I can't help but laugh at your perception of Elizabeth Gilbert doing a 'no work thing'. She was traveling, yes. And having the time of her life, for sure. But she was also writing the book as she was doing so.

People also look at our life and think that we don't work as we travel full-time. But they forget that the effort we put into sharing our journey is also work. I suppose each person has their own perception of 'work' and what that entails.

I have never worked so hard and for so many hours to make the small amount of money that I do. But it is work that I am passionate about and I don't regret any of it for one minute.

Great post and interesting insights.
