What is the cheapest way to move around Asian countries and Australia (Most of them are separated by water)?

Hi I want to backpack around Asia. I’m planning on going somehow in this order:

Venezuela (Where I live) -> Los Angeles -> Hawaii -> Japan (Tokyo, Osaka) -> South Korea (Seoul) -> China (Xi’an, Shanghai, Pekin) -> Taiwan (Taipei) -> Hong Kong -> Philippines -> Thailand -> Malaysia -> Singapore -> Indonesia -> Papua New Guinea -> Australia (Sydney) -> New Zealand -> Fiji -> and back home…

Most of this places are separated by water, and I guess air tickets will make my trip unaffordable (as far as I know), but I don’t know if there are ways to do some of the traveling by ferry boat or something…. Any ideas???? (Or places I must see, tips for saving on housing, etc…) Thanks!!!!!
