Off topic, but I found those photos to be very nice. Is it just an app and an iPhone? I would love to be able to take photos like those. Are there any blogs or anything which have guides on this sort of photography?
Author here. Thank you! The iPhone 5s is quite superior when it comes to photography and the rest of it I do through VSCO CAM ( http://vsco.co/vscocam ).
According to the author, they were taken using an iphone 5s and edited with vsco. It's a great app that gives this analog feel. You can check their site: http://vsco.co/vscocam.
From the manly beach and the airbus shot, it could be an iphone or similar, yes. The low light and mixed exposure shots give it away. I agree though, it looks lovely, especially the night market and the London shot - very nice light.
How to take photos like this? Well, I'm no expert, but I would say the key to all good photography is framing, lighting, and throwing away 99.9% of the hundreds of photos you take.

What do people usually do for income for this kind of lifestyle? How much income is typical?
Excuse me if this is obvious, but I've been doing the whole 9-5 corporate thing for a while and I really have no idea.

I've been a (U.S. based) nomad for the last 2 years. I do web development for a company (I'm not freelance) and work a standard 8-4 day. They don't care where I am online from just that I am online and available.
I make less than I would if i lived in a bigger American city, but not less than a normal remote dev.

A lot of people doing this are supported by lifestyle businesses like blogs, ebook publishing, affiliate marketing, etc. Income varies significantly, from just a few $10Ks to well into six figures, depending on how successful they are.
I just ended reading Tim Ferriss' 4HWW, and now your amazing experience. MUST try. Wonderful photos too.
