Hello,
I just stumbled onto this site today and I am VERY HAPPY! I have a question though for most of you. How do you really do it or how easily can you find work while traveling?
You see, I have been in the military for 7 years now and I don't really have that much money. I don't have any great skills nor a college education. I have dreamed, longed, prayed, wished, and everything else about just leaving and seeing the world. I know that you can hit hostels, camp, and find jobs sometimes but is there any real way to find work along the way?
I guess what I am trying to say is that I am poor. I can save up roughly $6000-$8000 USD in one year but that is it. I am 25 years old now and of course I am not getting any younger. When I seperate from the military I can get a job or go back to school. Either choice will make it to where I can't travel much. I would like to travel while I still have a strong body and as many other's have said on here; the world could end tomorrow. Could anyone offer some advice?
BTW, thank you all for this site and your posts! I have been daydreaming about traveling for years now and eveyone looks at me like I am crazy! Some scold me, some get angry (thinking that I am lying to them), others laugh it off, but no one really believes that I just want to leave. I am so happy that thier are others that are like minded out there!
