I have the book it really is good but.....the money thing in it killed me. It says to settle down get a real job and save up for a few years.Doobie_D said: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 did it last summer
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!
