    Are you only 15? You have a pretty damn good head on your shoulders. I've begun typing out advice but it's clear you don't need my help or guidance- you';re already finding your own path and not so bent on deviating that you lose sight of who you are... so what the hell good am I in this thread? I can encourage. :)

    there is no norm to break free from, only the lies we perpetuate by telling ourselves and each other.

    there is such a thing as consideration though. the avoidance of causing suffering. of impairing someone else's means of survival and of creating and exploring without making a pain in the ass of themselves to us and each other.

    and of course we are always being politiclly coerced into confusing the one with the other, but they really are totally seperate and appart.

    Lol.

    Cheers for the words my friend.

    I like your reply. You look at things from a spiritual aspect, and maybe involving some Buddhist Philosophy.(?)

    "The lies we perpetuate by telling ourselves and each other." IS the norm. If you tell a lie long enough, it becomes true. In other words, these lies we have told, that originally erects from Greed and the lust for Power, have become the standard by which are expected to live by.

    So either way, I am going to break free. ;)

    You kind of described the life I am living and the dreams I am chasing.
    If that is what you want, just do it.
    It is as easy as that, it really is.

    :D

    Man, I can't wait until I'm up and out of here!
    May I ask how exactly are you using a computer? Do you stay at hotels, or do you have a temporary home.

    Do you have a job?

    *Sorry for the barrage of questions, curious.*

    Never apologize for being curious. You'll never get the answer to questions you don't ask.

    Your best source of information on things of this sort is a magazine called "Verge" it is published every 2 months.

    It is a good guide to learning, living, working and volunteering overseas.

    Be vary wary of advice over the internet. There are a lot of dreamers who have not actually done what you are wanting to do. Lots of pretenders too.

    Ultimately it is you that is going to be over there. It is your life that is on the line.

    The reference of the magazine that I gave you is the best source for doing what you want to do.

    My path is in other places. But rather than giving any advice I offer you the best reference out there.

    Very well said sir.

    Stinkfoot that was an excellent phrase, It sounds like a quote from the Dalli Llama. :D

    Thanks for the Source, I'll look into it.

    Right on :)

    The devil is greed, god is nature... the world chases one but calls it the other... while deteriorating into hell promised and not even knowing why.

    You define a more natural course of thought, a more true course...

    I'll spark one up to ya later on :D

    Basically, I work for a few months and with that money I can travel for months or even years. Internet cafes are everywhere and there are many cheap guesthouses and restaurants. In many parts of the world you can get by with $5 a day. But you can make it as cheap or expensive as you want, for example by staying and eating with local people or camping.

    Feel free to ask any questions you want, I will gladly be of any assistance.
