How can I move abroad for free?

I am tired of my life, I hate my job, I hate the place I live, I hate the modern world. I want to move to a less technologically advanced place and live a simple life, but I don’t have any money or any useful qualifications. I have a third-class BA in philosophy and am a qualified fitness instructor but they aren’t very useful. I want to move to a less technologically advanced country, I don’t care about having lots of money, as long as I’ve got somewhere to live and food that’s good enough for me. I’ve looked into volunteering abroad schemes but 1. you have to pay for most of them and 2. they are usually short-term. Can anyone think of a way I can go permanently and for free? I’m not bothered where, somewhere in Asia would be good I guess.
Actually I would love to live in Peru. I don’t want to teach though, I’d rather have a physical job.

Moving abroad is generally not easy and I’m not aware of anything that would be free. As a minimum, you would need to go through the visa process to get permission to immigrate. That will generally require you to show that you have the resources to support yourself where you want to live.

You need to have some plan for how you would support yourself and then do some research to find a place that interests you. You might look into the expat websites for various countries that might interest you. You can find them by doing a simple search for “expat” and the name of the country you’re interested in. These can give you a pretty good idea of what daily life is like and how to get started in a new place. You also need to find someplace where you know or are willing to learn the language.
