Hello!

I wanted to share my story, in the hopes of finding some support, ideas or just general advice! I'm Wim, 29 year old from Belgium, and I recently came back from a 20 month bicycle trip that took me halfway around the world, through Europe, Africa, Central and South America. You can find a summary of this trip here: Halway around the world by bicycle - Imgur . Before that, I was a Java programmer. This trip was by far my first adventure, but my biggest project so far.
Hooked by the adventure, I'm dreaming of completing the tour all the way around the world, while combining it with my two other passions: photography and programming. In an attempt to achieve this, over the last two months I have been building apps for mobile devices, thinking it's something I would be able to do independently from anywhere in the world, have a ton of fun doing it, and hopefully make enough out of it to keep on going.
My first app, "Kuub", a puzzle game, was released a few weeks ago. I wrote a short blog post for Corona (one of the bigger development tools) on how touring on the bike really boosted creativity, and what inspired me to build this app. How monotonous landscapes and the lack of technology (or civilization in general) ironically had me reach back to 'nerdy' stuff, hehe. You can read it here: Guest post: Finding your app-building creativity | Corona Labs

But the results so far? It's been a lot of fun, but adding all the costs I'm very far from making this whole thing feasible. Mostly, while I'm good at a lot of (more technical) things, I'm absolutely clueless on how to handle any marketing.

Any suggestions on how to make this whole project work? Do you know of people that have succeeded in combining work and travel? What should I improve?

Thanks!

Wim
