Abroad Travelling Opportunity

There are thousands of the people in this world who wish travel abroad but unfortunately due to their low financial status they are unable to travel abroad.

I think that there should be any competition / program / event / lucky draw through which the middle class family youngsters like us can also get a chance to travel abroad.

I think that anyone with big heart at least (if you can’t assist financially) should come forward to help or guide the people like me.

And someone should give me a free car.

and sweet home also...

Fred

may I have some ladies to do free housework, please?
One to make cups of tea, another to wash and iron and so on.
Sort of like being married but without the nagging.

There's a lot of these in Indonesia yearly. Attend cultural events (a lot of opportunities in art and film industry for example), get to know the right people- a LOT of people. The exchange usually is, you will end up making a paper about the trip and how it relates back to the country... how you can your trip give you insight about the industry workings and how it could improve ours in some ways or the other. There are grants from the government also, and of course you do need to make proposals for it...

Knowing the right people is important- to show how you're capable and definitely deserve the 'free' trips ;)

You can also WORK for it.

Nothing for nothing.

Dear Friend,

Will you please tell me about these opportunities how to contact and to whom I should contact?

James

Owais,

These opportunities are quite simple:

1. You take part of your salary (therefore must have a job) and put it into a bank account. Do this regularly until you've saved up a lot of money.

2. You apply to your government for a passport.

3.  You apply to other countries you wish to visit for a visa if one is needed.

4. You take your money out of the bank and give it to some very friendly representative of one of the airlines in your country who will give you airline tickets.

5. You take the rest of your money to pay hotels and restaurants, etc., in the countries you visit.

That's how these opportunities work.

Almost as funny as this thread isn't it?

That's crazy talk.  Work, responsibility, consequences.  Why deal with all of that when you can stick out your hand and wait for all of your dreams to just magically fall into your lap?

Friendly?  What airline are you flying?

James

Flying all my own airlines created on my computer Hailey, you've forgotten that I'm addicted to Microsoft Flight Simulator???

Here is the very first aircraft repaint I ever did for Flightsim, it's a Canadian airline Greyhound Air (now defunct) Boeing 727, which I actually flew on twice on a trip between Vancouver BC and Hamilton ON many years ago. This was my first repaint and still my favorite after having done dozens more.

I've piloted real aircraft - okey, just a Cessna a few times but I jumped out of one at 2,000 feet.
That was all sorts of fun.

owais.truefriend, age is an excuse.

No one is going to do it for you.

Anything you want in life you can have if you are willing to pay the price.

Know the feeling, while I've never jumped out of one nor would I ever do so, I hung out the door of the Piper PA-22 Tripacer I was piloting 5000 feet above Niagara Falls to take photos, just that flimsy seatbelt separating me from a splat. Crazy when I think back on it. All my friends asked what was wrong with my camera leaving that black semi-circle in the bottom of each photo. You should have seen the look on their faces when I told them it was the tire of the aircraft.

That's pretty cool stuff.
I'm toying with the idea of buying a small drone so I can get aerial photos.
The ones I've been looking at are a bit on the expensive side so I'm hanging on in the hope of finding something reasonable.
They're controlled by the mobile phone and send recordable pictures/video directly to it.
