look into a WHV program.

im doing one in NZ in august after another trip to South America.

I travel with alot of recording/media equipment, the last two trips ive made some cash by recording and taking pics for guesthouses,hostels and travel co.s on the cheap and making recordings for local bands....my goal is to get to the level where i can do this full time, for the remainder of my 20's at least.

once you get over the initial airfare cost its pretty easy to find work here and there.

ESP IN seAISIA!!!!!

when i was in thailand i would always see signs that read *foreigner, dont leave thailand, stay and teach english* everywhere.

rich thai familys would pay really well for a native english speaker to just chill with their kids a few days of the week and converse in english with them. no cert required.

if i didnt have such a jones for southamerica and the NZ thats what i would be doing right now.......

^you sound like your really into travel, you should check out this forum. its one of the best ive found regarding all things related to globe trotting.

No, i don't know. I'm not in a rush.

Well, if you have at least a bit of cash to get somewhere, you should do what a guy I used to work with did. Basically, he'd travel somewhere, stay there for a few months, work, and travel on somewhere else.

He only travelled across Canada, but really, if you travel somewhere where living expenses are stupidly cheap, you could certainly afford to work for a bit to cover your expenses, and have enough money to have some fun for the rest of the time you stay before heading out again.

Okay then i retract my suggestion.

I would now like to suggest you become a street hooker. You're probably thinking "wtf.... how would that help me tavel?"

two words for you... "trucker stop"

When i was 12 and playing street hockey with my friends. Does that count?

[junglequeen]

I have no funding either so Im going to go work for a resort in the fall.

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

I would love to work abroad..teaching english. Im just not sure where to start..

Also, it would be terrifying for me to do something like that alone. I am definetly not that brave.

[Filo]

courtney..s ay away from tree planting and cherry picking.. biggest waste of time EVER

If yuo want to travel for free, teaching english is your best bet
