How many of you earn while doing something you always dreamt of? Want to travel the world? Want to earn a lot of money? How about doing it both together?
Sounds dazzling, right? The thought of this compels someone to imagine standing in front of the Louvre Museum of Paris or someone to stare at the colourful baroque buildings of Prague.
Meet Aileen, her journey is as outrageous and inspiring as you can dream of.

Aileen Adalid, hailing from the Philippines prefers being considered as a “citizen of the world”, earns ₹50 lacs a month. Shocked? Well, so are we!
Three years ago, she handed in her resignation at a monotonous corporate job at Deutsche Bank and started travelling.
A Digital Nomad:
Spent her initial days doing freelancing jobs, Aileen did all sorts of tech jobs under the sun. Website designing, graphic designing, SEO management, online marketing or whatever else she could do to self-finance her trips.

She has visited 25 countries so far including France, Germany, Belgium, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Norway, etc. Her major reason behind excessive travel is not just the passion, but a motive to prove to the world that traveling is not reserved just for the rich.
Goals:
Who doesn’t have goals in life? But the goals she has set for herself isn’t something this world gets to hear often.
