I Wanna Get Out!!!

Hey guys I am starting to get sick of my life. I partied all summer and did whatever I wanted and had a shit ton of fun but towards the end I had too much and I am paying for it now. My life kinda spun out of control and I was living by a river in a tent still partying it up cause nothing was gonna stop me. Summer is over and I'm living back at home bored out of my fucking mind. I wanna leave, I wanna see the fucking world and have real fulfilling experiences. My problem is I have no money and no experience living on my own. Any suggestions? Something that will maybe pay for housing or somewhere I can go and work and have housing? Like I.m basically down for anything as long as im not living on the streets cause that sucks and its getting cold now.

Try and get a job on a cruise ship.
The work and the pay is generally shit. And since you will be traveling what little you do make will probably get blown.
But it would be fun, and a good way to see different places. I wish I'd taken the opportunity to do it when I was younger.

with your lack of experience and funds the only realistic options for you are to find a job in some sort of industry that travels. Circus work Stage hand Roadie Cruise ships
or find a way to make money independently either through selling art work. or doing menial jobs and travel doing that.
It sounds like you are looking for easy answers though, and for what you want to do, there aren't any.

You can teach English in Cambodia without any prior experience or certificates for 1000-1200 USD/month. Alternatively you can get a ticket and do it for more money in more countries. Its a good way to live/work/travel overseas but won't suit a party lifestyle, more of a quiet, respectful traveler.

Ya we all wish we could travel the world. Sounds nice. My sisters been through most of Europe and sa. But she was going to school full time, working 3 jobs to be able to do such things. She has some scholarships but it was more her hard work and dedication to schooling that did it.
Unless you have rich parents good fucking luck with that. She had to start at 16 and constantly work to achieve such things. Now you got to work to afford a place traveling the world is not on that list just to get by. Good luck.

Welcome to life
We all wana see the world, do new stuff, be free, party as and when we wana, etc etc
And we all or most work full time to pay bills, and do what we can with the extra we earn.
Big money comes from lots of university education and the like, or a life of crime which comes with its own dangers lol!

My travel time with my fun money is going to Seattle. I got to spend the last 6 months in Montana working which was cool. But I didn't really get to do a lot of traveling or anything.
Work, pay bills, feed myself to work. I didn't really come out of the experience ahead beside all the shit I'm now trained to do. Heading back to Washington. Where it will be more of the same. But I did learn to spray paint art here so gonna set up a little shop and really start practicing. Which the guy that taught me makes 200+ an hour. We did a semi together. And I already know how to do most of his shit. And it's super fun.

I don't wanna see the world.. The world is scary.. 
There's enough stuff going on here to keep me busy, got family I get along with very well, like a friend or two to kick it with every now and then. What can I say, I'm a simple man, a simpleton if u will..
As to ur predicament op, might be a good idea to get a job for the time being while u think about what u really want to do.. Unless ure down for the spontaneous and unpredictable nature that is life, then just grab a back pack or something, fill it with a few crumbs, and just start walking.

We're giving our suggestions. Your work experience is a McDonald's. Shoulda got on that shit in school. My sister who has worked at a McDonald's while babysitting while doing anything.
I graduated in the top 5% I got offered to go to any country I wanted to through the international Bachelorette program. But I started smoking weed and threw it away. Looking back I fucked up hard. To smoke weed. Now you gotta work. I can remodel houses,make topographical maps, talk pretty girls out of there money serving, my list goes on and on. Should have stayed focused I wish I would have. Or joined the Navy. As I needed the discipline. But can't even do that anymore as I have duis

So you don't want to travel for free, but you want people to pay you to travel... yeah good luck with that mate. not saying it can't be done, but generally the opportunities for it are few and very VERY far between. your best bet on that front would be to start up a travel blog and hope it gets popular enough to sustain your travels from the ad revenue.
given your limited job experience, and if your not willing to take any of the other options listed, look into doing manual work on farms etc. there is almost always a demand for casual labor, they don't expect you to stick around long, and it can pay well enough to get you from city to city.

Some very high paid seasonal jobs in fishing industry, tho its brutal, planting trees in canada can make a lot, but any high paid tends to be you need uni, or, its just damned hard work so no one wants to do it or its so dangerous you get danger money hahahaha

I have a good friend who has been all over the world seasonally working as a Server. He's an older dude we still catch up from time to time. It's what I'd like to do but at the same time not really. I like having a home. I work to pay for my warm place to sleep at night.
