looking for suggestions
 
I'm thinking of going on my own mock version of Eat, Pray, Love to Lebanon, Bhutan/Nepal, and Sweden. I've got a budget of about $4500 and want to spend around a month in each place. Does anyone know of anyways that I can live super cheap and/or find temporary work to help fund the trip? And does anyone have any suggestions of sweet activities in these places? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can't afford Bhutan or Sweden on that budget.

You can't work in Sweden unless you're an EU citizen, or find a company that really wants to employ you and will get you a work visa. You can probably forget working in Bhutan except possibly as an English teacher.

To sleep cheap (free) see couchsurfing.com.

Go read some Lonely Planet guidebooks and then ask some sensible questions on the continent-specific forums.

And to get more responses-re-post your questions on the Asia, Europe and Africa/Middle East forums.

$4500 for three months will next to impossible. Your airfares alone will probably be $2000 - $2500 or more.

at this low income you can't afford any place.so go & get sleep.

Sweden is soooo expensive. There is no way $4500 will cover you for three months unfortunately, even if that doesn't include your airfare.

Your budget is nowhere near adequate. You either need more money or a less ambitious and lengthy itinerary.
