Youβre very lucky in Albania, you met only the good people and reasonable priced hotels that provide you with kitchen. I lived 4 months in Tirana, couldnβt get a hotel that allows me to cook .

Great video. Really enjoyed watching. Travel on!!

Nice one guys! Those monthly costs are pretty similar to ours. We eat out less, but our entertainment costs (Dick and Devil) contribute significantly to the monthly costs. Hope you are well in Greece and was so lovely to meet with you guys!

Love that y'all broke everything down & gave the total for a full month of travel expenses. That's awesome! Can't wait to see your next adventures on video β€

That looked like you had a great time

Well you two are living the dream! I hope all is well and you have a greater time with each new place. Question: How far out have you planned out? Is it a very loose plan or do you like to have all the details planned out a year away? Being a points guy myself, I learned early on that to get the best deals Iβd go out 11 months, book, and then monitor things to see if the costs go down. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to see where the adventure takes you!

great video and do I detect a kiwi accent :-)

There's no way you can make that budget work in the US. Did your place have a full kitchen and laundry?
