How Much Does it Really Cost to Travel the World? | Budget RTW Trip Guide

[@Slashplite]

One more tip: Don't think Europe has the same prices. 1 day in Norway is equal to a week in Poland and 2 weeks in Moldova.

[@vagabrothers]

+Slashplite amen!!!

[@philtrash2890]

True ! I went to poland for a week and only spent 100€ for the whole trip :)

[@NorthernSpartan]

Maan ikr. I live in Norway. I was at a good restaurant with my parents and it cost like 40$ per person to eat. Add some beer/soda, 170$ easily. Norway is super expensive.

[@UNROOTME]

Good to know!

[@williamolsen8464]

My mum's from Norway and she told me a lot of Norwegians travel to Sweden to buy groceries cos Norway is hella expensive

[@Hyrtsi]

Travel when you're young. Short trips cost more than long ones. There are ways to make money while travelling. Try couchsurfing or switching apartments. Leave your attitude, fears and prejudgements home and learn to live in the moment.

[@Averro]

can easily confirm, that I spent less travelling asia for 2 months, than staying at home in Germany! :) Good one Bro's!

+Adi-G Awesome! It's crazy how that can happen!

[@Helen-wj5gf]

[@vagabrothers]

[@katrinakl]

I agree with this. I spent 4 months in SE Asia on a pretty small budget, about the equivalent of visiting New Zealand for 2-3 weeks.

[@ashleyhood7479]

+Adi-G how did you get around with the language barrier? That's one of my worries about Asia travel. Do you need a translator? Friends who are there and bilingual?

[@KelsVaughne]

Such a spot on video! My husband and I started traveling full time in December after selling everything we own and quitting our jobs. We spend soooo much less money on the road than we ever did at home. For instance, we currently "live" in Bali, Indonesia and we spend on average a total of $40 usd per day (and yes that includes accommodation, transportation, and food). It's ridiculous how much cheaper our daily budget is in comparison to our budget when we were at home!

[@bluelift583]

Wow that's really cool, I would love to experiment such a thing, but knowing that I'm 17 yo I have to wait... travel is a really unique experience that everyone should experiment in life!

[@Pratyusha2209]

Cam and Kels can a person work for part time (like server, babysitting or maid....) While traveling in another country which the person doesn't belong to for long time like month or two

[@LuDimezofKush]

The only problem is you wont be earning the salary you did at home while traveling which is the dbl edge sword. You may not be getting any income at all so even thought the cost is cheaper it still evens out. I'm happy to hear you guys made such a daring move and are living life. I don't mean to be a downer its just that always pops up in my head when they say its cheaper to travel around the world than at home.

I’m American, and I started long-term traveling by quitting my retail job to work a seasonal job in Juneau, Alaska for 6 months. It was by far the best time I’ve had in my entire life, thus far. After the Alaskan summer season, I went home for 2 months & earned an au pair visa, and now I’m in Madrid, Spain. Au pairing is definitely a great way to travel bc you earn pocket money and have no bills (you live w/a host family that provides you a private room and all of your meals). The only problem I encountered was a personal one - I missed nature like crazy, and didn’t get along well w/the big city that is Madrid, so I’ll soon volunteer in a hostel that is for rock climbers!

I worked three jobs for 6 months in Denmark and travelled to New Zealand and Australia for 5 months. It's obviously expensive countries too. I'm not into bungy jumping or skydiving, I didn't go out much to drink, but I did everything else I felt like such as horseback riding, rafting etcetera. I stayed in dorm rooms at hostels and cooked most of my food, but then I also had the money to go out for a nice dinner after a hike where I could hardly move my arms or legs afterwards! Before I bought hiking boots, a ticket or my backpack I had about 100.000 Danish kroner, which comes to 15000 dollars. I had a bit of money on the bank account when I got back home, I brought souvenirs home as well. This was only for half a year of travelling but in only expensive countries. I also took a guided bus tour from Darwin to Melbourne etc. which was more expensive than for example travelling by Greyhound bus as I did along the east coast of Australia. I found the airplane ticket really is about 1/10th of the entire budget, after all you pay the same to fly there whether you stay for a week or half a year.

