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?

you just go lol, once you put your mind to it, you might just be able to explorer all around cities, and what their about, but putting college out for exploring, what will that do for your career?

I think that a lot of modern-day explorers didn't do well at school at all. The sort of peronality which can drive you on to overcome the odds in a hostile environment doesn't tend to cope well with teachers!

This is not to discourage you from getting qualifications, which are a useful backup when you're too old/injured/poor to explore, but it's just an observation that some people who do badly at school show their true abilities in later life.

Good luck!

well there are actually still great portions of the andes and amizon not yet explored and africa is often a mestrrios land preferably centeral africa very tribal.
