now I am living in seoul korea and it's my first time to goaborad, ofcourse I am not korean, I came here just for working. I've been always want to traveling around world since a long time ago, but it will take too much money I know, I appreciate those people who can just traveling around world by bycicle or others vehicles, and sleep out side door with tent, but I have not enough brave to do that, maybe because I am female, did you ever traveling around world? how did you make it? could you tell me how can I use least money to traveling around world?

Hmm.. well, you can do what my sister does.. become an air stewardess.. You travel, you earn loads of money and also you have a hotel to stay in.. :)

My husband and I travelled around in Latvia and Lithuania last summer, we didn't have much money, so we chose to travel by bus instead of flying and we also chose to stay at hostels instead of hotels. Travelling by bus for more than 30 hours wasn't very comfortable, but we saved a lot of money that way. At the hostels we chose the rooms without bathrooms. Sometimes we had to share one bathroom with 20 people or more, and we had to wait in line if we wanted to take a shower etc, but we didn't spend much money on the rooms. If we had chosen to live in a dorm it would have been even cheaper. I think that you can travel around without spending a lot of money as long as you are willing to compromise and live without luxury Try to find a cheap form of tranportation like busses or budget airlines. Stay at a dorm at a hostel or rent a private room or use couch surfing.

I'd like to enter the boder by landway, cause it's the better way to see a real world I think, there is no luxury word in my dictionary so far^^

I managed to travel around the world when I was 20 years old. My trip lasted just over one year and I saw some amazing places. I went to California, Hawaii, Fiji, Australia, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. I let out my cottage so I had a monthly income. I traveled on two different airlines. I had a working holiday visa for Australia. I stayed at backpacker hostels and did some camping. I think you have done well to work in South Korea. Maybe you could get a cheap flight to the Philippines. You might be able to travel by ferry to Indonesia. Then you could fly across to Australia. That would be a great adventure for you. If you wish to travel by bike then I suggest you visit the Netherlands and take a tent. Good luck with all the traveling that you will choose to do.

Check with the airlines for around the world airline tickets. They allow you a certain amount of time in each region. Stay in hostels or rent a room in a home with a family. Typically, those arrangements also include meals. Get a job with a cruise line. The accomodations are below the passenger cabins. Everything on those deck levels mirrors what is above board. They have their own buffets etc. That way you can not only see the world, you can earn money while you are doing it. Those are a few things that popped into my mind immediately.

I've already thought of that you mentioned above except for cruise line, but I think that is maybe a little difficult for me^^

There's a saying that goes "If there's a will, there's a way!". And you know what life can be really ironic. Some people never expected to have such privilege but they had. Like, travel is one of the benefits of their job. Or when you participate in missionary works, who knows, your congregation will send you to p[laces youve never been?

I've traveled the whole world, have seen a lot of things, meet different kind's of people, animals and everything. All that, I've done using only the computer and the internet.
