How to Budget for a Long-Term World Trip
💡 Quick Tip
Traveling the world isn't just for millionaires. Learn to calculate daily costs by region and how to save so your money lasts.
The Nomad Budget
Traveling for 6 months requires a focus on daily averages and avoiding "capital leaks" like bank fees. Breakdown: Housing (40%), Food (30%), Insurance (10% - non-negotiable), Flights/Visas (20%). Use "Slow Travel" to keep costs low; moving fast kills the budget.
📊 Practical Example
You want to travel SE Asia for 6 months. Average cost: $35/day. Total daily needs: $6,300. Add $1,200 for flights and $400 for insurance. Total: $7,900. Saving $330/mo for 2 years funds your dream.
