I want to take a gap year and start traveling the world, yet I'm still a student and have little money. Colombia is pretty cheap so you don't spend much but you don't gain much either, and low skilled jobs are very hard to find, so even if you have one the amount of money you can save won't be enough to survive anywhere else. Still, I keep hearing that traveling is not as expensive or hard as I think. And also about these people that go to New Zealand or Australia (where people get paid more) and find a job kinda easily, live really cheap staying in hostels, housesitting or using Couchsurfing and save enough money to afford their travels (to cheap places at least). Is this actually possible or this only happens to a bunch of lucky people?
Thanks.
I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
