While travelling abroad may not really be a solution out of poverty, it may be a "precursor" to a good life depending on how you view it. the good thing about travelling abroad is the fact that u can meet people of different background, countries and lifestyle. Secondly, there are nice businesses that are obtainable abroad that if u get there and bring the idea down, u could be in money soon. Consider the person that started polyphonic ring tones and ATM cards in nigeria, thay got the idea from somewhere.
Think twice.
