I don't have a car, I don't have anything but my photo gear, computer, clothes and a bicycle. I wouldn't be in a bind if I had A JOB. If I had a job that allowed me to travel overseas then I wouldn't have a problem at all, now would I? I'm not dismissing it at all but I'd like some actual advice on how to move someplace where I have no job, land on my feet and then be handed a job. If I make the effort to move overseas where these jobs are, it will take me close to a decade to save up enough money for a trip to this magical place. I have a friend out in Ridgefield, Washington who has a room that he will allow me to live in indefinitely. The problem is getting there. Then the problem is feeding myself because the Portland area has a pretty high unemployment rate. Telling someone who can carry most everything they own on a bicycle to just up and move is a bit myopic (or maybe the exact opposite), somewhat insensitive and irresponsible, in my opinion.
