The Final Tally

Well, we finally sat down the other day and added it all up. Yup, everything. We'd guesstimated we were spending approx. $25/day for 2 people - a total bargain considering we never felt like we couldn't do something we really wanted due to cash. Yes, we were living simply, but we always had a private room, ate three meals a day and basically had the time of our lives. I know the numbers are skewed a bit with 4 months traveling in the U.S., 3 months in Europe and the balance in Asia, but here it is.

The actuality -

This includes everything - from airfare to get there and between countries, travelers health care, visas, day-to-day living... everything. Total = $38.40/day for 2 people

If we back out the variable and optional items, namely airfare + health care, we come up with a new grand total of... Total = $31.70/day for 2 people


I hope this helps some of you in your future trip planning :)