As usual, love the tips! I did a 6 month trip (the plan was a year but I got tired and homesick, so, that was a learning experience too!). I would say I spent not over 3,000 us dollars. Yes, lots of low cost airlines buy also lots of buses (my favorites). I went form Turkey to Morocco including the expensive Switzerland. I do have a couple of tricks: 1) staying sometimes with friends and 2)volunteer jobs trough Workaway, which I loved because I truly got to interact with locals, amazing homemade food, learn a lot and met amazing people closer to your mindset. Most of my meals came from shopping in supermarkets but I do get coffees in lovely places with amazing views. Be driven by enthusiasm, research a lot and be open to the detours......and have fun! :D Those are my tips :)

[@ShawnMcCall]

Great ideas! I have one additional option especially if you happen to be an educator. I started doing EF tours with my students. If you get 6 or more paying students signed up, your trip is covered for free. We just got back from a 10 day London/Paris trip and I only paid about $300-400 (just tips, some lunches on my own, and some souvenirs). I vloged the trip (first time vloger warning) if anyone wants to know what its like. two years ago, we did a tour of Germany and the Swill Alps. The nice thing is you get to see lots of the big tourist destinations without paying. You can also accumulate points with EF based on how many students you bring, and you can use those points for trips on your own later.... not to mention you get students hooked on traveling as well :-)

I worked as an aupair in Vienna, got another working visa for New Zealnd --where I picked apples for money and lived in a van. I spent a year In Ecuador as a student living in an indigenous village, and worked on an archaeological dig in Belize. This was in my early 20s I never had more than $5000 in my bank account--but I managed to have great experiences! Now, in my 30s --I travel with more luxury--(airBnBs instead of hostles) but I make more $ than when I was 20-which is also a fun way to travel.

[@midlifecrisistheportugalye6682]

You really need to research RTW v buying individual tickets. I saved about £200-400 doing it that way. Also get airmiles via a credit card or when you buy stuff (this is paying for my Bangkok to Tokyo return flight). Finally, hostels are not always cheaper than hotels if you want your own room...compare using tripadvisor or trivago (dont just use one) and dont forget airbnb

Loved the video! I am ready to do this again - 25 years later (25 year hiatus raising a family) . So here are my long ago experiences that may be worth looking into. I hopped aboard a tall ship as a deck hand and sailed from England to Australia. We stopped in the Madeira Islands, the Canaries, Cape Verde Islands, Brazil, (almost Tristan da Cuna - but the weather was too rough), So. Africa, Mauritius, and finally reaching Australia stopping in Freemantle and then ending up in Sydney. There are still quite a few ships out there (especially out of Australia but some in the US) ) where you can either get paid a stipend or negotiate to work for travel. There are many stops along the way and you may have the opportunity to work for different ships from one place to another. Its a small community of sailors and they all pretty much know each other. My other thought was was considering container ships - sometimes they have space for travelers or at least they used to. Also, Vagabrothers, you totally skipped Africa! There are quite a few non-conflict areas to explore.

when you have whole year why not take some trains or buses instead of planes? that is much more cheap. and i'm pretty sure you can spen much less than 10k, probably even less than 5k. if you also earn a little in that time, that makes it even more cheap.

According to some people I've been listening and reading about for the past 2 years, in SE Asia, you can go on a month in India for 300$, Nepal and Sri Lanka for 400$ and the rest of it (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos...) for 500-750$ a month. Add up for 13 months (because there is always unexpected expendings), you may do 1 year in SE Asia for +/- 6000$, living well and doing activities P. S. I think 6 months in SE would be enough. Then you should check central america or something, still cheap, and different

[@ZsofiFila]

Pretty accurate :) we're on a world around trip right now, started from Europe, calculated the prices until New-Zealand (where we'll work) which we reach in 5 months, we estimated 6500 euros (living in private rooms, but also workaway-ing sometimes, eating what the locals and we're not the party people) it seems legit so far (we are in Nepal right now). We also saved on airplane ticket by reaching China inland (buses and transsiberian rail - do not book through an agency but on the official Russian site, it's much cheaper!) thumbs up for the video! 👍🏻

[@siddhant3852]

don't wanna say that but the travelling and this channel is only for western peoples ... like seriously I m n indian and I can say that if someone come from u.s with 1000$ to india he/she can live a "royal" life in india for about 2 - 3 years. Travelling around the world is a thing for the peoples who have strong currencies in their pocket .

