One of the best things that comes from freelance work is being able to work anywhere, anytime. This means you can still work and make money you need to pay your bills, but you aren’t stuck in one place. You can travel wherever your heart desires, like the 597 square miles of Oahu, an island in Hawaii. But as you’re traveling, it’s still important to make sure you’re making work a priority. So to help you continue your freelance work while traveling the world, here are a few tips for success.

First off, it’s important to always keep your finances in check. It can be difficult to get caught up in the world of freelance work where some months you might do really well while other months you might do poorly. It’s crucial to understand that not every month is going to be a good month. So when you’re taking a look at your yearly earnings, make sure you’re not basing your income off of your good months. In doing this, you can prepare for those months ahead you might not do so well. Additionally, it’s important to remember to set aside appropriate amounts of money for things like taxes and health care. While traveling, you can do a lot to save money. Look for small places to save a few bucks, like choosing less expensive lodging and walking when possible. Ensuring your finances are always a priority will help you make smart traveling decisions.

When you’re traveling, you may find yourself moving through different time zones. And while this may not be a big deal for you, it could be for your clients. Furthermore, you may find that your travel and work schedules change regularly, which can impact the “normal” hours you find yourself working. So you should always be honest with your clients and let them know that you do travel and that may impact your work hours. It’s important to be flexible — you may find yourself working at all hours of the night to finish a project or you may have conference calls before dawn because of time differences. Overall, you should be flexible and accommodating to ensure you keep up with business.

And lastly, it’s important to make sure you always have somewhere you can actually do work. An internet connection is usually the main thing freelance workers need and some free cartoons for content. And with the Gartner Group showing that 15% of paper documents are misplaced, you probably don’t want to try to do work not on your computer. So when you’re traveling, figure out how you’re going to manage work. Investing in a hot spot and some international outlet adapters can be an easy start to ensure you can always work on your computer. You also may want to invest in some noise canceling headphones, as you never know where you’re going to be working. Figuring out how to work in remote locations along with knowing where and when you work best can be a great way to ensure you’ll always stay on top of your work.

Being able to work and travel at the same time is an opportunity that not everyone gets. So keep these tips in mind and stay motivated so you can continue doing what you love.
