Staying over in a different country would be ideal.

Australia would be pretty cool. My plan was to go to the states and just do WWOOfing I guess. Also couchsurfing seems to be pretty popular.

I'm worried about the language barrier. Stuff can get ugly if your stuck in the middle of no where, with no money and no concept of Indian.

What do you want to do? Because with that kinda money you can do quite a bit.

Do you know about the A.S.S in london? The little squatting advice place in Whitechapel? If you head down there they will be able to give you advice/information and you may be able to find people looking for other people to squat with ect...???? just an idea.

Whats there to do in cornwall ?

Save the money for sure. In EUrope, you can live for free really easily, and you wont learn how with that kind of money laying around. It's good to have a little emergency stash though, in the case that something goes wrong. Find yourself a decent squat in London until you turn 18, try to learn the ropes of free living there. Once your 18, if London isn't your thing, get out on the road and find something nice. DONT SPEND THAT MONEY!! Seriously, unless you absolutely need to, or are totally sure on what you want, you can really quickly piddle away 1200p on beers, food, and useless crap.
If you really want to spend it, figure out on what. A vehicle is a decent option, you can live in it, and haul scrap or other things with it, to make your money back. 100 cases of beer is a better option. You can make a hell of a lot of friends. For a few days. Until your beer runs out.

Go and stay with a friend if you can or a hostel, winters coming....Put your money in a high interest account and use as little as possible of it. Work through winter, factories usually pay the best money, put that into your account and save it up until winters over and see what your options are then. If you didn't decide to travel there are lots of options for because of your age, your local authority would have to house you as priority, although you get one choice and if you refuse it they aren't legally obliged to find you anywhere else, so think carefully before you use that option. Good luck.

Sit. look at stuff. smell stuff. repeat. oh and reading. there is always reading

 

[Sauv89]

Come to the u.s and start up, I would recommend the lower warmer states, try San Diego

 

[wokofshame]

NZ or Australia I'd agree with as it's just so much easier to travel/camp in warm weather. All the travelling kids here in the state are at their Mom's house until April anyway.
I just tried using couchsurfing for the 1st time, w/ only on 1 rep on my profile, yeah, and it was useless. Has worked for friends though.

Oh wait! When you turn 18 You can get to israel for 250$ refundable deposit www.birthrightisrael.com
There will 5-minute phone interview where they ask you 3 questions: Are you jewish? Whic parent is jewish? One or both parents? And that's how I spent a summer in Israel. No verification required

 

[London Ben]
