Ever have the misfortune to need 3rd world health care?

Where/how do you get your funds (this you don't have to answer if you don't want)?

No, I haven't had the need, although I tore my miniscues in my knee in Chile, however Chile is not the third world and their medical system is about on par with ours but waaaay more affordable.

As to the funds, I do lots of different things but mostly it involves intense seasonal work. I worked on a fishing boat in Alaska for example. This is the way to go, because not only can you make lots of money quickly but you can also go on unemployment afterwards and have income on your trip if you don't go over seas, so that way I can travel inside the US for a bit and then go on a trip. I've also worked a little as a street performer.
