Personally I believe travelling the world on a much smaller budget (like lower 5 figures, depending on how many years you travel of course) is more interesting.

Personally I believe travelling the world on a much smaller budget (like lower 5 figures, depending on how many years you travel of course) is more interesting. Instead of big hotels you stay in small guesthouses, more contact to fellow travellers (of that age-group) and contact to the locals.
- skilled 5y agoIt was in the lower spectrum of 6 figures, spread out over 4 years of almost persistent travel. A lot of that money went to plane tickets, which is crazy to think, really. But for the most part, I was renting houses that were maybe $300 a month on the lower side and $600 a month if I was staying in Bali. I enjoy quiet and in a sense it is priceless for me to be away from busy roads. And, of course, a lot of hotels along the way. I also learned to eat entirely local, but this took time. The first 6 months of traveling Asia was an absolute nightmare for my gut. And I truly mean that. I don't even want to go into details because it was that gross. But I understand what you are saying. I made some costly mistakes, especially in the first part of my journey. It certainly taught me a lot about myself in the process.
