Being a digital nomad isn't easy.

One of the most common questions and challenges of traveling the world is, "How in the world can I afford it?"

Derek Baron, aka Wandering Earl,  has been traveling the world since 1999 and started with just $1500 in his pocket.  His original plan was to backpack around Southeast Asia for three months before returning home to begin a career.
