You can cross the oceans on a tramp freighter for cheap.

If you don't mind retail, you can usually get seasonal retail jobs around the holidays that if you are decent at can typically become full time. So just start around late october

As for retail, that would imply a near mastering of the home language, which even in france or germany, I'm not quite near that.

There's got to be something I could just kickstart with £1000 in my pocket and be gone for 6 months or so... with working a bit etc. Retail you could do in America, at least

Join the Army.

See the (**** parts) of the world.

Well, all of it isn't bad. I got to go to places like the UK, Germany, Italy, Thailand, Japan, Korea, and all over the US besides being forced to go to the odd war zone.
