I want to leave school at 16 to go travelling. I want to live in Italy, but travel to other places a lot. I don't even care if I spend all my money on food and plane tickets, being rich isn't as important to me as travelling.

I'm going to be graduating in a few weeks, and I have big dreams of travelling but no money to make any of it a reality. I love travelling and have gone to several places around the US on school and church trips, but have never been able to leave the country.

I want to visit Québec, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, The Netherlands and Japan sometime before I die.

Maybe I'll settle for taking a road trip this summer or spending another week or so at music camp (or both :P). My road blocks will be the fact that I need to work to make money for college and that I may be taking another French class before the first semester of university starts next fall.

Also, I have nobody to go with. Although I'd certainly enjoy travelling alone, that sounds like a major safety risk in theory considering that I don't even have a cell phone.

I lived in Australia my whole life and well its pretty boring here. I mean i seen all the sights pretty much twice or more now. I've been to America which was absolutely amazing and i go there again any day, also been to New Zealand which is a very beautiful, I've only gone to south island though were I had my first snow experience and Fiji which is a tropical island in South pacific. I can't wait till i finish school so I can travel the world, i especially want to travel all over Europe and i also want to go to the African safari.

for some reason im not allowed to send links but there are a few volunteer sites that offer pretty cheap accom and food (about £20-£40 a week for everythin!), so flights are the main expense. also there are organisations that help find temp paid jobs abroad and the european commission can find you a job and pay for your accommodation (but you wont get payed, and you still have to pay for flights) anywhere in the EU (my sis worked in Seville for 3 months). Check out Sichuan panda reserves and Guangxi province in S.China they look amazin!

I'm going away next month for a month, wish it could be longer. I think after that I'll save even more money to make it a possibility.

I haven't liked very much of the traveling (family vacations) I've done so far. It's too stressful. I might enjoy traveling if I went somewhere I wanted to go and planned my schedule in advance.

I want to live somewhere far away. I can't spend the rest of my life in the country I grew up in. I speak English, French and Spanish so that could take me places. Maybe I can get a job teaching guitar in Chile or something.
