People often think Im a trust fund baby (when in reality before traveling I was a nanny) when I tell them I have been traveling for two years with no plans to stop anytime soon. Yet, when they buy a 15,000$ car they think nothing of it. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that either, I have just chosen a nomadic life in my tent instead of the car. Everythings possible, money should never stop you from following the life of your dreams! 1,923$. That’s how much money I spent in the last year for everything from shampoo, to guest houses, to food, to pepper spray. I was able to complete one of my goals along this trip which was to prove that it’s possible to live and travel for less than 2,000$ a year. This doesn’t include visas and flights, which for me were costly and upped this years expenses to 3,458$, but still, how many of you can tell me you lived for a full year on that amount back home? People tell me they can’t travel because it’s expensive as they proceed to drive away in their car (which costs over 10,000$ a year on average just for insurance and gas) and straight into a Starbucks for their daily coffee (which, if you buy a four dollar coffee everyday, adds up to 1,500$ a year). You can travel, you just have to get your priorities straight in order to do so.
