Jo you are #goals! I’ve just joined Substack and started my journey as an empty nester traveler using my experiences as a lens for how to plan better trips. I’m writing for the joy of it right now and am open to the idea of it turning into a revenue stream as I grow. Curious whether you also work with brands to secure income streams and discounts writing genuinely about your experiences? Or is that not a part of your model?
Hey Tricia, welcome to Substack! ❤️ I have worked with brands many times over the years regards building online businesses & minimally in the travel space. But as I grow my Adventure List that will definitely be part of my model moving forward. Like you say, as long as it’s a genuine experience I think it’s a great way to monetise travel writing & create great relationships around the world! 😁❤️
Nice and clear and I like the idea you can start a business that is in the non-famous model then become famous later. That is now true of indie publishing that later gets picked up as trad. Publishing. The first time I was aware of that happening was 50 Shades of Grey. Before that it was positioned as very hard to cross over.
Great article. I am interested in your game that you sell on Amazon. How do you do that while being a nomad? Is it something that is printed on demand? Games are stored in a warehouse? I am currently trying to figure out my next steps in life (and I am 50).
Inspiring, Jo! Glad I found you on Substack! I started mine about a month ago so I could launch myself in a similar way when my daughter flies off after high school. I've got about a year and a half to build into something steady and know it's possible. Every time I read yours I'll be reminded of success. Thank you for being here!
I’m delighted to be along for the ride!

Great info Jo, as always! I right there with you--aging disgracefully! 😆
Yes Kat! 🥳😂
