jonathanmaes564 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Hello everyone!I’m Jonathan Maes, 15 years old and I love traveling! - I wanted to share my Fiverr story. I’ve been active on Fiverr for 1 year now and I have earned $3000. It’s awesome! It allowed me to travel all over Europe with my long-distance relationship girlfriend: Last year, I’ve been several times to Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Venice and Corsica!My girlfriend lives in Italy. As I obviously have to pay my flights by my own, I need Fiverr to pay my flight-, train- and bustickets. I’d like to thank all my buyers and Fiverr itself of course. I hope I can continue my business for a long long time.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eoinfinnegan Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Brilliant! This is the kind of “success story” that I love to hear.The experience of working on Fiverr will be really good for you in your future work, whatever that is, and the experience of travel will be beneficial for other reasons.Just don’t go entering the Fiverr “Win a Wedding” competition just yet!Where are you planning to go next?

writer99025 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I wish I could share your story with kids in India and their parents. Kids of your age in India…they spend their time studying differential calculus and analytical geometry. You are very fortunate, make the most of it.

jonathanmaes564 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Well, me too! I’m having exams (about analytical geometry) at this moment. As long as I can combinate school, Fiverr and friends/family, I’m continuing. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanmaes564 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Thanks 😊 Well, I guess it will help later + it definitely helps now. I’m currently thinking about being a French journalist, as I’m studying in Paris in 2 years.Fiverr also helped for my English, as (almost) every client is an english-speaking one. I’m happy to be able to communicate in French, Dutch and German as well if needed.In 3 weeks, I’m going to Florence, Italy. A visit to Cinque Terre may be planned too…Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Oh that’s great. The different languages will be very useful for journalism! Do you do any writing at the moment? I’d definitely suggest you start blogging - subject doesn’t matter but something(s) that you are interested in, even just once per month. In 2-3 years time you will be very glad that you did. Also consider approaching youth organizations and offer to write for them. I used to work with one and getting teen writers was next to impossible so they might welcome you. A great way to build up a portfolio for the future!Are you learning any Italian from your GF?English, French, German and Dutch - that is an excellent repertoire already though.Florence is great and Cinque Terre is on my wishlist for sometime soon too.

jonathanmaes564 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I’m learning Italian, yes!The plan was to start a writing gig in a few weeks max. I’ll look at the posibilities what I could offer etc… I’ve been a blogger for a film website, have done many many interviews with famous Belgian actors, producers, etc… Have even had an own blog for 2 years, which was pretty sucessfull in Dutch-speaking Europe 😉Thanks for the tips about those youth organisations! Will definitely do something with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Can you give me the blog link?With all the languages you could always think about joining the Secret Service although you would have to change the 564 to 007 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanmaes564 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Haha 😉 I’ve been writing for Supercalifragilisyic.be - My own blog has been deleted when I stopped with it, 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You should write and tell others how to do all that on only $3000.I’ve been active on Fiverr for 1 year now and I have earned $3000. It’s awesome! It allowed me to travel all over Europe with my long-distance relationship girlfriend: Last year, I’ve been several times to Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Rome, Venice and Corsica!It would cost me about $3000 a week at least.

fitrigwrites4u Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Congrats, young man! Your parents must be so proud of you! I love hearing your success story 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanmaes564 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 I have to admit that all the money went to the transport. As flights and train tickets only cost $30-$40, there’s much of those $3000 left. Accomodation was my own house or my gf’s house. Anyway, when I’m 18, I’ll book airbnb’s (cheap!) or use Coachsurfing (Free!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathanmaes564 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 I already guessed so yes 😉 - Anyway @estherodion, if you want some tips about travelling Europe and you’d be in Belgium some day, text me again 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
