I want to travel around. NOT on a vacation. I'm not looking to stay in the best hotels I just want to see more of the world. I've worked since I was 16 to 18 and saved but is it enough to start?

You need to travel around your own country until you learn a few things. For one thing, you would not be allowed to cross the border with that much cash, so you need to make arrangements with some bank to transfer money to you when you need some. You also don't want to carry enough cash to be worth getting robbed. Travelers generally do not carry more than the price of a few meals, and they plan on working (farm labor) to pay their way.
Oh heavens! you got the wrong idea! I'm not trying to cross the border with that much! And I have traveled through the entirety of my country. I wouldn't just jump into a life of travel without knowing if I liked the general lay of it. I have ideas on how I would earn money once I get going. I just want back up for flights and the ability to pay for money and bored somewhere if needed. And unexpected doctor bills... travel fees... typical stuff. I would not carry that much cash around in my home town...
