I know it is not the most original idea, but while travelling around the past month, I have started to think it would be nice to run an internet cafe.
I always thought that Internet cafes would eventually become redundant, but they have actually become more important for travellers. Most places I visited were often full.
Some of the advantages I can think of in running an internet cafe:
- I could work on my sites full-time while running the cafe
- Get to meet people travelling around
- Live in some beautiful tourist spot
- Cheaper living costs if I don’t live in a major city
- Fairly cheap set up costs
- Build a business which I could potentially sell at a later time
- Offer lots of other services such as travel info, network games, telephone cards, photo printing and so on.
Disadvantages:
- Long hours
- Potentially a competitive market
- Tweet

you could hire college kids to run it for you. thats what i saw in europe this past summer.
That is what I was thinking. Or hiring travellers on a Working holiday visa.
