Ever wondered how to travel more without going broke? That’s been my mission — to explore the world while actually growing my wealth. I’ve been testing different strategies, side hustles, and investment tools, and in this post, I’m sharing 5 real methods I personally use to roam and compound.
1. Investing in Dividend ETFs
Dividend ETFs like SCHD and VYM are my go-to for building passive income.
These funds pay out dividends (like little paychecks) regularly, which I either reinvest or use for trip expenses.
📌 My pick: SCHD — low fees, high yield, and reliable performance.
💡 Tip: Use Webull or M1 Finance to get started and claim your free stock bonus.
2. Selling Print-on-Demand Products
I run a small Etsy shop selling custom travel and motivational gear using Printify. It’s 100% print-on-demand — no inventory, no shipping headaches.
📌 Tool I use:
– Printify for production
– Canva Pro for design
– EverBee for keyword research

3. Traveling on Credit Card Points
I fund flights and hotels using credit card rewards. The Chase Sapphire Preferred is my favorite — it gives big welcome bonuses, and points are super flexible.
🧳 Last trip to Denver? Paid with points.
📌 Recommended cards:
– Chase Sapphire Preferred
– Amex Gold
4. Blogging & Affiliate Income
This blog — Roam & Compound — is my newest income stream. I write about what I’m learning, include helpful tools, and earn commissions if readers use my links.

Starting a blog? I use Hostinger — fast, affordable, and beginner-friendly.
5. Options Trading (The Wheel Strategy)
I generate cash flow by selling put and call options on stocks I already own or want to own. It’s like collecting rent on stocks.
📌 Example: I sell a put on $NVDA, collect premium, and repeat.
💡 Caution: Only do this after you study the risk/reward.
