Question for experienced backpackers/travellers?
dan_the_man asked:
Im going on a round the world trip in May/June and I have broken down the cost of each area and the trip in total. Does this seem about right? I know I could probably get by on a bit less in Asia, Im just trying to allow for slightly more just incase.Fiji or Samoa 2 weeks £20 per day
New Zealand 4 weeks £20 per day
Australia 20 weeks £20 per day
Bali 3 weeks £15 per day
Singapore 4 days £25 per day
Malaysia 2 weeks £15 per day
Thailand 3 weeks £15 per day
Cambodia 1 week £15 per day
Vietnam 3 weeks £15 per day
So far just the cost of living comes to £5140 !
Then I have my rtw ticket £1200
Travel Insurance £250
Visas £150
Innocculations -£100 approx
Internal Flights £150
I also want to do a Padi Diving course £150-200
So its now £7190…
Does anyone think that I have missed any other expenses, or that my prices need adjusting?
I am staying in Australia for 5 months and Im hoping to work for about 3 months to get more cash.
Thanks
Damn, by the sounds of it I am underestimating by quite a bit. Double it! That means I need about 12k! I
f I work in Oz I think I could maybe have 6.5-7.5k but nowhere near £12,000…
