How a man who moved to Taiwan to pay off his student loans turned traveling the world into a career
He was looking for a way to pay off his student loans.
Gibson, now 36, graduated with about $10,000 in student loan debt, and had been working planting trees to try and earn some extra cash when he met a man whose girlfriend was in Taiwan, teaching English to pay off about $70,000 of her own student loans. His new friend quickly joined her.
"At the end of the season I emailed him and he said, 'Come on over,'" Gibson remembers.
Over ten years later, Gibson is still on the move, working as an adventure travel writer and photographer.
