    Hey,

    So i'll give you all a quick run down.

    20 Years old
    Based in the UK
    Freelance writer
    Finished a business course at college and about to go to university.
    Plenty of experience writing (24-30 months - all positive feedback)
    3-5 offers per week of $0.01 per word full time work, but usually get about 15,000+ of $0.02 per word work. (also have 6,000 per week of $0.04 per word work)

    I don't paticulary want to travel, but want to feel the benefit of seeing another country, whilst working, without having to save for months, ie: a workers holdiay :)

    I was thinking Thailand - but i don't want to fly out there to find i'm not or can't earn enough to live and can't get back.

    Thoughts?

    Any other good places to visit?

    I'm looking to go for 4-8 weeks, within the next 4-6 weeks.

    My idea is to visit India... But if I am a business man like you, business would be the best holiday spot because it makes you fat with $$ :D,

    Jokes apart, India is a good place to visit....:)

    I was thinking Thailand myself....Florida?

    That's expensive isn't it?

    I'm talking about taking it easy at around £200/$380 a week, by the time i've rented somewhere in Florida - i'd be broke!

    £200/$380 is enough if you travel to Thailand. I went to Thailand before for 2 week and spend only about £400 (excluding the air ticket)

    India would be the best choice. A well known place for hospitality.
