I am 21 year old. I live in a country where life is expensive and paycheck is low so I can't afford travelling at all. When I was younger I visited few countries and once i visited my cousins by my self, went on plane and stuff like that. Than I went to high school trip for few days abroad and that is it.
All my life I wanted to go abroad like visit the whole world and every now and then I would want to visit another place. The thing is this summer I feel it stronger than begore. I feel so trapped in this town, this country.... Sometimes I get the feeling like I will go insane if I don't escape somewhere. And it only gets stronger, than I am fine for some time and than all over again. I just want to escape.
Finland is first on my bucket list. That country is so amazing. But I have to finish my college first and than I can go,that's what my family says . Yes I do study in another town but I travel there and home. And I live in suburban place. Takes me half hour to the city and 2 hours to college.
The thing is I just can't take it anymore.
I have to go somewhere.
Far away.

    Might I suggest that you try sailing? You can sail the world for free and even get paid to do it once you become a good sailor.
    While you are in school, take some sailing lessons, or study books on sailing. It is NOT rocket science; men have been doing it for thousands of years.
    When you are ready to travel, pack a small bag and head to a town with some marinas or yacht clubs and begin working on boats, doing maintenance (painting, cleaning or whatever) in exchange for sailing. Soon there will be a boat going somewhere else that needs a crew, and you will be off on your adventure, for free.

    I have mad wanderlust and I travel a lot! On the plane home from my last trip I was already planning my next one. Idk where you but if moneys what's holding you back explore your own backyard first. Travel around your country and then just start saving for Finland.
