Hobo Round The World! Anonymous
So guys, I want to take a trip around the world for a few years before I go to college and maybe do a little painting while I'm at it. Problem

is, I'm a pretty damn poor bastard. To save up $300 (USD) takes me about 4-5 months after paying for rent, food, electric, ect.

So my current plan is to basically buy a bunch of camping gear, but no more than I can carry on my back, and hobo it around the world,

doing odd jobs to earn my keep and largely roughing it. I'm still quite young and I could use to lose a little weight, so some hard work

and lack of food won't kill me. I want to only build up a minimal fund that would only be tapped for innoculations, emergency food, and a

plane ticket when I hit a major geographic wall. I'm gonna bring a Digital Camera and a DS with colors and some other apps loaded on

and a solar charger so I can paint without having to spend money on paints and canvases. I also want to take a collapseable bike for speedy travel.

I'm thinking of going to India first, seeing as how the climate there allows for one to sleep in the street with no cover and not freeze to death, though not being robbed is another story. From there, who knows where I'll go.

The majority of money spent while traveling is on Rent, eating in restaraunts, and tickets.

you shouldn't have problems if you stay in a tent while in rural areas, but don't try to do it in the city... you'll get a nice visit from the cops... or worse.

try couchsurfing.com to see if there is anyone who will put you up where you want to go.

I admire your free spirit.

Do this while you are young and you have nothing to tie you down, before you have a career, kids, a GF, college, etc.

OP Here: I know I'll need a passport going from country to country, but do you guys think I'll need a visa in any of the countries I go to, or can I just get away with claming to be on an extended vacation? (If you think about it, it really is just an extended vaction, it's just a vaction that'll last a few years and during which I'll be doing some odd work for money and food and such.)
