I've been a cyclist for recreation and commuting for several years now (time flies when you're having fun) but I've never really heard of collecting money in order to fund your travels, rather than earning money through temporary labor or a steady job and funding trips during your free time.
I recently stumbled upon an online community of travelers that doesn't share my preconcieved notions of paying your own way through the world, and instead travels on donations from charitable others. This site, fundmytravel.com, allows average and exceptional people alike to create donation pages and solicit gifts from donors to pay for their journeys. These can range from the modest request of a college student attempting to fund a journey abroad, to people looking to pay for a bucket list-style trip of a lifetime.
In any case, it really leaves one wondering whether or not it's possible to jump on that train, and pay for the ticket with donations.
