Sorry about the urgency of my newb post, but I have been lurking for a bit and am really getting the travel fever.
a) I really want to travel overseas, but after rent/bills/gas expenses in downtown Atlanta GA...I can only sock away 300 or so USD a week at my job. It seems like some of you guys travel for months at a time, hitting tons of countries etc...how do you guys get $$$$????
Anybody want to talk about budgets? How much did it cost ya to go to Australia for a month or backpack around the EU for a summer? Can you really live for a long while in central/south america or africa on the strength of the US dollar?
B) How do you guys keep costs down? working in foreign countries? I would assume that i could travel for a bit in south america or africa for cheap, but if I wanted to stay a few months in Oz or the EU i'd have to get a job. anybody done this? i'm not going to spend tons of cash on one of those BS visa services...but has anyone else worked at anything in a large foreign city?
any thoughts would be appreciated...esp. concerning $$$$!!!!!
thanks-
