EnglishWhat Is Goats On The Road and Who Runs It?
Updated
Goats On The Road is a travel-and-remote-work blog run by Nick and Dariece, a Canadian couple who left Canada in 2008 to find ways to travel and live abroad indefinitely. The site's stated purpose is to help "creative adventurers earn money online doing what they love," so they can set their own hours, be their own boss, and make a living while traveling. It is aimed at readers who want to fund long-term travel through remote work, freelancing, blogging, or teaching English, and who also want practical destination and accommodation guides.
Who is behind the site
The "Who Are The Goats?" section identifies Nick and Dariece as the couple behind the blog. According to their own account, they left Canada in 2008, tried "countless travel jobs," and now share those experiences and what they describe as their best travel-supporting methods. The site positions this experience as the basis for its advice: the recommendations come from methods the authors say they have personally used, rather than from general research alone.
What the site covers
The homepage organizes content around a small set of reader goals:
| Goal | What the site offers |
|---|---|
| Plan a trip | Country and city destination guides across Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and the Americas |
| Be a digital nomad | City guides for digital nomad destinations, plus tools and advice for starting out |
| Work remotely | Job ideas and guidance for working from home, an RV, a cafe, or the beach |
| House sit | Guidance on caring for someone's home and pets in exchange for free accommodation |
| Teach English | TEFL certification advice and ways to teach English online or abroad |
| Start blogging | Advice on starting a blog on any topic and turning it into a business |
Recent posts shown on the homepage illustrate the mix: a guide to the best boroughs in New York City for first-time visitors, things to do in Barcelona after the main sights, and top things to do on Australia's Gold Coast. So the site is not only about earning online — it also publishes conventional destination and stay guides.
Resources for bloggers
The blogging side is the most developed part of the site. Two paid or gated resources are linked from the homepage:
- 101 Remote Jobs Ebook — offered through the site's subscribe page.
- WordPress Beginner Blogger Course — sold through a dedicated purchase page.
There is also a free offer: a video course with four modules on starting and growing a blog, plus a 200-page blogging ebook, described as free for anyone who starts a blog using the site's referral button (stated value: $120). Readers who already have a blog are pointed to separate traffic-growth material. If you are considering the free course, note that the condition is starting your blog through their link, which typically means signing up for hosting through an affiliate link — a common arrangement on blogging-education sites, and worth understanding before you click.
Is it worth following?
The site suits you if you want one source that combines earning-online methods with destination guides, written by people who say they have lived this way since 2008. It is less suited to readers looking for hard data on income claims or for coverage of career paths outside remote work, blogging, house sitting, and English teaching. A practical approach: start with the free blogging course and ebook if you plan to build a blog, use the destination guides when planning a specific trip, and treat the paid ebook and course as optional add-ons you can evaluate after the free material.
