Trip Costs

When we were planning our trips the people who posted their finances were invaluably helpful for calculating how much we needed to make it work. It's also something many people don't like to talk about so expense breakdowns are sort of rare in the online travel world. In the spirit of (hopefully, maybe) inspiring someone else to get out there, here is a rough breakdown of our costs (sorry I didn't track expenses in much detail prior to the Travco trip).

Around the world in 2010

This trip cost us (two) roughly ~4k, including all airfare. That's horribly expense for 2 months of traveling and I would never do it again. But sometimes you have to spend some money to learn

Around the world in 2005-06

This trip cost me roughly ~10k, including all airfare. I was solo back then and could have probably spent about ~2k less without really cramping my style much, but a fair amount of the time was spent trying to drink myself into an early grave and alcohol is expensive. I don't know how those numbers translate to today's money, but I wouldn't hesitate to set out again with half that much.
