Budget travelling

Would you believe me if I told you that it’s possible to travel comfortably in a Western European country for as much as 14€ a day? Or that you could spend between 10 and 12€ a day to travel in the Caucasus? Or that we travelled in Turkey for a month not spending a penny (kuruş, technically) on transport or accommodation. And visited Southeast Asia for less than 12€ a day (including flights), having three hot meals every day.

Travelling on a budget is an art whose arcane secrets I’d like to reveal to you. So sit comfortably and learn.

Of course, the amount of money you spend on travelling depends on many factors, including your way of travelling, what you want to do and see during your trip and the geographic location of your destination.
