpful enough to help me find but that I was unable to find more information on. However, the jobs themselves sounded so intriguing that I simply had to list them somewhere. You are not obligated to believe the existence of these jobs.

Foreword

To my Readers:

This blog is meant to give a brief summary of particular jobs and lifestyles that I have come across in my search for my personal dream life. I know that there are many interesting jobs and lifestyles out there, but these are the ones who spoke to me. I hope to properly publish this book when I find my dream life and inspire future generations to search for their dream life as well. For now, happy reading!

Job of the Week: Park Seo-yeon, Mok-Bang Star "The Diva"

Park Seo-yeon is a young South Korean female living in Seoul and makes money through a broadcast eating show (mok-bang). A broadcast eating show is exactly what it sounds like: you stream yourself live while eating and it is broadcast to other people on the internet. There is an entire niche market of mok-bang netizens and mok-bang stars who earn money through advertising and donations. Park can finishes off a table of food every night and makes almost 6 figures a year doing it. In some ways, this job is also a lifestyle; during the day, she works off all the food that she ate, and at night, she eats more food. Park originally worked in consulting but quit her job after she became popular through mok-bang.

As of 2014, Park Seo-yeon has been live streaming her eating shows for three years and has given no indication that she will stop any time soon.

Why I like her: Um, what is not to like about a girl who gets to eat delicious food every night and get paid to do it? I'm not seeing the problem. If I could just earn enough money to break even by eating delicious food every night, I would do that. She found a way to make money by being herself. She has fun doing it. End of story.
