That's the first issue because you cannot travel internationally without one. Your question mentions going anywhere, well most countries these days require a visa - with the exception of the EU for UK citizens. Without knowing the language you will find it impossible to get a job, and with just £170 where are you going to live?
And, it might cost you that £170 just to get a plane ticket!
To answer your initial question. As long as you have money for a ticket, then yes it is easy to get on a plane and go anywhere. If you really want to go to France, why not get a job at a company that is located both in the UK and France so that way you can earn money and then transfer.
Amazon is a company that is located in both countries and will allow you to live where you want and earn money.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
