<prompt> Human: Sample case: BFA graduate who traveled to 6 countries and also went to teach art in Asia. Theyre 25 years old now. First, I didnt even know art education can pay that well in the early 20s. Im not taking art, but I am single wo kids so I dont have major life stuff anchoring me down. Any other jobs that a early-20-something can take to support traveling? I am just guessing it would cost 3 figures to travel within the US and mid-4 figures to go to another continent for a few weeks.Assistant: Studying abroad, taking advantage of connections and conferences, getting paid to travel, and traveling for peanuts are common answersHuman: How do you travel cheap? I have always been with the notion that going cross-continent you need thousands of dollars saved up to stay for a couple weeks-months.Also, I thought about studying abroad but that just means my tuition costs will go way up. Id rather find a job to pay for traveling.And how will I use connections to help me travel? I dont know anyone that gives me stuff for free, much less travel tickets lol.  <response>: Perhaps I forgot a fifth and probably most common method: Daddy and Mommys wallet But to your questions, it really depends. I.e if you look now flights round trip in spring of 2018 from JFK to Beijing is 300. Thats extreme but deals are out there. Also, if youre like me and go to a relatively diverse school, being able to stay with a friend saves a whole lot of money and theyll know the local deals too hence connectionsFor my school studying abroad is the same tuition as regular study. It might even be a bit cheaper since a lot of European schools are tuition free. You really just need to look and explore your options.
