EnglishWhat Goats On The Road Covers for Earning Money While Traveling
Updated
Goats On The Road organizes its earning-while-traveling advice into four main paths: remote work, teaching English (with TEFL certification), house sitting for free accommodation, and blogging as an online business. The site is run by Nick and Dariece, a Canadian couple who left Canada in 2008 and now share the travel jobs and income methods they have personally tried. If you want a starting point for choosing among these paths, the site's own category structure is the clearest guide.
The four earning paths the site presents
The homepage groups its guidance under a "What do you want to do?" section, and each option links to a dedicated resource area:
| Path | What the site says it covers | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| Work remotely | Jobs that let you work "from anywhere: your home, an RV, a cafe, or the beach" | People with skills that transfer to location-independent work |
| Teach English | Get TEFL certified, then teach online or abroad | People who want a structured, credential-based route |
| House sit | Care for someone's home and pets in exchange for free accommodation | Travelers looking to cut accommodation costs rather than earn cash |
| Blogging | Start a blog on any topic and "turn it into a business" | People willing to build an audience over time |
Note the distinction: house sitting offsets expenses rather than generating income, while the other three are framed as ways to make money.
Remote work and the 101 Remote Jobs resource
The site's remote work section points to jobs that fund life on the road. It also offers a "101 Remote Jobs Ebook" through its subscribe page, which is the most concrete resource listed for this path. The homepage does not itemize the job categories, so treat the ebook as the entry point if remote employment is your focus.
Teaching English via TEFL
The teaching path is presented as a two-step route: get TEFL certified, then earn by teaching English online or in destinations abroad. The site frames this as one of the methods it has used to support travel, which makes it a reasonable option if you want a recognized qualification rather than an audience-dependent business.
House sitting for free accommodation
House sitting is described as taking care of someone's home and pets in exchange for free accommodation. This is a cost-reduction strategy, not an income stream — useful if your goal is stretching a travel budget rather than earning.
Blogging as a business
Blogging is the path the site develops most deeply, which fits since the site itself is a blog. It offers:
- Start a blog and grow a blog guidance sections
- A WordPress Beginner Blogger Course (a paid product, linked from the site)
- A free video course with four modules on starting and growing a blog, offered to anyone who starts a blog through the site's link, plus a 200-page blogging ebook described as a $120 total value
The free course is conditional: it is tied to signing up for blog hosting through the site's referral button. The site also states you can "start a blog in 10 minutes," and directs existing bloggers to a separate traffic-growth page.
How to choose among them
- Want cash income with a credential: teaching English with TEFL is the most defined route.
- Want cash income without building an audience: start with the remote jobs ebook.
- Want to lower costs fast: house sitting addresses accommodation directly.
- Willing to invest months building an asset: blogging, using the free course if you go through the site's hosting link, or the paid WordPress course if you prefer structured instruction.
The site's own framing — "earn money online doing what they love, so they can choose their own hours" — signals that all four paths assume some upfront effort before income or savings materialize. Beyond the destination guides and the resources above, the homepage does not publish pricing for the paid course or ebook, so check the linked pages for current terms.
