Is it expensive to travel around the world? How much would you spend while traveling? This series of posts is aimed at helping travelers plan their budgets before hitting the road. When we started traveling we were always worrying about how much money we would need, so we decided to share our expenses, as this might help other travelers. Lying on the white sands, sunbathing with marine iguanas after a swim with reef sharks, and being surrounded by blue-footed boobies and lots of other different birds. Yes baby, we are still in the Galapagos! We spent our seventh month of travel on the island of Santa Cruz in the Galapagos. We had originally planned to stay in the...

Is it expensive to travel around the world? How much would you spend while traveling? This series of posts is aimed at helping travelers plan their budgets before hitting the road. When we started traveling we were always worrying about how much money we would need, so we decided to share our expenses, as this might help other travelers. “Really exhausted, 7 nights, 6 hotels, 4 planes and 2 countries!” That was our Facebook status two weeks before we ended the month! Now we have completed our first six months on the road. Prior to this week we were still in Rurrenabaque in the Amazonian basin of Bolivia,– where we celebrated our marriage anniversary....

Statistics from Six Months of Travel

A detailed post about our first six months on the road—expenses and statistics from our around-the-world journey. Well, six months of our journey around the world have passed—six months traveling from one place to the other, jumping between hotels, hostels, private apartments or CouchSurfing here and there. Between when we started (with losing my bags in NY subway actually!) and now (planning for the next stage of our travels), we hardly even realized that we’ve been on the road for six months. Crazy how time flies! We have enjoyed our travels and sightseeing, but a big part of our joy has been from the friends we have made: fellow travelers we met along the way,...

When we started traveling we were always worrying about how much money we would need, so we decided to share our expenses, as this might help other travelers. Our 5th month of travel around the world was by far the best month of our trip so far. We have enjoyed and relaxed and gotten to meet some amazing people and do some amazing things. After few weeks of doing almost nothing but working and eating in Cochabamba, it was time for us to hit the road again and search for our next location....

Is it expensive to travel around the world? How much would you spend while traveling? This series of posts is aimed at helping travelers to plan their budgets before hitting the road. When we started traveling we always had the worry about how much money we would need—so we’ve decided to share our expenses, as this might help other travelers. Our fourth month has been all about relaxing—very laid back. It also contained a few unexpected and unplanned events. It all started after our second night in Cochabamba, when we discovered that there would be a curfew the next morning and we could not go out or else we would get arrested. What?! Yes, it was the census day in...