[@vagabrothers]

+siddhant pandey This is true, the video is written from our perspective as travelers from the west. We try to make the information here as universal as possible, but we also need to make some assumptions about our average audience (most of whom are in the US and Europe) in order to make the video specific enough to be useful. That's why we try to focus on teaching principles, rather than talking in specific numbers: calculating the cost of travel is the same technique, regardless of your currency

[@siddhant3852]

I appreciate your perspective and ur channel ... I just wanna share my thoughts doesn't matter someone agrees or not!

[@pennytraveltv2788]

siddhant pandey This is the comfort I'm looking for :). I'll be doing a gap year travel in December and I'm going to penny pinch my budget but of course still have fun! Thanks for your insight.

[@psmithrpm]

I've hitchhiked and/or worked for transport on boats, ships and planes around the world. Often solo pilots just want someone to talk to on private planes. You can work yachts as crew. Cruise ships will sometimes take you on if you're willing to work in the galley or help entertain guests, etc. There's plenty of creative ways to reduce or eliminate transport over the oceans if you're not in a hurry and not picky about where you'll end up. It's the difference between being a tourist or traveler. Let serendipity rule and it'll be a lot more fun and interesting.

[@imnithinpaul05]

Is the audio actually messed up or is it just me ??!!

[@wernerdekock585]

My personal experience for anyone starting from scratch is getting a job on cruise ship. It allows you to earn money and travel,but most importantly you meet a lot of people from around the world. Make friends and boom accommodation and local knowledge is sorted cutting down on some major costs.

[@canardprophet3419]

Language has been my main concern in regards to traveling the world. I was wondering how you managed to overcome this barrier.

[@vagabrothers]

Plenty of ways to overcome a language barrier. Before you go do a bit of research and find some useful phrases, such as hello, how much does this cost, and do you speak english (or whichever language you speak fluently)

[@LannasMissingLink]

vagabrothers also the hostelworld app has a really cool language section!

[@randheerchhabra570]

Walking Trash language is nothing try to connect . the first universal language

[@williamolsen8464]

I've been to 13 countries had no problem with language barrier. Just learn some basic phrases you'll be fine. Good luck!

[@woozyrocketman1784]

Everyone in the world, speaks English or Spanish - except in Europe, and China, Russia.

[@kidsperspectivefamilytrave9184]

FYI - For a family of 4 (housing, food, transportation) we spent about $70 per day in SE Asia, $100 in China, $220 in Singapore, $160 in Japan, $200 in Australia, $200 in New Zealand. You could do it more cheaply but we were staying at Airbnb's not hostels which accounted for the majority of the daily cost. To stay on budget we spent more time in SE Asia and less time in other, more expensive, countries. The cost of food in Australia and New Zealand was expensive. *Not including airfare between countries.

[@jelle9710]

These kind of vids are always about food and accomodation but the real expense is flights and that will always be expensive

[@vagabrothers]

Next video in this series is about how to get the cheapest flights possible. Stay tuned :)

[@Minoritynomad]

it depends. For example, I just booked a flight from Bangkok to Berlin for $201. Flights aren't always expensive. It's about planning and felxibility. I use skyscanner.com religiously.

[@jelle9710]

Minority Nomad yeah i flew from amsterdam to lisbon for 9 bucks but thats very rare

[@hethrir]

Look many date to buy your ticket or look to make many stop to have a ticket not expensive

[@stevehapp]

flights can be cheap if you know what you are doing.

[@ryanattaway51]

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH!! Y'all are a live saver and a blessing to the adventures and explores of the world. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@CristianSandoval]

Great video guys! Audio kinda funky though :( Cool shirt alex I recently got a full time job, I feel like now I can't make any big travel trips, now what? #snapsquad

[@Matthewsinstrumentalmusic]

Cristian Sandoval try to do a contractor position where you can take vacation when you want. I work a job where our busy season is March-June and realistically you can make 60-100K in that time. It’s sales but if you work hard for that time you can travel the rest of the months.

