Khanstein David Nakamura Post Count: 15 Msg: #1 764 days ago, November 1st 2007 | Hi, nice to meet you. | While I was searching various quality travel photoes, I just happened to find this impressive site about one month ago. Although this site is great, there is one critical problem. "There are no photoes I could upload." You know traveling, especially to rich countries, is way too expensive. So I need clever tips&tricks on how to travel without money. Hopefully traveling to all over the world without money throughout the whole year. Well, at the moment I have nothing to lose any more. (family, friend, position and money) So any excessive approach would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There are plenty of great experiences I have read about doing this. Try couchsurfing and equivalents (Hospitality Club) to find cheap/free accomodation... Make friends and try to bum of them... some locals will be helpful... working visas... find out which countries have skill shortages.. but other than that you will need some money....

At 1st glance it sounds great because I'd rather be a person of nature than artificial though more detailed research is needed later. It wasn't expected that this silly question(travelling w/o money) sheds light on a new possibility. Thanks again.

Go out with your camera and write about it... I think you'll be surprised by what lies just around the corner. |  Marcoelitaliano Marco Daprile Post Count: 100 Msg: #5 760 days ago, November 4th 2007 | David, impossible is nothing and I know a guy called Matteo who actually did a whole round the world trip without money. He just kept something like 200 dollars or so as in some countries you need to show you do have some but he didn't actually use them. The only money he actually spent was for visa purchases which he had got before leaving Italy. He lived on the pocket money earned with occasional jobs picked up along the way and relied on free lifts (including on ships) for moving. That said, you need to be the hell of good in bring random people to voluntarily -constantly- help you out. With no need to go that extreme, you could travel on a modest budget, say 300-400 dollars per month and occasionally work and save up for the "bad" times. | Marco Khanstein David Nakamura Post Count: 15 Msg: #6 760 days ago, November 5th 2007 | @Ali | I've been thinking the same thing. "Could my local photoes do the job?" It may be fun to adapt familiar scenes as if it was the 1st visit. @Marco It sounds like a good story. But I want to travel like our ancient greatest explorer, such as Genghis Khan, did in the past across the Eurasia!  betweeneverybody Emily van Oosterom Post Count: 19 Msg: #7 759 days ago, November 6th 2007 | walk it! | some of the most exciting and inspiring stories I've read are about people who walk their way around the world. take a wee tent and a good pair of boots and set out. i have aspirations in that region myself... one day... Khanstein David Nakamura Post Count: 15 Msg: #8 759 days ago, November 6th 2007 | @b.e. | Yes, walking is good. We can feel more than just taking a bus or taxi.

Although not as brave as him, I do share his vision and joined the community in a blink. He's hoping to start his pilgrimage at the end of January 2008. You never know, you might come across him during your travels, and you could then share some tips... All the best in your journeys Maria x [Edited: 11:17 - Mark and Marias Great Adventure ]  Mell Mell Post Count: 14154 Msg: #10 754 days ago, November 10th 2007 | Looks like most of my ideas have already been suggested. | Did any mention taking your tent and asking farmers if u can sleep in their fields. Mel  Mikey M Mike Meggiato Post Count: 325 Msg: #11 754 days ago, November 11th 2007 | Just on the point Mell mentioned, i know of people who have asked to pitch a tent in someones garden, perhaps you offer some weeding etc or to paint a garden fence and in return a free pitch and the possibility of making new friends:) | Thx Mike;) RVCarole Carole Schneider Post Count: 4 Msg: #12 745 days ago, November 20th 2007 | You might check out www.vaughanvillage.com. They look for native English speakers (no Spanish allowed) to spend a week with their Spanish clients, executives wishing to improve their English skills. You have to get yourself to Madrid and pay for your own first and last night hotel, but everything else is provided. | Carole Khanstein David Nakamura Post Count: 15 Msg: #13 740 days ago, November 25th 2007 | Thank you for all these suggestions. | These days I've been re-thinking why I want to travel w/o money at all. It turned out that what I really wished was not travel but migration to frontiers, which no longer existed in this world! elly 1985 sima elena Post Count: 3 Msg: #14 734 days ago, November 30th 2007 | I MUST TRAVEL TO KARACHI...THERE IS THE BOY OF MY DREAMS..I M ON LOVE..I M HERE IN ROMANIA...HE IS THERE IN KARACHI...FOR FREEE.BECAUSE I HAVEN T MONEY..I M STUDENT...I LOVE U FAISAL..PLEASE HELP ME.... | Mikey M Mike Meggiato Post Count: 325 Msg: #15 734 days ago, December 1st 2007 | Elly the only way you could get to Karachi for free is if you hitch hiked all the way and to be honest i wouldn't see that as a possibility, i think the are ways you could do it cheaply but you would need some amount of cash, certainly you could use sites such as couchsurfing and hospitality club to get accommodation enroute, but you would need to get a rail pass or use coach's or something. | Sorry to say but you would need some money, can he not come to you?
