Never say never. There are ways to travel cheaper, and maybe even get paid for it. There are companies that pay for people to travel and write about their experiences. Publishers like Lonely Planet or bigger travel blogs.
Blogs like http://www.bootsnall.com, http://www.transitionsabroad.com/information/writers/writers.shtml, http://www.budgettravel.com/contact-us/ or http://www.worldhum.com/info/submissions/ pay neatly for well written and interesting articles.
There are ways and I hope you can go see these amazing sights.