[@antoniabaker7770]

I'm taking off next year for around a years travel. Aussie here. 6 months of it are hiking and the rest is just where ever I get too. I have an around the world first class ticket with 6 stops to get me going. The rest I have no idea so this really helped. I'm old but a newbie so all advice is welcome. The budget blew me away. I've set aside much more plus I have income while I'm away. I might not go home. Thanks again. Xxoo

[@alexlefter480]

visit romania!!

[@vagabrothers]

+Alex Lefter we would love to!

[@Dom44519]

It seems as if this channel constantly monitors my thoughts and posts things that is always relevant to what I'm curious about. You guys are incredible! I'm pursuing my dream of being a travel journalist and these videos are very helpful to backpacking and just living life the way I want.

[@antifugazi]

You can do this way cheaper

[@suem2452]

Thanks Dishy Dan the Traveling Man for sharing this video, loved it. I'll be watching you and the Vagabrothers now.

[@MrVikingsandra]

As long as you don't tell me to go to Mc Donald's...

[@vagabrothers]

We don't ever tell anyone to go to McDonalds...

[@MrVikingsandra]

vagabrothers That's cause you're wise guys evidently 🖒 I always like your videos, keep up the good work!

[@liviaargolo1736]

Guys, this channel is just AWESOME. Congrats!

[@envanligfjant]

YOUR VIDEO IS REALLY LOUD

[@vagabrothers]

+envanligfjant yeah we've noticed, sorry there was a mistake during the export but if you turn the volume down a bit it's fine :)

[@Lauren_aida]

I love that more and more people are dedicating long periods of their life to travel!

[@shatikac]

I guessed 15000!

[@vagabrothers]

Nice job Shatika :)

[@reginarubio770]

Been watching your videos religiously. Planning a 6 month backpacking trip and your tips help a lot. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@annamcarthur3409]

I can say that as a middle aged couple from Australia, travelling in South East Asia in mid range accommodation and eating at street food stalls and local cafes, we can travel for less than half the cost of travelling within our own country, even with the extra cost of airfares. Would go to S E Asia every time. Great food, great people and wonderful experiences.

[@sumi4998]

I am an au pair in the Netherlands. So far my expenses were just flight tickets. If you book a (changeable) return ticket it costs less than a one way ticket. Accommodation and meals and some toiletries are provided by the family. I earn money, which I use for other travel during my off days.

[@eugenepashch5213]

Just feel compelled to share: 18 months, some central and ALL south america countries. + 7 months en mi ciudad preferido en todo el mundo - Buenos Aires living large and partying hard, all that ended up costing me 28K USD. 18 Months. ALL S America countries (68 different cities, parks, hikes, beaches, etc.). Most fulfilling experience ever - priceless. Memories - out of this world.

[@mateustavares631]

Travelling is ultimately very personal, how much you spend depends on your lifestyle and how fast or slow you travel. Since I live in Brazil I'm constantly traveling to other South American countries. I've been backpacking through the continente one country at a time, I usually do one or two trips per year spending two weeks to a month in each country. What really adds up are the trips within the country itself, Machu Picchu set me back $700 for a 4 day 3 night trip. Most of my trips I'm able to budget between $1500-$2500, having discounts on flights or even free flights with miles help a lot. Hostels in South America are generally pretty good and cheap, the same goes for food. My only recommendation is doing your search ahead of time, and knowing when a price sounds too good to be true, with tours and activities it's usually a good idea to research prices and companies, as most times you get what you paid for.

[@GrovieJoe]

Good tips for Europe, go off peak, four people traveling can hire one car and split the fuel, easier and cheaper than public transport. Eurocamp and Canvas holiday out of season are very cheap, you can get up to six in a mobile home. Ten quid a night after tenth September in Saint Tropez. Bulgaria is cheaper than Thailand hide in Bulgaria until you get to off peak in France.

[@Neon_Garden]

A major one to watch out for I would say is phone service, choose the cheapest option from your provider(something that lets you work gps and phone calls that’s it) always try to look for wifi spots and use a vpn

[@kawhiajack]

I moved to the UK from New Zealand and spent close to the year budget in a few months in Europe partying. Had the time of my life and no regrets but it adds up real quick. Looking forward to Eastern Europe next season and exploring new continents. Also considering doing what you guys suggest and working in Australia, maybe even for a year and try to live off that for 2-3

[@williamolsen8464]

I'm from Australia

[@remoterish]

Spot on. I'm spending around $25/day in Asia and $45/day in Europe. Have visited 20 countries so far but none outside these two continents. Not using the round-trip ticket since I'm an Indian citizen and need to go back to India for each visa application (weak passport holder expense)

[@avidtraveller]

Great vid guys. Thanks for putting this up because I know I've personally asked about budget a few times.

