Funding my wandering!

[hideous_ape]

Hi,

I have only saved about 600 Euro so far but want to head off in the next month or two.
I was thinking about doing some short-term work somewhere first. I could see some of that country and save some cash at the same time. I could look for more work along the way at another stop. Is this wise or very dumb?
Should I have all the money I'm gonna need in advance?

I am currently unemployed and living in Ireland so I don't really have any time restrictions on how long I can wander and work around Europe plus I don't have far to travel to get home if things go wrong!
I was looking at Fruit-picking in either Denmark, England or Scotland to start off with!
Is this sort of work a rip-off?

Any places you can recommend for short-term work?

Or am I mad in the head for not having a few thousand euros already saved?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi...No I don't think your nuts for not having money saved already....I was wondering the same thing actually....I want to backpack around around Europe straight out of high school..only being able to have a part time job doesn't exactly make me a millionaire. I thought it would be fun to travel around a country, and when I get low on money, get a little job somewhere to make enough money to get to the next country...I think your idea about fruit picking in Denmark is great. ...One question...where do work visas come in?
