My wife and I spent $33k for 12 months and kept a very detailed budget. We traveled in 4 continents and through 30+ countries. We have a detailed budget overview

In reply to Freddy. Yeah, that's a ridiculously high figure. You can do what you describe above on under half that with a few smarts. But it's up to you, spend what you want to spend. We've been travelling full time for 6 years and still don't spend that much. Even Tibet, which is a top dollar destination, was only about $150 each per day. Only place you's need that much..maybe Singapore, where we payed $600 just for the hotel, and Bhutan.

I say if you want to do things right, a $500 per day for two people would be grand. So a 365 around the world should come in at a little under $200,000 USD. That’s about how much my friend ESTELLE told me she spent and she visited 32 countries. One full year. Stayed at amazing AIRBNB and travelled in style. Still, it was not an expernsive nor FIRST CLASS vacation but she was able to stay at places that were immaculately clean and very comfortable.

Wow! Yes, I’d be really pleased with that too!! Amazing. I thought it would be a lot higher.

And yes, I will share your blog post. Sharing it in the Google+ Roadschool community. I’m sure the homeschooling families there will be very interested!
Here’s a link to the share and the community if you want to check it out.

$100/day, for us would be $146,000 Izy. That would be an extremely expensive year! You really could live like kings on that sort of budget, which for us, absolutely honestly, would spoil it. We love backpacking, we enjoy the lifestyle. Sure, it’s fun to splurge now and then, it makes a change, we’re not strangers to $600/night hotels, but that’s not what this last year has been about. We’re all about the places we visit, not luxury accommodation
