What you don’t metion is LOCATION. Traveling in the western developed world is far more expensive than traveling elsewhere. A budget hotel in Japan would keep you in luxury elsewhere…

The other thing about souvenirs is that a) they generate more weight that you have to carry and b) where do you put them when when you get home (usually they just gather dust!)

Thanks for an enjoyable read and useful information. My wife and I were able to travel the world, taking in 17 countries for less than $10,000 each and all without working a single hour or sleeping on a couch. I was amazed at the fact world travel can be as inexpensive as it actually is. There were several people we met along the way who were expressing they needed to return from their trip early due to running out of money, but then these people were less informed about how to budget.

Souvenirs will certainly put a dent in your pocket, but then again spending $75 to buy a mountain of new clothes in Bangkok was a real treat. Think of all the money saved on not having to buy clothes back home for a long time!

Enjoyed the read and wish you every success with your book.

i like the idea of traveling slowly. it’s really true that it’s always the trains, planes and automobiles that end up costing a fortune.