[@vagabrothers]

+Brad Hewitt cheers Brad :)

[@bookswithabreaux]

This is definitely a lower cost than I thought. I expected y'all to say a year traveling would be around $30,000. Great to know all of this. Can't wait to hear about the working while traveling tips! Y'all are great, keep it up (:

[@MarcoPauloTravel]

I just spent 3 months in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala and spent about $1k USD per month to give ppl an idea about Central America

[@crescentsuniverse4]

Once I am 14 I'm going to start doing small jobs and working to save up to travel around the world I want to see where I came from and I know this is the only way to do it. This has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, so no matter what I'm going to see the world and follow my dream. :)

[@kringlevillaluz9687]

I’m traveling 2 years from now. And I want to take advantage of traveling. 😍thank you.

[@redromina]

Great video! Thanks for sharing all of the tips. I've been traveling since I was a toddler. It's an ever changing industry but I love it! It's true that the cost really depends on what kind of traveler you are.

[@Denn1sdw]

Awesome content guys! I've been binge watching this channel for the last 2 days! I came back home to study after staying in Aus & SE Asia for a bit over 2 years. Seeing you guys "living the dream" just makes me want to leave again.

[@NATHANE86]

Such a good video, love the practical use stuff, rather than leaving it at "depends on your taste", I think now everyone can make a goal of what it should take to go on a couple holidays...ballin' video guys!

[@jovandenkovic9776]

I'm 17, planning to start traveling the world as soon as i finish highschool, in 6 months!! Can't wait!! 😁

[@jermainegage2026]

I guessed 10 grand . Also when I travel I never Buy a alcohol drink on the flight I bring my own booze on carry on . u can bring a sandwich bag of nippers , they must be under 2 Oz each most flights ask u to put them on the security belt in a Ziploc sandwich bag . then once you go through the TSA u can buy your mixers or use the free soda or juice on the flight that is offered

[@felicianavernon7176]

40k will take me 4 years to accumulate base on my salary. Although I would love to travel the world 1 whole year. I prefer to travel throughout my life (also because I love my job too). What I can do now is travel in my region fairly cheap since I live in Central America. I also get to travel every year because of my job so I that's why I also love my job. I encourage everyone to consider traveling Central and South America, I can attest to it being cheap. Although I have mainly traveled through Guatemala and Honduras, my family have been traveling since before I was born and every year since (that's because my family consists of 7 ppl). Note: we would travel twice a year (Easter and December - not summer because we used that time to save for our trip in December). A year without traveling for me is not a good year so even though traveling a whole year is my ultimate goal and I would love to and I will not too far from now, I think it can be done cheaper. Trust me, book one flight then go from there along the way you will meet locals and tourists who have found cheaper ways to travel on land or by sea!!!!

[@alihughes5516]

Great video. Now the world has opened up I’m going travelling at the end of April. Great bits of advice.

[@Ashley-ol5ng]

I REALLY appreciate this video and it truly gave me a better idea of where to begin planning. Thanks vagabrothers!

[@happyhayleytime]

I spent last October and November in central/Western Europe and once I added everything up I spent around $6000-7000 (CDN) I stayed in hostels the whole time and did most of the "touristy" things, going to a museum in most cities, eating out at restaurants, and other additional costs. I budgeted pretty extensively, but for the level of comfort I was looking for this was pretty cheap for me. I was not comfortable Couchsurfing, and planned to eat out once or twice in each city to experience the food culture, while the rest I would cook in my dorm. My biggest cost was the flight and train travel within (and getting to) Central Europe (ended up paying $400 CDN for a train ticket out of Italy, ouch. Poor planning) For sure could have done it way cheaper, but it was my first ever trip abroad and I went by myself! I will be using this tips for my next trip in 2019 when I will be doing a few workaways in Japan and Europe! Thanks for all the info 😄 Can't wait for the next video!!
