Hej Karl!
Money? :shock: tack sa meka mate! I don't even remember what that stuff is anymore! :lol:
I'm doing what I'm doing on little to Zero budget. No sponsership, no wage, no clue, no prayer!
Actually I started with under £5000 and am currently looking at the thin side of under £3000. I tried every trick in the book to travel as cheaply as I could, sleeping in my car, camping out in the woods and mountains, getting washed in streams. Finding food from the wilds, you name it. I rarely stayed in a Hostel unless it was a capital city. If I was extremely lucky I was offered a place to stay by the Smiths I met, but I never forced myself on them or even asked. If they enquired where I was staying I was honest. You remember I slept outside the workshop at Volund in my car when it got well below zero? Luckily for me Karl lodges there and at least I got to sit in the warm until around midnight.
You don't need a massive budget to travel Karl, honestly. The biggest expense for me was petrol, for you it will be air fare and such. It's still do-able. I'd think nothing of hitching a ride around if I could find a Smith with a spare fire in Oz. I've got a working holiday visa for a year, which you could apply for too I think. Like Strine says, pack up your kit and up stumps. Oh and as far as me settling in Oz goes strine, I figured a year would be long enough to see if it was worth coming back in the future to stay
G'day Neighbour!
