One of my goals is to show everyone how affordable it is to travel. In order to do so I want to be as transparent as possible when it comes to my budget. I am going to keep track of my daily expenses and make them public. The comments will be closed because this is just a way to track them and for everyone to see I don’t want a discusion going on. After I am done traveling through a country I will do an in depth post and explain everything in detail for that country. In those post I will leave the comments open for questions, thoughts and discussion.
