How to become an explorer?

It seems like you have to be ridiculously qualified in some way to do anything fun as a career nowadays.

I don't want to go to college for four years to major in geography, or zoology, or any other of the myriad ologies out there just to be able to travel around and explore places.

I've explored basically everywhere within a five mile radius of my house, and now wish to actually explore somewhere relatively much cooler than the woods of Indiana.

How could I go about becoming an explorer?

Hi,

I know you can work for Starbucks travelling the world, looking for the best coffee beans. You should see how to go about doing that, it sounds pretty neat.

Or you could pick up a camera, take pictures and get them published (if they're good). Then you can travel everywhere and sustain yourself from the photography.

Dora dora dora the explorer!!

I've actually been thinking of becoming an explorer too! haha
well there really are heaps of things you can explor../fossils is one thing
or looking for gold...even just walking around in the woods!
you could google were you live and search for places that sound interesting to check out!
