I think it would be amazing to travel the world,to see all different parts of the earth. I can't imagine living my whole life having not seen allot of the earth. HOW do you actually travel the world, can it be done for cheap? I think it would be cool to live in a jungle for a while, eating fruit and hunting. I'd need to learn survival skills obviously.

You could travel for almost free, aside from food expenses, by hitchhiking and knowing a lot people in a lot of places.

it's not easy though and you have to give up on lots of things!

Well you cant really hitch hike in Europe. You cant hitch in Asia too. But asia s cheap so thats not a problem.
VISAs are shit tho. You need visas to travel. Better storm the check points. Just how berocratic the world has become? Few hanudreds of years ago there was no borders no passport no visas no checkpoints.

Well if you're starting out with little to no money you need to find a way to get income while traveling. Do you play an instrument? Have a unique talent? Be a street performer. Can you make stuff? Maybe you can even volunteer your labor to a business for a day while in a city and ask to be paid for one day (however long). If you are in a much smaller village money won't be of much importance anyways. Make friends, or establish contacts on the internet before you leave.
Public transportation can be fairly cheap. As for a place to stay, you can find a hostel (a shelter for travellers) and you might have to share a room and bathroom with others, but if you're travelling it might help you to make friends (who also can give you tips on where to go next, or you can travel with them as well). When you are travelling and have limited resources, it helps to be a people person. Make friends, meet people.
I spent a summer hitch hiking across the country w/an ex boyfriend. We barely had any money yet always found a place to crash, food to eat, and fun drugs to do, just by meeting people and telling them our story and what we were doing. You'd be suprised how many people love hearing it and wish they could do it themselves. Good luck, and have a travel buddy to share the experience with. I guarantee you it will be amazing.
I should also add that I would make jewelry to sell, and my ex played guitar for cash as well. We didn't rely SOLELY on others.
*Also, if you're in a major city -- you can always spend a night in the airport. If you are desperate...so you're not out on the street at least.

Discount airline that'll take you all over Europe for mad cheap. They don't use the biggest airports, and you have to make your reservation well in advance to get the good rates though.
