Hi /trv/, I'm new to this board and come here in search

Taking a ship is more expensive than flying. Also, be careful of visas/visa-free stays. You get 90 days in the Schengen zone.

I think I can get German nationality, does it help?

Well duh (no offence). If you get German nationality you can stay and work in the EU for the rest of your life. Also, forget about ships. Go to ITAMATRIX for the cheapest flight. Do a search for all airports within 1000 miles of your home, then destination as "all airports within 1500 miles" of some central European country: Flying in from Chile, I assume that Madrid will be the cheapest place to fly to.

If anyone has any experience post your tips

You should definatly try to hitchhike, go to the hitchikers-wiki online, they have great tips and its super ez. I have tried it multiple times, and people are so friendly!
Other recommendation: go outside of the beaten path, travellers rule nr.1. Go to the outskirts and visit countries that you have no desire to visit, and get surprized!

fly to somewhere on the very west coast of europe like ireland, spain, portugal or iceland and get the local budget carriers (wow air, ryanair, easy jet) onwards, if you want to keep the cost down.

Hi Chileanon,
You might consider looking for a privately owned sailing yacht that is travelling up the coast to the Caribbean and from there, stay with that vessel or find a new one that's heading back to Europe.

It is not uncommon to find couples or larger yachts who are willing to train an unskilled person in sailing. You will not be paid, but you'll have food and a cabin for the journey. It would certainly be an adventurous way to get there and you could manage the entire trip for very little money at all. Of course, it could take months to get where you're going but when you're sailing through paradise, who cares?

Google 'Sailing Crew Forums' and find one that has a south american contingent. People will post there when they need crew. Alternatively you can just go to the biggest sailing marina in Santiago and post a few ads. Bonus if you have any cooking/medical/mechanical experience of course.

I'm thinking of visiting Chile, would you mind taking a look at my thread if you get a moment? Thanks and best of luck to you.
