I know that that “total cost” number looks like a lot.
But, if you think about it, that is all of our living expenses, and traveling around the world.
How much does it cost you to live for two years?
Your numbers look awesome, Jonathan! $68,000 to travel the world for 26 months… for two! that’s incredible!
My wife is amazing. That’s how this works out I think… she’s found us some really incredible deals in the past two years and the trick has been to be flexible enough in schedule to take them when they happen. You and Yvette have found some great travel deals too, yes?
Hi Carrie and Jonathan,
This is Pete from Seattle, WA. We met at Simon Bolivar in Quito. Nice to read your site and keep up on your travels. Congratulations on your 26-month journey! -Pete Dills
Hey Pete! Thanks very much for reading and commenting! How have you been since Quito? What are you up to now?
I think it’s awesome you kept that good of records that you could publish this blog! Very cool. 🙂
Thanks Brian! We both are good at record keeping… it is helpful for us to know how business stuff is doing on a week-to-week basis so we can improve… Thanks for the compliment!
What only this much? Even though $67k is still a big amount, I thought your travel over 30 countries for two would have costs way more than that…
Thank you for sharing the numbers.
Well, we also got by with a little help from our friends. 🙂 We loved our time with you in Finland. Thanks so much for giving us a home there!
Wow!!!
Wow that’s a lot or wow that’s not much or wow… just interesting?
Wow! because its a lot… Wow! because its not much when compared to days spent… wow! because its interesting that you actually counted.
Nice website. I ran into your site looking for bus info. I live in Panama. My wife and I were on that cruise. cruise costs?
Hey Richard! We found a fantastic deal on the cruise from Spain to Panama… for both of us it was about $900. Truly amazing value, especially for the amount we spent. How about you? How much did your cruise cost?
oh, it was a little less. we have some friends that go on a ton of cruises and they let us know that a 200 dollar certificate was available on Royal Carib. website. But RC honors the price drops etc. as we didn’t pay the balance due until August I think. Plus the prices kept on dropping as we waited for the cruise. But you know you end up spending more on the cruise..such as the tipping for cabin attendant and wait staff, etc. But the cruise are great bargains. I went to Mt. Teide on the Canary Islands. That had excellent scenery.
