RTW air tickets
Being a backpack traveler, I know that having an air ticket that can carry you from one part of the world to another is very important. Most backpack travelers don’t have a lot of money and the idea for many people wanting to travel the world is that you take time out from your daily life, stop working for a while, explore new parts of the world, meet other people, learn about new cultures etc. Many travelers know they will have to earn money sometime on a year long trip and look to spend at least part of it in a western country.
I’ve worked in Australia, Hong Kong and the US as well as Europe and you can often find a local who is willing to hire you for a short period without paperwork.
Stretching your money means living on a budget. That is a lot easier in places like Thailand and Bali than in Paris or Sydney. A RTW (round the world) air ticket is a bunch of one-ways strung together, so there really is no limit where you can go, it just depends of the price. Bali / Indonesia is a great place to spend part of your year around the world.
