I did this for half a decade, 2011-2016.
I lived in Canada, Mexico, Panama, Netherlands, Spain & Portugal. I also made many other trips to visit places in the Americas & Europe.
For countries other than Mexico & Panama I always obeyed visa rules. No more than 90 days in Canada at a time, no more than 90 days at a time in the Schengen area (mainland Europe). Panama and Mexico have visa laws but they either didn't care or don't enforce them. I never applied for work visas and always maintained that I was on vacation.
For taxes I used what is called the Foreign Income Tax Credit. This allows a credit or deduction on up to $100k of income earned abroad.
Two things were much more difficult when I started compared to when I finished my adventure: Cell phones and renting places to live. Starting out I would purchase a local prepaid SIM card and pop it in my iPhone and it would usually work. Once it came out, I upgraded to Google Fi cellphone service and it is exceptionally good for perpetual travelling. Free calls and texts anywhere in the world. Renting apartments when I started out meant dealing with tourist-oriented property managers, walking around town looking for places, or blind luck. Then Airbnb and Homeaway became popular and made renting a place much easier. When I started out being a digital nomad was a new idea, but now it's becoming more and more mainstream.
On a personal note it was the best experience of my life. Before doing this I was a shy, anxious person. I read the book The 4-Hour Work Week, by Tim Ferris and it set my mind off on this goal of becoming a digital nomad. I am not a trust fund baby, I went to a public University and took out a mountain of loans to do so. I would say any single person could do this lifestyle. If you have a family you're going to need your family to be as crazy about the idea as you are. After having to make my way in foreign lands mostly alone, I feel like I could do anything. I'm currently settling down and starting a family of my own. I hope to get back on the road with my family once we are ready!
If you have any questions let me know!
This episode and Equestria Games fit into the category of bad episodes with fantastic lessons.
Equestria Games was based around "forgive yourself," which is one of most difficult things to learn and apply. However, that episode has since been eclipsed by Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? as most effective way that moral has been taught in MLP.
Applejack's Day Off's lesson was about productivity. Pretty much every business book ever, from The Four Hour Workweek to Getting Things Done, is about doing things faster.
These are critical, crucial skills in the modern day and can help people get jobs. But the way the lesson was packaged in this episode was frankly pretty boring. Although a realistic apple harvesting productivity workflow with spreadsheets and cost-benefit-analysis charts could have also been pretty boring.
All in all, they did an okay job for the moral they were trying to teach.
I'd recommend this book. I put it off for the longest time because of the title (seemed gimmicky), but after the 800th person told me about it I finally went ahead and gave it a read. It opens a great perspective on life that you may one day find yourself, but there'll be no regret in peeking through that lens a little early.....best of luck internet friend :)
You should be more specific about what you're hoping to learn. There are thousands of resources out there in regards to entrepreneurship, marketing, website development & eCommerce. You could find pretty much anything you want if you phrase it correctly.

You can just keep going from there.
The basics of what you'll need, assuming you know nothing (which I doubt) would be this.
Everything else you just figure out along the way based on how you want to monetize your audience and quite honestly, no book is going to help you figure that out.
You'll learn a lot more just hanging out on Reddit and watching YouTube videos on the subject matter that's next on your checklist. Books are almost purely inspirational at this point and I think we can agree there are plenty of Podcasts that will help you find inspiration (and skill), such as The Top (Nathan Latka) or Mixergy
If you study hustlers you'll get all the information and inspiration you could ever hope for. Read or watch anything from Noah Kagan (AppSumo). No one does it better than him. Ryan Holiday (not an affiliate link) is another favorite of mine. There are also some older Tim Ferriss articles that really talk about how you approach certain businesses.
Like I said, man. It's all out there. You don't need to pay $1 for information, you just have to know what to look for and if you listen to a few podcasts or read a few beginner articles you'll figure out pretty quickly the steps you need to take next.

Some Books I Like (no affiliate links)
Hey thanks so much for the response. Sometimes I do wonder to myself 'am I crazy?' 'Should I be worried that I'm not stacking huge dollar signs?' 'Am I going to be able to have a family someday if i want one, or have I set myself up for failure?'
Real deal questions beg an answer all the time, but I keep going because at the end of the day, I love the work. It's fun and engaging, and I really feel alive with this lifestyle. So, the second part of your question, how can you just make that jump?
Well first, read The Four Hour Workweek , obviously
This book kicked everything off for me. Second, when your next lease ends, pack 2 suitcases and just go to Thailand on a one-way ticket. Think of it like Amazing Race, you'll either sink or swim (but I really bet you'll swim) there's just more opportunity out here than there is in the states, I can just feel it. You just have to make that first leap. I don't know how else to put it, you have to be what others would consider a little crazy...
What about the 4 Hour Work Week!
Personal Development for Smart People
This book was full of truth and reality on ever. single. page. PERIOD. It was a true lifechanger, and one of - if not THE - best overall personal development book I have ever read. You will not regret it. Trust me.
The 4-Hour Work-Week
This book is seriously cool for two reasons:
TL;DR: These two books will seriously, deeply change your life for the better. Paradigm shift style. They are worth every single penny and more.
Well, it just so happens that I have a list prepared to tweet out—figured I'd share here as well :)

I lol-ed, because so many people I know love that damn book.
You seemed interested in some replies to the idea of entrepreneurial pursuits. Tim Ferriss wrote https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Expanded-Updated-Cutting-Edge-ebook/dp/B002WE46UW which goes into a lot of detail for at least some start-up companies including how to outsource a lot of the work (without doing this you can easily get stuck working 80+ hours a week instead of your current 40 hours).
I do not plan to do anything like this, however I enjoyed reading the book and there was a lot of interesting information in it.
