How Much I Spent in 1 month Living in Tulum

[@user-tv3zm9zf6s]

Currently living vicariously through you until I finish college. Such an inspiration!!

[@BackpackingBananas]

Hope classes are going well ❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@lynettesadler5781]

Doing the same also. Watching all videos of people who have moved to Mexico. Plan to move there in 2022

[@RockessentialTim]

Terrific! This is the kind of stuff we need to give a little more thought to when we travel.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I agree 😊🙌🏼

[@onehundredmillionstars1276]

Yes I totally agree. Really good vlog thank you @BackpackingBananas

[@strubbelknopf3402]

I've been in Mexico since September and spend about 6 weeks total in Tulum. Tulum was defenitely the most expensive place I've been to and my monthy budget is somewhere between 400 and 600€. So its easily possible to spend less here in Mexico

I really enjoyed this. I love your channel and hope you stay in Mexico for years because it’s great to see it through your eyes. I’ll be bringing my wife and 2 little girls to live in Mexico next year and so these videos are informative for us.

[@BucketListTravellers]

We're impressed with your spreadsheets! They're very well structured. We used to create spreadsheets for a living and this is better than a lot of one's we've seen used in businesses 👍

[@BackpackingBananas]

Thanks 😊 I really like making spreadsheets 😅

[@JanetNewenham]

Love this babe!! Sooooo much detail and those spreadsheets look amazing! Can't wait to start using them!

[@claudiecake]

Would love to see more of these as you travel round Mexico- also you should definitely share your backpacking budget mistakes- I’d definitely watch that and hopefully learn from it

[@NomadShifu]

Tulum Is Incredibly Expensive. And while beach destinations that appeal to upscale and luxury travelers are rarely bargains, the price of hotels in Tulum can feel incredibly high

[@saratemp790]

Make a video of your impression there, what you expected, what you didn't expect.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I deffo would like to make a video of my honest thoughts!!

[@shannong9469]

Good clip thanks. Love Tulum , wonderful place.

[@dh031729]

Great planner! The budget workbook looked legit!

[@NomadLikeaLocal]

Cheers from a slow travel couple from Brazil! Thanks for sharing your budget in Tulum, we consider stay there for a while and a £1k spend would be acceptable for us.

[@yangzhengqing8024]

Nice see you here. I have been in Playa Del Carmen for 3 months too. I have also been spending about $2000 usd a month. I'm American. I am visiting family in the US for two weeks currently but will be back in PDC Dec 22.

[@badxerge]

1.- You're reselling the bike so you should only consider a possible loss as a cost. 2.- Open an account in a bank in Belize, that way you don't have to pay income tax in the UK.

I need a video on how to save pre-trip, I'm hopeless!!!

[@LauraPalmerD]

Wow. That's incredibly expensive :O I used to teach in Mexico and earn around $500 a month and lived super well on that, including travels. While backpacking is more expensive (hostels, airbnb-s, etc), I would say $1000 would be the very max for Mexico. I have been a traveler my entire life, nomadic for over 10 years, now more of a part-time nomad (have a fixed apartment I rent w/ my husband - where I am stuck for covid - and go for longer and shorter trips anywhere from a few weeks to 3 months at a time) - and never in my life spent that much on traveling, except when in Europe. I have no idea what you must be spending money on to spend 2000 for one person...

[@BackpackingBananas]

Most Tulum prices are the same price as England so it's more comparable to travelling there than Mexico itself

[@TheArtSavvyGirl]

So here are some major questions. Do you see yourself buying a house in Mexico? Or the UK? Tulum is pretty gosh darn expensive. Do you see yourself going to some more cheaper places in Mexico to live? Now I’m not talking where you put yourself in jeopardy of course. But there are places that are half that amount that are really safe. When your budget in food cost of how cheap it is in other places.

[@BackpackingBananas]

I plan to buy a house in the UK. And yes I deffo want to go somewhere cheaper! Tulum has been fun but too expensive to remain sustainable for me to stay much longer

Hi, in order to work out a viable budget, what percentage do you recommend spending on your travels vs saving for whatever- is spending 75% of what you earn a good idea or should I err on the side of caution and stick to 50%.thanks

I tottttttally understand each person are different BUT for people with less budget: Its super possible to live (a comfortable) life with less here in Mexico: in Tulum about 500£ you can live VERY well just have to search a lot accomodation and other parts of Mexico (unless Baja California and Tulum) you can live even better!!!!!! Also that price NOT living in a hostel, with your suite or studio!!
