One of the most common questions we get when we tell people that we’re traveling for a year is: “How much is THAT going to cost!?”

Well, we plan to tell you exactly how much! Not only will we be completely transparent with our expenses, but we’ll pass along some of our tips and tricks for saving while traveling. We believe we can actually live cheaper while traveling the world for a year than many people (our former selves included) live just by remaining in one place all year.

Check out our blog post detailing our overall travel budget, and then check in monthly as we provide updates at the end of each month.

Also, check out the blog post here for a summary of the most expensive and most affordable countries that we traveled to in 2018.
