Me too have got the same dream but until now i am just struggling. I have a plan for you, what i have followed but not succeeded maybe my bad luck, yo can apply for a student visa to UK and if you get that you will be able to visit all UK and europe also and there ou can work for 6 months while studying and can earn some handsome amount for a euorpe trip. Now rest is USA & Canada yo further apply after your studies and you will get a lot f knowledge about traveling and managing your money for travel expenditures in all this time period in UK. I have applied 3 times but didnt get a visa i pray this will work for you.

Yes you can, you can apply for your master's degree or you can apply again for graduations on the base of this that UK has much better education system and i want to have a degree from UK based university so my education worth more in practical fields.

hi there, I am curretly studying tourism and hospitality. i have great interest for travelling and experiencing the world differently and seeing the many faces of the world. yes i do agree that travelling cost alot of time and money. well one thing we can do is start saving up and start going for trips that are nearby first. The nearby trips would generally cost less due to shorter transportation. well as we start saving up more money we can go to more more countries slowly, and eventually i believe slowly but surely the world can be seen. best regards, alvingb

I realized my dream to travel around the world when I was 20 years old. I had just been made redundant and couldn't get another job due to the recession in my home country. I got a working holiday visa for Australia, bought my airline ticket around the world and let out my cottage. Therefore I got a monthly income and earned wages whilst in Australia. One way you could realize your dream might be to do a working holiday abroad or you could work overseas. I have met some Australians working in my home country. They have their location as a gateway for European adventures. London is a great place to acquire cheap airfares. I remember a ten day vacation I did from my base in the Netherlands when I was a student there on placement for four months. I have a friend that went to teach in the United Arab Emirates. She came home with a lot of money to go traveling with. Good luck.

I do have a similar dreams like you do..I've been saving to fund my traveling activities...I don't care if it takes a long period for it to accumulate coz patience will pay. And at the end of the day, I can smile and laugh, enjoying the moment that I've been waiting for with my partner.

I'm so gald to tell you i have the same beautiful dream as yours.I am in tha same situation as you too.Few days ago i was so confused by it. I racked my brain to think a way to come ture my dream .I get an answer that the only way it's to earn enough money.Yes, as you said it cost a lot of time and money, but we can set small goal at first , the nearby area we want to go.I think just save up money can't work. We must think some useful way to earn money.May be we can invest in fund , share,foreigh currency or house property .And another way it's to do busineee of our own.There are lots of way,the problem it's just we can't find a proper way which is suitable for us.Take it easy, i believe our dream will come ture one day.Please be confident in youself !Henry Fort ever said "Believe it or not, you are aways right".
