Gah im still really young but I have no money........Im kinda sick of seeing this country. Has anyone found a way to travel out of it and just roam like a vagabond? How would I make money when I got there. Hmmm

You know, funny thing. 10 minutes ago i found this book "Vagabonding an uncommon guide to the art of long-term world travel" by Rolf Potts. I was waiting on the computer here at the Daytona Beach library and came across this just before i read this post. Weird. Ive only browsed thru it but it looks kinda good.

you put down 250 deposit, fill out the internet form, get a brief, 3-minute phone interview in which you simply just tell them you're jewish (no confirmation required), and you are given a free trip to israel and back, from which you cn access egypt, jordan, and, if you can manage to get working passage on a ship, other countries.
yes... it really does works

I Always figured that If you went far enough south on this continent, things would get chill enough that you could get jobs on ships...
So, maybe learning spanish is a good first step...

Get a roundtrip standby plane ticket(means you can get to wherever leave after a week or after 6 months)book it a few months in advance. If you get to a non english speaking country kick it in one of their major citys till you learn the language, youll find lots of english speaking tourists. Make money the same way you make it here, spare change, open guitar case is a universal language for gimme money.

Busking in Europe is said to be pretty good and easy. That said, the Western side is a pricey place to be.

Also, if you're in Asia, try finding opportunities to act in movies. I met a Russian who earned $80/day in Thailand, for playing the part of an American soldier in a movie about the Vietnam war. They love the white skin in those parts, so if you got it, use it!
