Walking around the world?

I want to walk around the U.S. or maybe even the world. I'd obviously take transportation if I have to (boat/train/plane) but I want to go and see what the world is these days. I would do small jobs here and there for money, food, shelter, etc. Idk why I want to do this but I do. I am 18. Am I crazy?

Go for it 62
Yes, you are crazy 7
No, you aren't crazy 15
Not a good idea 19
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I recently went backpacking all around Asia with my girlfriend. No cars, luggage, jobs, phones. It was the best thing I've ever done. Do it.

    There was this guy who walked around the world carrying a cross on his back the whole way. He was a pretty cool dude.

    i traveled around the est coast busking with a friend, best thing i have ever done, you be suprized how little money you can spend if you go about it wright. when we where low on cash for a motel we just started knocking on doorbells and telling our story, i was suprised on how kind most people are, some times we gust slept on couches, but often people gave us their spareroom and we ate with them, we spent the evenings with soo many random families .
    we only roughed it once but it was summer so it wasn't that bad

    You might be a little crazy, but that can be a good thing sometimes. I say if that is what you feel is your calling, then go for it :)

    For 5 years I jumped trains and hitched all over Canada and The States. It can be tuff at times, but I also had other issues. It all depends on how you do it, I guess.

    Well you could do it, but there are some places on this world where you don't want to go because it's too dangerous, you'll need to know where that is and avoid those places.
    You will also need money for places to stay and food, because realistically you won't get a job just like that everywhere you go.
    Just don't be naive and you can do it.
