November 8 / Accommodations

Don’t ask why, but I’ve been keeping a list of all the places I’ve slept. Strangely it’s one of the more accurate loggings I have. It’s been over a year and half at this point and I’ve recently hit over 100 different homes. Ha. That’s something like an average of…

Bolivia was undoubtedly the cheapest country I had been in in South America. Unfortunately the expenses below don’t reflect that but there were extenuating circumstances. Staying at a party hostel was a necessity. I needed the diversion and a place to recharge and connect with people. I also stayed in…

I had no intention or expectations of spending so much time in Peru. To be honest, Peru never really held all that much intrigue for me. Sure there’s Macchu Pichu and while working with Peru Hop on their old site, I learned about the desert in Ica, and a couple…

It’s officially been over a year and a half since I left home and embarked on this new path. Looking back on where I started in terms of the things I purchased and brought with me, it’s surprising how little has changed. Seems most of my decisions back then were…

I didn’t realize I spent as much time in Ecuador as I did. In truth I only went to a few places, the Galapagos, Montanita, and a few nights in random places as I rushed through the country to meet a friend in Peru and to avoid the USD expenses…

Well, I survived. When I left my old life I had no idea what to expect and whether I’d be able to afford living on the road. I had looked at my income and made some educated guesses but there was no way to know. Today, I know. Life on…

Colombia was a disaster in terms of tracking all my spending. Christmas and New Years were rather expensive, as I wanted something different in terms of food and drinks. There was a lot of activity at first but this was also where I got lost for a while and had…

Panama is the country I spent the least amount of time in. At 14 days, it was a bit of a pass-through country. I hadn’t planned on staying long and thought it would be a gateway to Colombia, which it was. I did spend most of the time in Bocas…

Costa Rica. Ugh. Ok, yes it’s beautiful, but god does it really have to be that expensive? It’s absurdly expensive and I don’t understand why. Of all the countries I’ve been to so far, this one made the least sense. Granted some of the places I went to were tourist…

Nicaragua was never on the radar. In fact I only went there because 1. I had to flee the costs of Costa Rica and 2. I was already so close I couldn’t find a reason not to at least check it out. I hadn’t planned on staying very long but…

Almost 4 months in, and time I think, to do a bit of a recap. I left my home, sold everything I own and said goodbye to my friends in early April. Since then I’ve been through 4 countries, 3 of them new, a number of cities, multiple towns and…

June 9 / Finances

My time in Florida was spent at my Dad’s and my Aunt’s so housing costs were nil, but I still had lots to buy to prepare for the trip so travel investments were high and well, the USA is all-around expensive so it’s not surprise I still ended up spending…

Travel spending The financial portion is more about having a quick reference I go back to than anything else, but it’s also to help provide some context for those interested in traveling and seeing how someone else spent. You may spend more or less at every location. We each have…
