I don't think that it is possible to travel without any money at all, but there many ways to save money. If you are going to fly to another country try to find a budget airline. Direct flights are generally more expensive, and if you are willing to change planes you can often save some money. If you are travellong over land hitchhiking is the cheapest option, but it can be risky. The cheapest kinds of accomadation are camping, a hostel dorm or couchsurfing. Have you heard about couchsurfing? People from around the word offer you a free bed in their home. I haven't used it myself, but it is definately a way to save some money. I hope that you will manage to achieve your goal about a trip to New Zealand or Australia

Yes, I also think that couchsurfing can be risky if you travel alone. If I travel alone as a woman I wouldn't do it, because I would be spending the night in a stranger's home, and it would be hard to know if I can trust the person who lets me sleep in their home. If I am travelling with my husband I would be less afraid, and it is possible to find couchsurfing hosts who have enough room for two people. My husband and I have talked about using couchsurfing when we visit Swizerland, because accomodation in Switzerland is very expensive, even the hostels in Switzerland are expensive, so couchsurfing would be a way to save some money.

It is impossible to travel abroad without money. To travel abroad, first of all, you need to have formalities done before you can travel and it needs about more than three hundred RMB for the formalities. There are too many places that you need to spend money on. Without money, it is difficult to do anything you wish to unless it is free of charge. But you may plan to travel cheaply to neighboring countries which helps save a lot of money. Anyway, I wish you to figure out a way that helps realize this dream of yours with good luck.

It is possible to travel overseas with just a little bit of money but it would be too challenging to travel with no money whatsoever. It might be possible to work abroad. That is how I managed to have the necessary money to travel around Europe. I got a job as a children's nanny in Finland and after it took an inter rail ticket around Europe. I stayed in dorms in youth hostels. Hitch hiking can be free but it can also be dangerous. Camping in your own tent is free or costs very little. It is possible to do some couch surfing and that is free accommodation. In return you could offer to show travelers around your local area. Good luck.

Perhaps you could travel for free if you will go with somebody who will pay for your expenses or you can apply to work for that place. That way you can go to a certain place for free.
Well, like you that is also one of my dreams, to travel abroad but as of now I am concentrating on our own country. I want to know more about the places in our country then maybe perhaps if I have save enough money, I would travel in some places outside the country.

I don't think that is possible nowadays. Unless you find some foundation or something, which allows you to go if you volunteer for something. I had a teacher in highschool who travelled abroad in his youth without money. He took a bag of face creams with him and sold them on the streets. He also said that in Europe countries most people don't take you money for taking you in their cars on the highway.
However, I think it is very risky to go abroad without money.

It is possible if you'll win such promos with reward of free trip abroad. Another way is when your boss in your current job will ask for some assistance and will carry you at his own expenses just like one of my relatives.
But in the real sense, it is impossible to go abroad without money, even those free trips in promos and similar stuffs, money is still there, its not just you who spend. :)
