I am only young and a teenager but i know i want to go travelling and literally see the world, but i know that it costs so much, but its literally my dream!! I write songs and sing and stuff which i guess i could use as a job to take me travelling round the world, but am i being unrealistic, with the money issues and that. is there any way i can achieve this?

Save toward the goal of eventually traveling. The music may be transportable if you're good, but be aware that even as a busker, you would need to get a visa that allows you to work in another country to work there legally. You would also need any applicable local licenses. When I lived in Italy (the last 13 years) there were a lot of popular busker festivals which did include international acta as well as buskers at various tourist sites, but you almost always also saw the police out checking for paperwork that made performing legal.

Prices depend on exactly where you're starting from, when you go (prices vary a lot), how long you stay, where you go in Europe, how you get around, the kind of places you stay in and what you see/do/eat. People who backpack generally can get by for $100 per day staying in cheap hostels and carefully watching their budget (not including airfare). However, if you stay in hotels, it will cost you more. I usually spend 100 to 150 euro a night for a hotel just for myself, but there are cheaper places.

Here are some resources that can help you plan and check options and current prices for your trip (expect prices in the future to rise):

http://www.kayak.com/ - airfares & hotels; the explore function is useful for finding the less expensive places to fly into from your starting point.

http://www.skyscanner.it/ - particularly good for budget flights within Europe, but you can also use everywhere as a destination to do something like the explore option on Kayak. You may not need the airfares, but you can compare to the cost of the trains to get around. this one may be more useful for you.

http://www.seat61.com/ - a great train site with details about railpasses. It can be cheaper to buy individual tickets than passes. This site will tell you how to determine whether you're better off with a railpass or individual tickets or some combination for your trip. It also details how to use the pass and what to avoid to get the best use out of a pass. Most high speed, international and night trains require reservations and will require you to pay a supplement when you use a railpass. You need to be aware that a railpass is almost always more expensive for trains here in some places like Italy and Spain.

http://www.venere.com/ - hotels/B&Bs - prices for the same hotel can vary hugely depending on the season and what local events are going on.

You can also look into camping or couch surfing as cheaper alternatives for accommodations.

For sightseeing prices: check the websites for entrance fees for the museums & galleries you're interested in. I spend anywhere between nothing and 40 euro a day depending on exactly what I go to see when out exploring. For food, I spend around 25 to 50 euro for a meal, but you can eat for less. A pizza is 8 to 13 euro and a panino or wrap is around 3 to 6.50 euro in many places. You can often get food at festivals at a relatively low price. You can also shop in the markets and put some meals together for yourselves.When I travel, I like to try the local specialties and the good restaurants.

Travelling doesn't cost that much. You need a flight of course, and you can't do a lot about these costs, but after that, you can cut down on costs. You can stay at hostels or youth hostels, maybe you can visit a friend abroad, or you might even try couchsurfing. ... You don't have to go out to eat while abroad. Yes, it is part of any culture - but if money is an issue, you can live off cold food from the supermarket for days. I'm thinking of bagels, cheese rolls, fruit, maybe even cereal, if you can find small boxes and small cartons of milk (as you'll usually not have the use of a refrigerator. Hostels don't have minibars.)

I think there's one thing that's unrealistic, and that's earning money for traveling by singing. You may earn a few dollars that way, but you'll need a few hundred for an airline ticket.

Just plan one trip at a time. The dream of "seeing the world" may sound far-fetched, but how does "going to Madrid and Barcelona for two weeks" sound? To me, it sounds a bit more feasible and realistic. ... One step at a time.

If you care about luxuries then yes you're being unrealistic. But I feel like you described about traveling and I don't care about luxuries. My plan is to travel the World, meet people, never pass up any opportunity, just go with it. I'll be a gypsy. Listen to ride by lana del rey. And watch the video.

a professional travelling busker... could be a good option

but you need to be pretty talented to get the money collected

also to get the good locations can be competitive

and some countries/cities require buskers to have a licence/permit

another option cruise liners are always looking for talented people to entertain the guests

that will be fun
