Is it possible to hitch-hike around the world, on a shoe-string budget?

Question

Starting from the U.S. And what is essential to bring along with you?

Answer 1

You can't hitch-hike across the ocean so you will need to work and earn passage. You will need to work your way along the way to do it on a shoe-string budget anyway. Be sure you have your passport before you go and map out the friendly countries you will pass through. Have fun and Best of Luck!
